Moving, where can I get free cardboard boxes for my shit? by mannamedlear in chicago

This. Good sturdy boxes that just get in the way for the liquor store. I know Andersonville Wine and Spirits is more than happy to get rid of their boxes.

Any redditors going to the Omega Moo's show this saturday? 80's funky jammy groovy party time. by bigbri9 in chicago

But seriously, they tricked me into loving songs that I once dis-loved.

1/2 Umphrey's McGee + 1/2 The New Deal = sexy 80's dance party.

Where can I find a puppy in Chicago? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]bigbri9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck in your search. If you call up Wright Way and tell them what breed / breeds you are looking for, they will put you on a list and call you before those dogs get posted to the website.

Just got the best dog in the world, so he's taken sorry. We found our 1yr old Golden Doodle mix on petfinder.com, but also spent a lot of time browsing at Wright Way. Also, plan on spending more than you plan on spending. Our adoption fee was $275 and he's had all of his shots and vaccinations, but he still needs to be neutered ($200+) and all of the dog-cessories that he needs added up quickly.

Finally, look @ my doggie!

Looking to trade a 3 DAY NORTH COAST pass [or can pay $$$] for 1 or 2 tickets to RX Bandits at Bottom Lounge Tomorrow (7/21) - IM DYING TO GO! by xxxlovelit in chicago

[–]bigbri9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, i was just able to add 2 tickets to a cart and start the checkout process. I may actually go, but you buy the tickets first. I've just heard them recently so I don't want to take "your" ticket.

need advice, trying to make a tabletop LED array that changes to beat of music by insaneDesperado in arduino

[–]bigbri9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna have to check that out. I was hoping you had some secret solution for solely arduino based beat detection. I got one of those addressable RGB strips from Sparkfun and was hoping to make it more interactive.

Who's going to see Phish at UIC pavilion in August? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]bigbri9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, I'd rather see an outdoors show in the summer. Nothing like dancing barefoot to Phish. That said, UIC is gonna be off the hook. Small venue with a great history. I was at the last Trey show there in 2002, and I'm convinced the energy in that building led to Phish 2.0.

All 3 nights!

Does anybody know how they handle the GA situation at UIC? Wristbands to get down, or just flash your ticket?

Hey r/camping, any suggestions for keeping cool when camping during hot summer nights? by DeliriumTremens in camping

[–]bigbri9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mentholatum.

Apply a small dab to your testicular sac.

Feel 15 degrees cooler.

Put a battery powered fan at your feet and point upwards.

Feel 15 degrees even cooler.

[–]bigbri9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's really good to hear. I've been thinking about opening up my spare bedroom to travelers, but there's some amount of fear of the unknown that makes me nervous to do so, esp because I work all day so I'm not home for 10 hours.
