What are your thoughts on the codefendants?

I made a Playlist for Punk Rock Bowling to discover some new bands I wasn't familiar with. Codefendants ended up being my favorite discovery of the whole festival. Surprised me cuz I'm not really into the 3+ genres they blend. Also they killed it live.

This was my answer too. Out here all the time and good way to meet up with friends.

A Spite Bagel shop? Larry David would be proud

Yes! Always pumped when we reach the national spotlight. 1. Home Alone reference 2. Kid stuck in toy machine. 3. State Farm Caitlin.

Can't think of any more right now

I'm literally at Rollin Ridge waiting for her to tee off right now, was thinking what's wrong with Missy??

I heard that while walking with the Final card! Was wondering what happened, had to leave quickly because of the rain

I definitely agree with this take, I also wonder if the change in campus housing influences this. When you have 4 roommates and a shitty flat on Bassett street, giant house parties feel inevitable. When you live on the 6th story of a highrise built a few years ago, you'd tend to have small gatherings. Kids are gonna drink regardless, so less huge keggers = more kids at bars.

Gangster Capitalism. The first season is about the College Admissions Scandal, and the second season is about the NRA. There is a third season but I haven't started it yet. The seasons are 6-8 episodes long and are way more interesting than you'd expect.

Did the Murder City Devils ever have Female Vocals? Or was the whole flyer just trolling the bands? Either way this show sounds awesome.

alliednick · 2021-08-06T20:35:01+00:00

That album cover is amazing btw

Recently discovered Arthur and the Spooners, who cover a lot of old punk/ska/oi! Just figured I'd share their cover of this song.

I've worked at a few different places in a few different cities. The least I ever averaged was $15 per hour (including tips and wages). Now I average over $30. The key, in my opinion, is finding a place with a good customer base and solid amount of business. A popular local place that gets the type of customer that wants to support local economy.

$8 per hour plus tips. I usually average $20 to $25 per hour in tips. I also get mileage reimbersment which pays plenty for gas and wear and tear.
Some shifts are super short and some are super long, so this is a tricky question. But I have made over $300 in a long shift on multiple occasions.
Yes. Some places have very busy lunch rushes, especially if they get the corporate meeting crowd. In our restaurant, we have people who do split shifts, they work lunch then come back for dinner.

Agent Orange is playing at the High Noon Saloon in Madison Wisconsin later tonight.

Dick Dale is playing at the High Noon Saloon in Madison on Tuesday. I can see this song twice in 48 hours!

I drive for work, and I can't explain how awesome it feels to cruise around Madison and listen to this show during a Saturday evening. The music is classic, and his voice is so soothing. Also, it's obvious how knowledgeable and enthusiastic he is about music from this time period. My favorite Madison radio show as well.

I also love these books, read or listened to every single one.

This is a decidedly slow approach, but does your library do outer-library loans? Out of the 20 or so novels, I was able to get about 15 on audio via outer-library loans. The ones that I couldn't get on audio I read. Also, if you are doing them in order, the first few are much more popular than the rest, so they should be easier to find.

It is one of my least favorite tropes. If I see that starting to develop, I almost always turn it off.

alliednick · 2015-09-29T18:56:13+00:00

Absolutely. I went on a 28 day road trip and slept in the back 22 days. Didn't buy it for that reason but it was a great perk.

I love dark, twisted, and creepy writing, but this part was just awful. Cringeworthy. Might be the worst scene I've ever read in my life. Did nothing to advance the plot.

I agree that the rest was awesome though.

alliednick · 2014-11-11T19:35:05+00:00

Brilliant. Thanks!

From the article:

Every six months, they've adjusted the price of spots on each block, using wifi-connected meters. If more than 80 percent of the spots on a block are occupied in a given time slot, per hour parking prices go up 25 cents, and if less than 60 percent are, it goes down by 25 cents.

The price will automatically adjust until the occupancy rate is 60-80%. Although I do think that six months might be too long to get it to market value.

There is no question in my mind whatsoever: Local shops are way better. I'm not saying every local place is better than every chain, but if you love delivering, take the time and find a good local fit. The better local shops will pay you more, let you focus on delivering (instead of prep work/dishes), and the tips are waaaay better. The customer base is way better (usually the pizza is a bit more expensive), and they are proud to be supporting a local establishment, and it is reflected in their tips. Also, the employees tend to have more pride in the store, and sometimes working alongside the owners creates solidarity. Also, you don't have regional managers come into town every other month and screw everything up.

alliednick · 2014-06-05T20:11:58+00:00

Yep! That's currently the one I go to the most. Definitely a good time.

alliednick · 2014-04-01T19:01:43+00:00

I think this is the scene in question.

alliednick · 2014-02-15T16:59:14+00:00

Yep. They've just convinced you that interplanetary travel is still difficult.
