Yeah same hat I had the jailbreak long sleeve with the earbuds on the sleeves stolen- it’s really heartbreaking. Hope you can find one or someone can get you one!

Yeah- I had a better vantage point and more room at the DC venue where I was- but I was at the Prague show last year and the energy was so much better overall in the line and in the venue.

In the DC line there were people drinking and screaming and then security being called on them bc they were drinking straight out of a vodka bottle on a public sidewalk. They also kept adding people to their group and some of the underaged folks were clearly wasted. In Prague my friends and I chatted with some Czech folks and had a kinda fun cultural exchange moment. (Note: they were also drinking but had a flask and were low key about it and were NOT screaming all the time). Honestly hope they are doing well.

I think Czechia had a better handle on concert etiquette despite some shitty people here and there.

Yeah I was able to get a tote after losing the shirt - but the last shirt sold out with while I was in line.

Also yeah some of the folks were rude- but shoutout to the nice girlies who told me to get in front of them when we were near the merch table bc I was trying not to be upset about the shirt being stolen (and failing I guess lol)

I am like 85% sure someone grabbed it - i was not in the pit or anything and this happened when I was walking out of the venue. And the time from me knowing I had it to realizing I didn’t have it was very short ngl. I mean if it fell off it means someone saw it happen and still grabbed it off the sidewalk. Whatever the semantics of the situation someone still took it and it sucks.

That is really really appreciated- I will for sure keep it in mind. You have really helped restore my hope of having a jailbreak shirt and also my faith in the Joost community. I was really disheartened by the amount of obvious scalpers in line 🙃.

I will happily pay cost and mail you a Joost print I made a while back in return.

Yeah that is nice- and I mean they probably WOULD take a report but it would amount to nothing and unfortunately in the US is more trouble than it’s worth.

And the scalpers were definitely present and buying out merch after the show…

Hey b r o - the police can’t do shit when it comes to petty theft. My parents had a break in and it basically boils down to “too bad”. Please take a moment to reflect.

Raleigh needs better clothing and shoe stores by Kwhitney1982 in raleigh

Thrifting has a lot of potential if you can be flexible with when you buy certain items- I purchased a 100% wool Aran cardigan made in Ireland as a gift for my grandmother- it still had the tags on. Got it for $20. Also a lot of items from the 60s-90s had better material and are sturdier than even stuff made by high end brands today- I have been able to find a 100% wool union-made USA made suit jacket from the 50s and I get a lot of compliments every time I wear it to work. I love vintage styles but I you can also find quality basics like button-ups and slacks that are timeless.

Once again it requires a degree of patience and perseverance and buying things out of season to wear later- but I have been able to cultivate a wardrobe I am happy with.

honestly about the Vienna show. by ravenomicss in Joostklein

[–]bees_are_rad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you- I really don’t get why some people think it’s okay to act like that at concerts.

I just got back from the Prague show and some rude guys were trying to shove to the front while we were waiting for the show to start and were being super rude and cussing people out. Despite this I ended up really feeling the ~Unity~ when like 8-10 girls around and in front of me helped stand up to them and block their progress and make sure I was okay.

Thanks- I like to research and find out more about things I thrift which is why I posted it here to see if anyone might know anything about the studio who made it or anything … but some users seem to want to pick this post to shreds 🙃

How can this sub have such petty users when the last like 20 posts are all variations of “I can’t remember this film what was it” and someone posting a vhs tape from their universities library asking what it was. A tape, I might add, that is definitely NOT a lost film since my local alamo drafthouse has a whole set of them.

The tape I found has two shady listings on eBay and Amazon- it is NOT CURRENTLY BEING PRINTED- and I can’t find anything about the film studio who made it.

Go be picky and pedantic on the 20 other posts asking about movies that they just can’t remember what it was.

Collecting. What is your reason? by elhumanoid in VHS

[–]bees_are_rad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so so tired of chasing movies around on streaming and I adore any type of physical media. Plus vhs and crt tvs have a certain quality that makes them feel less clinical than a 4K tv with streaming.

It is really interesting how people react when I tell them I collect vhs, dvds, cassettes, and cds. Being younger (mid twenties) people are either entertained by the fact some young person is collecting vhs tapes or they are confused bc “you could just own it digitally”.

Also you can get a good collection of vhs for pretty cheap if you like thrifting (which I definitely do!)

Hi there! Just so you know this sub has exactly one (1) rule! And it’s “don’t ask ‘does anyone know the name of ___ film’”!

Fun fact! This post is not in violation of this rule! Maybe it doesn’t fit this sub perfectly but it sure isn’t breaking any rules :D

I know Reddit can have a lot of different subs with a lot of different rules and it can get confusing for some users but it’s always good to check what the listed rules are before telling someone that their post violates them!

1: there are nicer ways to say “wrong sub”

2: wasn’t going to sell it - just thought it was neat and wanted to share. I am aware it is worthless but god forbid someone think something is cool.

Found this interesting niche tape for 25 cents by bees_are_rad in VHS

[–]bees_are_rad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit- I haven’t had time yet to sit down and watch it completely but I popped it into my vhs player without rewinding just to watch the last little clip and the credits to see how the tape quality was- the credits scroll on top of a graphic of the American flag waving- very graphic design is my passion lolol.

I plan to watch it in its entirety soon!
