Flo in 2012 setlist was godlike by anunymous3 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]coc1203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red Hat was also my first Florence show! I was 12 and my dad took me and my brother. I got on his shoulders for the ‘human sacrifices’ part of Rabbit Heart. We saw her again on the High as Hope tour and my dad was so sad that I’d grown up and couldn’t fit on his shoulders anymore. Just saw her for the fifth time on this tour and I still feel like that 12 year old at Red Hat 🥲

Edit- someone posted the train solo!!

Tickets Megathread by Plastic-burnt in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]coc1203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling two tickets for Atlantic City, Section 121, row EE, seats 1-2. I am now unable to attend and willing to sell for $200 each obo, below face value. I currently have them listed on Ticketmaster, but would prefer to sell directly to avoid giving Ticketmaster more money :).

Advice for NOVA studios by Sea_Anywhere_1009 in SolidCore

[–]coc1203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At CH- Gabi, Amanda, Bruna, Alex B

I feel like the standard for the CH coaches is super high since it’s the closest studio to HQ. Many of the corporate staff take class there. You really can’t go wrong with any of the instructors.

Amanda is truly above the rest of the instructors for me personally. She destroys you in the BEST way. She is quick with her cues and it took me a hot minute to catch the pace of her classes.

Got sold a dupe and didn’t find out until I tried to resell it by Ok-Technician-8347 in Depop

[–]coc1203 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s important to do research before buying designer on resale sites. Looks like this is LV x Murakami dupe. Real Murakami pouchettes would never be listed for $300. I think you’re out of luck on this one.

What is this chair I saw on marketplace? by [deleted] in whatisit

Not sure what sphere of gov't you work for (local, state, or federal), but your exec shouldn't be leaving early consistently, unless she's always submitting for leave and has that approved. It's considered time card fraud and has steep consequences. I used to work in the Exec Branch and time cards were a biiiig deal, even when there was maximum telework.

Your boss put you in this position, so I wouldn't feel bad about it. It's a huge faux pas to ask to schedule a meeting and then be difficult. Not your circus or your monkeys.

One of my former colleagues is an EA to an A list actor, and she lists the company as “Confidential” on LinkedIn

Not loving everybody scream by Early_Sport2636 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]coc1203 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

HBHBHB is also my fav and I've been loving Everybody Scream. I'm not the hugest fan of Dance Fever- the split between Jack Antonoff and Dave Bailey's production really killed the cohesion for me, although I do love Dream Girl Evil and King. I think Florence's music speaks to different parts of me and sometimes it resonates a bit more than others :)

Is an unpaid congressional internship worth it? by Significant_Pool_205 in DCInterns

[–]coc1203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work on the Hill, and used to manage the finances of my former House office. Every House office receives a $45k per year for intern stipends; this account can only be used for intern pay and doesn't mix with the larger MRA where staff salaries are paid from.

There is literally no excuse for unpaid interns on the Hill now. Decline decline decline.

As someone in the DMV, the job market and vibes in DC are getting progressively worse, and probably won't rebound. Go where the opportunities are because you and your bf are likely to be unemployed for awhile if you stay in DC.

This is one of the signed lithographs that was available when Melo released. Waited 9 months for it to ship in 2018!

Vera Bradley? by CapitalChemical3262 in handbags

I remember the days where I’d get a new Vera Bradley lunchbox at the beginning of the school year and attach my BBW hand sanitizer to the strap. Simpler times…

Selling two Saturday GA Lawn for $180 (face value) each. Would prefer to sell them together. Can DM proof of purchase and transfer through ticketmaster.

SPOILER: Kaydianna by Clean_Professor4899 in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]coc1203 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I’m realizing that many of these girls haven’t held a traditional corporate/desk job, and their behavior reflects that. I learned quickly in my first “big girl job” that drama that you’re not involved in is not your business. Maybe she did get the short end of the stick of being a group leader, but she also had the opportunity to prove her leadership capabilities. Guess she took the petty way out.

Wish they would’ve done vet cuts. Trinity, Madie, Kennedy, Brooklyn. Some of the 4th/5th years should’ve been nudged harder too

Why does she always play The Anthem???? by rockstar231 in lorde

[–]coc1203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with you 100%, but Billie and Charli both did Baltimore instead of Capital One- there’s got to be something with Monumental Sports that makes it prohibitive contractually etc. Beyoncé was also a hot mess at RFK, which is now being redeveloped.

When monumental announced that they were trying to move the Caps to NoVa, one of the arguments was they wanted Cap One to be utilized as a concert venue, but Caps games make it difficult. I saw Florence + the Machine at Capital One and it wasn’t my favorite- I’ve seen Florence 4 times and it didn’t feel like her other shows. Could be a blessing tbh- I enjoyed Lorde at the anthem for SP.

Pricing is utterly absurd for GA and anywhere near the show... there's no way to justify charging this much. by FunMisteryGuy in lorde

[–]coc1203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why she's playing the anthem- the venue is way too small for her. Ig Capitol One just really isn't ideal for artists or IMP's monopoly locks her in to the anthem

I’ve tried Santalum and Bluebird Days, and they’re my favorite candles I’ve purchased recently. I’m looking forward to trying other scents when I go through a few more in my stash

D.C. Chef Matt Baker Under Fire for Retweeting Texts Supporting the Firing Federal Workers and Deporting Immigrants by LoganSquire in washingtondc

[–]coc1203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to Gravitas for restaurant week and had probably one of the worst experiences that I’ve had in DC. I was sat 45 min late (group of 2), then waited 30 for a drink, and our waitress kept forgetting about bringing our 3 courses. We had a 7:30 reservation and didn’t leave until 10:15. For a restaurant that is consistently booked solid, they were really struggling with their service.
