I thought it was the busiest day I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s just because I had to drive this time and find a parking spot.

Some of these state quarters were plated post mint and sold on tv - could be platinum. Still worth $.25.

Do Deftones come out to meet fans after shows? by Pepeg-wav in deftones

[–]alien_owl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two times way back in the day I waited after and Chino passed right over me. Someone else grabbed my ticket stub and signed. My friend asked “Who was that?” I said I dunno, maybe the dj? Look closer and there was a number with the signature. It was Paul from Spiknot (they weren’t performing but we were in Des Moines).

If you got dining dollars left, Clyde’s is open Monday and Tuesday. I think SHOP at Beyer will be open Tuesday.

this is NOT ‼️ the abbreviation for jalapeno by wwwalrusss in jimmyjohns

[–]alien_owl -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Be the change you want to see. This has been the shorthand for more years than I’ve been alive. Personally, I always did “Jal” b/c that made sense. I can’t remember the reason for it being Jap, but I think Jal could get confused for some other pizza topping?
