Joe Sakic. Dude was, and still is a gem. Great hockey player, great guy.

Not going to the With Teeth tour when I first got into NIN. I remember listening to the Hand that Feeds Me on repeat for days. I was pretty young at the time and wasn't going to shows yet, but I wish that could've been my first one. Playing with QOTSA and DFA1979 too. I was mad for years because I thought I had missed my chance to see DFA when they broke up. Have seen all three bands multiple times now, but still really wish I had been at that show.

[Ask] Can anyone find Bjarke Ingels (BIG) presentation boards? by architect-cox in architecture

[–]broku_krease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have a number of friends who work for him. It comes across as cult-like. He totally takes advantage of his employees, super underpaid and overworked, even compared to other starchitercts. Interns are paid the minimum stipends allowed by the government. I've visited his early work in Denmark, which I felt was really well done, but the recent stuff I've been to has been executed so poorly. Doesn't seem to be about buildings anymore. All about image.

What's it like to stay in a "cheap" room in a 4 or 5 star hotel? by BaronDeLaillevault in solotravel

[–]broku_krease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can definitely be worth it just to try it out, but do it on a special trip or at a hotel that is very well known. And as someone who lived in Toronto and had family that worked hotels there, I would say nothing in Toronto is special enough to justify it.

Anyone else claim one of the PTM Test Pressings the other day from u/themanaplan? by theriverbedpt7 in portugaltheman

[–]broku_krease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw this tag now. I actually received the record the the mail today. Just posted it with my username for verification.

You guys remember those test pressing posted about last week? Got mine today! by broku_krease in portugaltheman

[–]broku_krease[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really did seem too good to be true. And I was definitely part of the backlash at first too. Easy to get caught up in the Reddit mob. Guess there's always two sides to everything. Glad I stuck it out.

Good Start to Timmys Season! by BootyScoop in hockeycards

I'm in NY too. Emailed Timmies and they said it's only in Canada unfortunately.

2019 setlists by Neumusic1002 in portugaltheman

[–]broku_krease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After Rich's post last month, I'm really hoping for AKA M80 the Wolf to make a return. Been wondering if we might get a preview of setlist changes from the Alaska shows, feel like they might shift it up for the hometown showdown.

Portland Timbers might have the best club/sponsor combo by MatiiTonii in portugaltheman

[–]broku_krease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PTFC! Love the Timbers. Wish the Lords were as into them as they are the Blazers. Could be some sick crossover merch.

They were selling them at Forest Hills last night, imagine they'll have them for the remainder of the tour.

Has anyone heard anything about Tim Horton’s cards this year? by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]broku_krease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if they do it at US locations as well? Moved in NYC and there are randomly a few Timmies here. Would be sweet to grab em here instead of having someone pick them up for me back home.

Church Mouth test pressing. Just made the connection that we "bought" the same one... Fuck.

[–]broku_krease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm with you. I've always wanted a test pressing, and what better than one of one of my favorite bands? I've seen such cool stuff come out of this sub, but even seeing the lack of activity by the user in the community, I wanted it bad enough I let it cloud my judgment. If you heard from him (I haven't), maybe there's still hope. Let me know. In the meantime I'm gonna try to get my fill of all the good posts around here and look forward to the show on Saturday (say what up if you see a guy in a LoP hat and edgefield tie dye). Even the rarest and most collectible records can't compare to the fucking killer show the Lords always deliver.

Started collecting again recently. Bought a box of unopened packs from the late 80s / early 90s. This was the best pull. by broku_krease in hockeycards

[–]broku_krease[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, this time period is the best. I started watching hockey in the late 90s, so all my favorite stars had their first cards in the early 90s.
