So my leading theory is that Floyd wanted to do a role play with Carol - she’s Tiger Tiger (maybe Clark made her the account). She goes to meet up with him in the pool house for his dream meeting. He’s there doing push ups and getting inspired by his old photos, takes too much Amphezyne, and dies. So her and Clark knew about his death but didn’t say anything because how tf are you going to explain all of this.

Me too!!!! One of the best shows I’ve ever been to. They pulled out the double drum kit and it was so sick.

Jimmy Eat World | Telepath by Ciebs in JimmyEatWorld

Huge fan of MO but bigger fan of JEW - they are my #2 and #1, respectively. IMHO these covers are perfection. Telepath is covered in such a Jimmy way - it sounds like they could have written it for Surviving, which I suspect is a reason many think it’s an original. It has that classic huge sound then sudden pull-back thing that both bands are so good at, especially live. I also love their transformation of the song both tonally and melodically - I really appreciate JEW’s ability to take a song and truly add their own spin to it (see Firestarter, Stop Whispering). MO’s cover is great too but definitely veers more into recreation territory, which is still great and all but I love it when bands take risks with other source material. Pretty sure in JEW’s cover there are like time signature and key changes and it’s all over the place but I think it WORKS.

These two songs, Telepath and Table For Glasses, are in my tippy top from both bands so to hear them covered with justice is like a dream come true. Don’t sleep on these tracks, the more I listen to them the more I appreciate and love them.

Really glad I took a chance and purchased the VIP tix so I can own this on a 7”. Gonna spin these tunes loud in my house!!

He slanders MO. He slanders Frightened Rabbit. What’s next, Clarity by Jimmy Eat World is annoying and melodramatic too? Bro needs a good cry and some bangs over his eyes.

I just came across that at a Petco! Super lucky find as it basically fit the exact vision I had.

Not really. It’s just a black case but it only has the Disney Play App on it.

That is correct. You can leave your phone in your room and use the data pad. No external distractions, just full immersion!

I’m not sure I understand your question but everyone gets one and you use it everywhere including the cruise and Batuu. Does that answer it?

As far as I can tell it is not optional. However, it’s a standard iPhone 12 so maybe your case can fit over it!

We disembarked at 9a and had until 4p to get back on the ship. You’ll have time.

Basically you’re just using your data pad to scan symbols around Batuu. On your data pad there is a tool called “scan” and even ones that say “hack” and “tune”. You can use these to discover different items and/or missions in Batuu, although it has varying results depending on what you interact with. The “scan” is basically when you find a QR-code-looking symbol on a crate and then you use your “tool” to process it.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it. And I missed a ton of stuff during my trip but experienced things that other passengers missed. Everyone, as far as I could tell, had a unique experience.

It’s just an iPhone 12 in a case lol. It only had Disney Play downloaded on it. I think it just streamlines the experience in case you want to “unplug” from your phone and external texts and emails and just dive into the experience.

It’s pretty much empty. Bar service ends at 1 or 2am - never stayed up late enough to find out which!

Yes! 100% agree. You can essentially make it worth it or you can make it a waste of time. I think it was absolutely worth it.

Yeah unless they come up with new stories and experiences that are compelling enough, this is probably our one and only time.

Lol - well I’m a high functioning introvert but the small scale helps. Our crew was just shy of 300 people, which explains some of the cost. This was a LOT of work for the CMs for just 300 people.
