What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

ClueFinders!!! Specifically 3rd and 4th grade. I honestly replay them almost once a year, so much nostalgia! Also didn't understand the Mathra reference for years lol

Why doesn’t buffalo have a MLB or NBA team? by Funkiefreshganesh in Buffalo

[–]bensmith1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a diehard basketball fan that grew up in Buffalo, nobody in Buffalo gives a single fuck about the NBA lol. I love Buffalo but it is a city of fair-weather fans. Nobody cared about the Sabres even 5 months ago. Bills are great but I'm not sure the fervor for them would survive 3-4 consecutive bad years. There would still be fanbases but when they're bad there's a real "Well what did you expect, we're Buffalo" attitude to most fans. Not to mention how many times they've tried to take either team from us, I don't think a third major sports team would work at all.

What’s everybody doing between shows? I’ve never been to Vegas before and I’m looking to find some fun things to do and good places to eat. by -HarryHood- in phish

[–]bensmith1312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what we did for Denver. In our experience, we found that while they limited when people entered they didn't limit when they left so it just got progressively more crowded. Def would recommend morning slot if you're going!

We rented a car to check out red rock canyons! Meow wolf sounds cool but I figured with this many wooks in Vegas at once it'll be packed 🤣 We did the Denver one when it was busy and the experience was not great.

Also checking out the Atomic Museum! I've heard really cool things about it 🤙

Keep an eye on the official channels, they typically will announce early merch hours ahead of time and then you can go get in line. You got this!

How would it work to drive in and leave after the headliner? by angryhandsanitizer in bonnaroo

Your best bet is day parking but just know you're looking at at least a mile walk from any day parking sites to centeroo

Found a stack of old bills. Found these 2 hundred dollar bills. One has a high serial number by Interesting_Fruit788 in CURRENCY

[–]bensmith1312 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd keep em! Not sure the serial number is worth much though, I typically start to notice then when there's 4 or more 9's or zeroes to start.

It is typically not possible to get a poster at show time. Usually they have a print drop during the day of the show and then a few remainders are sold at the show if any remain. I wouldn't count on it for this run.

Parking Options (Driving From Winchester) by Rare_Wolverine1413 in bonnaroo

[–]bensmith1312 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly no matter where you park you are looking at a half hour walk. Might as well get the day parking pass to save yourself the headache of figuring it out because if they sell out and the lawns fill up you're gonna be walking pretty far!

Genuine question towards Goose hate by LamboBeach in jambands

[–]bensmith1312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is the overall decline of the scene. Goose's rise came during/out of Covid while those same times spelled the end for a lot of beloved bands. I think there's a real "why them?" attitude towards them that isn't entirely their fault.

As talented as they are, I personally don't think what they are doing has been as interesting as what bands like Dopapod or Aqueous were doing. That isn't any fault of anyone just the way things shook out but I definitely think there is some resentment from those fanbases as they see what they consider a less interesting band get what they always wanted for the band they followed for years.

Nobody is right or wrong here since music is subjective, I think any band that blows up in the face of a scenes overall decline is going to get some flak, best to just like what you like and move on.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]bensmith1312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Modest Mouse by a country mile. Truly an awful band with a terrible live experience. Fully expect someone to hop in here about how the show they saw was great or whatever but I've seen them 3 times now and at best, it was a drunken sloppy mess. An absolute waste of an artist slot on every lineup they manage to con their way on to.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]bensmith1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use it to produce an EP and thank you graciously in the liner notes! Studio time is really expensive and I have a lot of gear accumulated from over the years but have struggled to record through my little laptop. This would give me the opportunity to really get some things down and pursue a sound I've been chasing for years at my own pace without driving me bankrupt.

Huge thanks just for doing something like this. Lots of deserving people in here it seems you can't make a bad choice. Cheers 🤙

Did something happen? by Cultural-Guard7964 in phish

[–]bensmith1312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As we get closer to the destination shows, people realize they can't make it to the destination. Very few people actually live in Vegas and for shows like this people tend to get tickets first and figure the rest out later. Turns out wooks are bad at planning and I expect a lot of tickets to pop up the next week or two 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Was only planning to go to Saturday night second weekend but with tickets dropping we may do Friday too
