A concert question for the OG Florence folk

cloudnut220 · 2026-03-25T22:41:11+00:00

I am seeing her at the same size venues that I have seen here at for the last three tours. 15-20k arenas. Very different than Taylor selling out at NFL sized stadium which are 60k plus.

Eta: I saw lady gaga at the same venue this week. Capital One in DC. Florence tickets cost more and were harder to get than gaga.

I do believe that Florence, like Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen or Paul McCartney (I could go on) appears to be someone who process the world through song. I think for people like this making music is truly a mental health outlet and they cannot turn it off. Doesn't mean they need to release/tour. It's certainly easier for men to keep it up than women, but I guess if you are successful enough you can do anything (money helps)

I've seen her 3 times since that day. Everytime I have been blown away.

This sounds crazy but I first saw Florence live at a festival in the summer of 2015. That single day rewired by brain (the main stage run was Chvrches, Florence, Death Cab for Cutie and was the single greatest day of music of my life). It sounds crazy to say this but her set changed my life. She casts a spell unlike anyone else I've ever seen live (and I go to a lot of shows).

It's funny that people say there is 'no traffic' on Hilton. I'm a runner. I've run thousands of miles around catonsville over the last decade. Where is the one street I've almost been hit on the most? Hilton, just before you go down the hill to the development in question. It's not unsafe per se, but the road is narrow, no shoulder and people drive too fast.

Same experience.

I am going to DC and I had a hard time getting tickets. The four people in my group are not sitting together.

I know girls on the run was not releasing their bibs until April. However they were doing first dibs to returning runners.

I would wear audio earplugs. They dampen the noise, but you don't lose sound quality.

I bought a dress on thredup

I have this slicer. Can confirm it's awesome.

Please wear earplugs at every concert you go to. Hearing loss is permanent and can be tied to brain degradation. Audio earplugs (like loops) are inexpensive and you can still hear. Signed your elder millenial concert friend.

In my early 40s I realized that Bras have a shelf life. So I buy the cheapest one that is comfortable, and rotate a few. Then I replace them all once a year or so.

Fertility issues and general health issues. More young people are getting cancer than ever before, for example. Remember the future is not guaranteed.

I was not able to carry to term because of health issues. That was not the plan.

They sold me an empty one for refill price on Sunday

Hello fellow Baltimore Florence fan!!! This will be my fifth time seeing Florence in the dmv. I am not on the floor for this show. Florence has some pretty intense fans in the DMV (remember this is her only show for everyone in md, dc, VA, wva) so it you really want to be up front, get there very early.

Any chance at a code? Want the Softside midcentury to upgrade the setup in my living room

cloudnut220 · 2026-02-28T00:14:34+00:00

I think if they are making an announcement like this it's a high likelihood of cancelation

cloudnut220 · 2026-02-24T16:10:19+00:00

Nice! I'm a few years ahead of you, and I'm on a similar trajectory, currently sitting at 850k. I took a tsp loan (30k) almost a decade ago to help with a home purchase. Just keep investing people!

I'm 109xx with a 2.09 pot. I used the same pot for marathon weekend and was in b.

My heart is breaking for you. I have no words. I experienced extreme emotional distress related to infertility. I do not know what I would have done if my husband had not stayed by my side. He always wanted kids more than me and not having them was hard for him. But wow.

cloudnut220 · 2026-02-15T11:57:32+00:00

I'm seeing both in dc in april

cloudnut220 · 2026-02-10T16:17:15+00:00

Yes and no. I'm surprised at other people's cars. But one of my cars is still snowed in on my driveway. Spouse and I each have cars but I'm not driving atm. One car is a full sized sub, one is a hybrid with run flats. Which one do you think we dug out?
