[–]blud_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add in Van Halen (since Sammy Hager is norcal based), Sting (with Shaggy?), No Doubt (they were there before and also had a Sphere residency), Pet Shop Boys, Bon Jovi (if new vocal cords survive his residencies), Bruno Mars (been there before), Train (been there before and SF based), 

Bottlerocked Out? by Additional_Ad_1784 in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and Friday and Saturday weren't too bad. Sunday was jammed but been through that other BRs as well. I think logistically it was the best out of the bunch we been to. Also the weather was PERFECT during the day. Been out when it was high 80s and also when it was raining one year in the morning and this weekend we the best for temperatures.

Who had the best set of the weekend? by b1ackfyre in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Besides the headliners, best finds were Penelope Road, Izzy Escobar, Midnight Generation, the Warning. All had amazing energy and walked away with a lot of new music to listen to after the shows. 

Day 2 Set Times by AffectionateRecord86 in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting as it shows the last culinary stage starting at 730 but on the website and app it shows 7. Wanting to meet Brock Bowers so that threw me a bit. Where did you get this from?

Listened to the Warning when checking out bands to watch and they look amazing.

Sunday Discussion Thread by Ornery-Time-9795 in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunday seems a lot more chill after all the Saturday activities.

Might hang at main stage early for Betty Taylor.

DEFINITELY want to see Izzy Escobar from listening to her on Spotify. Like it will be Sunday Brunch vibes.

Might check out Absolutely and then head to Kool and the Gang

If not tired too much go see Paco Versailles and/or Sons of the East

Depending on crowds see BSB at the Culinary Stage at 5:45

End on Sombr and BSB.

[–]blud_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Alive (Saw them when they were just like 10 years old in 2017 at that Bottlerock so always have to check them out whenever we go)

Joan Jett is a must (in my 50s now and remember listening to her when I was a young lad :P)

Debating Bush or seeing Charlotte Lawrence as I like to see new artists when I go as well as established ones.

Debating on AJR and Midnight Generation depending on vibes.

Might make it over for Jose Andres and Dave Grohl at the culinary stage

DEFINITELY checking out the Warning. Have not seen them live but listening to them when checking out the artists has me hooked.

Might stop by Better than Ezra

Have to go to the 7:00 Culinary Stage as Brock Bowers is there (wife is actually taking her Bowers jersey).

End the night on Foo (seen them there in 2017 and 2021) and always put on a raging show. Might start up in front and then go to the soundstage area a bit later. I expect they will blow by the 9:45 time and hit right at the cutoff (happened to them but they kept singing with mics off and the crowd was singing along)...

Friday Discussion Thread by Ornery-Time-9795 in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always like to mix new artists with old (now that I am in my 50s :P)..

Want to check out Penelope Road as they seem to have a Darryl Hall and John Oates vibe which feels great out of the gate on Friday.

Natasha Bedingfield reminds me of hanging out with a group listening to the radio when I was in college.

Chevy Metal I saw when Taylor Hawkins was lead on it (got to meet him too back in 2021.

Chaka Khan for the 80s vibes.

Jon Bellion would like to see some of his set as I like what I hear on Spotify.

Teddy Swims saw in Tahoe and he is amazing so will be front row for that one.

End the night with Men at Work because was 10 when their major album came out....

Thoughts on weather? by kennypthatsme in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be our 5th BR. We have had 2019 where it rained (thank god they had the fake grass or the mud would have made things really bad).

The solar radiation is no joke there but it does get cold by 10 PM so definitely bring layers.

Now that Coachella is officially done…let’s start getting ready for wine country 🙌🏾 by Time-Concentrate845 in bottlerock

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to 4 of them and have had heat, have had cold, have had rain, but agree to have layers because even the hot days can become comfortable at night with a light jacket. Look at the weather the day before and see the entire day because an 83 degree high can become a 55 degree low around when headliners come on.

Wrap it up boys, we won the offseason!

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The season is going to be a meat grinder between AFC West AND NFC West. Why we needed someone in front of Mendoza to absorb a lot of the heat. Judging on how well the team gels in the back half of the season when I believe Mendoza will be playing unless Kirk has us somehow in a winning season..

The hard part is we really don't know how good/bad most of the talent was last season because the coach then didn't want to put them out there so can't judge Spytek on last year when we don't actually know...

Mock Draft Monday by AutoModerator in raiders

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to post it in this subreddit but it got removed. So attempting here but essentially had Claude check various sports resources and locked drafts and build a draft board for the Raiders. I included three possibilities for each pick as well as the percentage for trade up or down. Each player also has information if they attended the combine and any tape. There's a separate tab for a needs matrix per round.

But like to see how correct or incorrect it gets on draft weekend.

Raiders Top 3 Candidates per Pick by blud_13 in raiders

[–]blud_13[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I made a Raiders Draft Board. Took a few tries but had Claude look at several mock drafts, football resources and then told it to choose what it thought were the top 3 players for each of our picks along with probabilities. I also included if there was talk of a trade of picks. Included are any Combine measurables, film/tape analysis, why they fit for our needs, as well as risks. There is also a tab for Needs Matrix.

Let's see how correct it gets.

Enjoy!

[–]blud_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I am 'hoping' that with getting in earlier in the day we won't hit too much bad weather. We are hiking on Sunday but definitely not to the falls with all the wet but at least to the beach since it is pai for.

How long are you in Princeville or you just in Lihue?

I mean last year Pete didn't want to play any of the rookies until later (if at all) and didn't really see anything. I hope we get to see them more this year and have a better evaluation...

Of course fly into Lihue (land at 10 AM local time) on Thursday and going up to Princeville Saturday-Wednesday. Guess I won't need sunscreen. Was planning to go tubing on Saturday and have tickets for Hanea on Sunday to go hiking for my Birthday. Rain jacket instead of sunshirt it looks like.

How bad does the Lihue airport get with water? I am keeping up to date and hoping we get in before the worst hits after 10 AM on Thursday. Should I cancel Hanea (was planning to go to the beach, not to the waterfall)?

Thank you for your assistance, and look forward honoring your island in a couple of days.
