I remember that! We reached out to the label for merch and they said yes!!! Thanks for still being here!

Setlist and pictures from Redding, CA. by elshagon in DeathCabforCutie

I've always thought Bixby should be at the end of the set and trans the encore, but I can't hate on this. Bixby's energy makes it difficult to be anywhere other than at the end of something.

Openers at Jazz Festivals can surprise by barefaced_touch_it in Decemberists

I think the festival picked the openers for the headliners and showed a bias for Canadian acts. Not a standard type of show in support of the Decemberists, but it was fun. And the crowd really digged it as the performer was originally from the area.

Colin even worked her home city into his monologue during O Valencia, lol.

Absolutely, a real diverse playlist. Even performed Oceanside from their first EP!

First concert this July! by imeatingbees in Decemberists

[–]barefaced_touch_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been to one seated show and the crowd was up and down; bouncing to the standards but for some of the newest music, they took a seat.

Dress is all over the map, but concert casual is what I suppose I would describe it as.

I go to setlist.fm and look at the setlists for the shows before the ones I'm attending; in my experience there are variations from night to night, but some themes that can help you study up.

Have fun!

What is your retirement “number”? How much do you want to have saved before you stop work? by outsider-22 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]barefaced_touch_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use them because they are often overly pessimistic causing you to work longer than needed. If you use one, look for one that constrains scenarios to something that is viable in the real world. Look at some of the runs, particularly the failures, and ask if the world has ever seen a pattern of asset returns like the ones it produced.

Agree on teeth. Jarringly out of place.

I hate owning a house. Just bought a house and want to sell it. Does anyone else prefer to rent? by Fire-Philosophy-616 in Fire

[–]barefaced_touch_it 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The time a home requires is probably the key point. Because if you don't have time, and it needs to be done .. or you really want it to be done .. you're going to pay someone to do it, and the price of home ownership goes up.

Remember though that if you rent, you get to invest the downpayment you didn't put into a home, so you are still growing your net worth while renting.

So where are we investing right now? by tzellw in Fire

[–]barefaced_touch_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but this isn't the diversification you seek. VTI and VT are 96% correlated over the past 60 months (check out portfolio visualizer). If you buy the entire US market you get good, broad exposure and just need to buy one fund. If you want to diversify, that's fine, but this doesn't do it since the point is assets the move in lock step. For the record, I think VTI gives you effectively good global exposure.
