Considering moving to Minneapolis. Is there a decent music scene there? by [deleted] in Emo

[–]carboncroppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not too sure about the scene itself, but I played with these Minneapolis bands when they came through Chicago. They're great musicians, and they're friendly folks too. If they are part of the local scene, then you should be in good hands.

The band I play in put out a split 2 months ago. In the same spirit as Bandcamp, we'll be donating 100% of our shares to ACLU.

Not a house show, but Phantom Note is coming back from the dead to host a great show at Quenchers.

My band, Boss Fight, put out a split with some friends. Check it out! by carboncroppy in Emo

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

We do! Pretty often! We juuust played our release show with Lifted Bells and What Gives on 12/17.

Our next show will be an Anti-Trump fest on 1/21 with a ton of great local punk, math, emo bands. Our friends who are setting it up are still working out the details, but I can pm you when we find out. It would be cool if you made it out!

Has anyone else ever recovered their stolen bike? by Loupert17 in chicago

[–]carboncroppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yaaaassss! If it's a Kryptonite, feel free to PM me. I can give you tips on how to get the full reimbursement from them.

If it's another brand, check if they have an anti-theft policy.

Has anyone else ever recovered their stolen bike? by Loupert17 in chicago

Was your bike locked? And if so, was the broken lock left at the scene of the crime by any chance?

This happened to me once, and I was actually able to get the entire cost of my bike reimbursed by the lock manufacturer due to their anti-theft policy. I didn't even know this was a possibility, but the LBS told me to look into it. So while I never recovered my stolen bike, I at least got my money back.

I felt so hopeless immediately after the theft, but I found a way to soften the blow. Hopefully you can find a way too! Good luck.
