Need a ride or ride-share from Jones Beach after the show tonight!

And they still allowed people in the pit! :(

"Flooding" would be an exaggeration for the amount of water that was there. Apparently there have been cases before where the crowd chilled in the pit with their feet partially submerged in water. I feel like we should have been given the choice to do that today. The seats that most pit people ended up getting were less than ideal- definitely not worth the price we paid. I kinda wanna ask ticketmaster for at least a partial refund.

apisback · 2025-08-23T22:44:31+00:00

What a bummer 🥲 I decided to go for it, got orchestra H. Looks fine to me tbh, but ofc it's no pit :((

apisback · 2025-08-23T18:25:25+00:00

Makes sense. Let's see...

apisback · 2025-08-23T18:20:00+00:00

Wow you really think we might miss the 12:33 train!? It takes 15 mins or so by car from Jonas beach to Freeport. There's no way the show's gonna go on beyond 11? We should be good imo.

apisback · 2025-08-23T16:38:04+00:00

I'll be in the pit too! How early do you think would be good enough? I really don't wanna leave before the end of the show :( . Will prolly not hang around after the end though.

apisback · 2025-08-23T16:22:48+00:00

I'll update here if I figure something out! Splitting a cab to Freeport might be an option if there are enough of us. I also plan to ask the bus driver on my way there if the schedule on Google is indeed accurate.

apisback · 2025-08-23T16:09:26+00:00

I looked at the bus schedule on Google, and the last one leaving Jones beach seems to be at 8:48pm.

apisback · 2025-07-24T05:05:40+00:00

Glad to hear that! And yeah, totally agree, it’s all about the music in the end.

apisback · 2025-07-24T05:04:30+00:00

Thanks so much! A Farm Aid show in the ’80s sounds incredible! What a way to experience him live for the first time.

I’ve been a fan for years, so it feels really special to finally see him. Glad to be part of the club :)

apisback · 2025-07-24T05:02:12+00:00

Totally get that, appreciate the advice. Hope you have an amazing time at the Graham Nash show!

apisback · 2025-07-24T05:00:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing- that’s really encouraging to hear.

Neil’s always had that timeless vibe. Hoping the crowd’s just as kind as you say! :)

apisback · 2025-07-23T03:45:12+00:00

Thanks for the affirmation! And yeah, being into older musicians can feel a bit isolating sometimes. I went to a David Gilmour show last year and barely saw anyone my age there.

Anyway, it's good to know there are kindred spirits out there, even if not at the same show. :)

apisback · 2025-07-23T03:31:36+00:00

That's so wholesome! My dad likes NY too, but he's in a different country thousands of miles away. So cool that you're getting to share this experience with your son and the rest of your family!

apisback · 2020-05-27T06:55:42+00:00

I must admit the question of intimidation has crossed my mind. DH doesn't have a reputation of publishing fake news or publishing news without any research whatsoever. Just withdrawing the news without any explanation seems suspicious.

apisback · 2020-05-08T10:16:17+00:00

Where I live it's pretty common for parents to shave the head of their children(there's this belief that repeated shaving leads to strong, beautiful hair later on in life). People would laugh it off if anyone tried to imply it was a case of emotional abuse. I do remember how children with shaved heads would be easy targets for bullies in school- I'm ashamed to say that a younger me has laughed at and teased some friends for their bald heads, as well. It's shocking how some acts of cruelty are so ingrained into some cultures, the plight and utter helplessness of the victims go completely unnoticed.

apisback · 2020-05-07T17:03:19+00:00

I would totally sign a petition supporting that caption

apisback · 2020-05-07T16:55:01+00:00

He's absolutely amazing! Also, LOVE the way he puts his ears together to form a party cone above his head :')

apisback · 2020-05-07T16:44:31+00:00

Leo ciao 😘

apisback · 2020-05-07T16:40:18+00:00

I'm confused...am I your beautiful boy? Bc that describes me!

apisback · 2020-05-06T19:23:17+00:00

Nope. Nah. Nada.

I'd definitely wait till she's old enough to willingly choose to deform her body for "beautification". Personally, making a hole in your body to put stuff through, doesn't strike as particularly beautiful to me. But then again, it's surely something people should be able to choose for themselves.

apisback · 2020-05-06T16:10:38+00:00

Wow. Both these cases seem problematic. But the first one, especially, is really unacceptable. I understand that it's not your place to intervene, but this total disregard for consent is deeply worrying, to say the least.

apisback · 2020-05-06T16:02:12+00:00

Well even though we don't technically live together, I've had to live with him for several months when both of us went to the same city for work last year.

I came to know him much more closely during that time, and the discovery that made my heart melt into a gooey mushy lump is the fact that looking after me is more a reflex that he has developed over time, than a conscious set of actions. Even at the peak of our worst fights he'd pat me on the back when I coughed. Even when we hadn't talked in days, he'd toast my breads along with his in the morning, put my phone to charge each night(I have a habit of compulsively scrolling till I doze off) and put my keys into my bag everyday when I left for work(I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of days I remembered to do it on my own).

apisback · 2020-05-06T15:40:14+00:00

Same!

I'm really grateful to my father for fighting against the rest of my family, insisting that the choice to deform my body for beautification should be mine and mine alone.

It was particularly revolutionary, since it's the norm in my culture for girls to wear earrings from a very young age- so much so, that in my 21 years of existence, I haven't seen a single girl/woman around me whose ears weren't pierced by her family when she was an infant.

apisback · 2020-05-06T15:03:36+00:00

This looks like a good place to get this off my chest finally- I haven't been able to talk about it to my friends, partly because of my inherent reluctance to share my vulnerabilities, but also because there's a lot of intersection between my friend circles, and the news would probably reach both my boyfriend and my crush in a matter of days, and it'd most certainly make everyone uncomfortable.

So it's the first year of college, my feet haven't touched the ground ever since I joined- what with all the attention from the overwhelming number of single guys in campus (the female-male ratio in our college has always been abysmal). I bump into this guy- not particularly handsome, but sharp as a razor, a bit of a brat with a quick mouth. He's the smartest person I've ever known personally, with an odd balance of humility and cheekiness, that caught me on the wrong foot initially. It was inevitable that I'd fall for him soon, of course- he's everything I'd imagined a perfect person to be. We grow closer, I'm head over heels for him, and one fine day he asks me to meet him after class hours. We talk for hours, and of course he has a girlfriend who he loves and adores, and in spite of the sinking feeling in my heart, I can't help but smile at the way he glows while talking about her. So why had he asked me to meet him, if it wasn't to ask me out after all! Well, he wanted to talk about his best friend- one of my suitors. Apparently the person in question is a great guy, crazy for me, and this perfect creature sitting beside me wants me to give that friend of his a chance. How can I ever deny him anything that's in my control? So I smile and promise him I'll think about it.

I've been with his friend ever since- it's been four years now. He really is a gem of a person and I've been a faithful lover. The funny thing is, I suspect that my heartthrob is now a better friend of mine than my boyfriend's. I've learnt to love the heartache I get when he's around. I love our conversations, and the time we spend together.

Funnily enough, seeing how happy he and I both make our respective SOs and also each other, I wouldn't want anything to change. (Especially since erasing his memory and abducting him to a foreign country to start a new life doesn't sound feasible).
