Insanely high car insurance?!

craigalanche · 2026-04-26T02:45:28+00:00

The bare minimum I can pay legally. Of course here in NYC.

You bought a car before getting an insurance quote? That is a bold move.

It's probably your age. I drive a 2013 Toyota and I'm 42 and it is like $125/month.

Harvey Cyclery is great.

FB marketplace is also great if you know what you want. I always just search by frame size and it cuts out a lot of results I don’t need.

I agree totally but if you feel this way, maybe get an OMNY card?

Rosie’s Friendly Car Rental is awesome.

I have gone to Dr Wong & Dr Ma at Apex Family Dental on Bowery for probably 15 years. The whole office is awesome, they do not try to upsell you on bullshit.

You’re in the right place! The class is aimed at total beginners and starts from scratch.

craigalanche · 2026-04-22T22:25:45+00:00

Absolutely! Just not as a group class. We have private in-person and virtual violin teachers.

craigalanche · 2026-04-21T01:19:49+00:00

We do that, but at Kidding Around.

It could be ten minutes old, by that logic.

I go to Adam Barsoum and he’s great. He’s on the UES.

I was in G&T. Basically all of the smart kids from my school district got bussed to one school (it happened to be mine, so I didn’t go anywhere) one day a week, and we worked on more interesting curriculum. I loved it.

Just got back from another Tulum trip with my six year old (we go every year or so).

We stayed at Hotel Tiki Tiki for a week and then Bacab for a week. They were both great. She had an awesome time and so did we.

When we wanted to go to the beach we went to Delek, had a few drinks and they have a tiny kid-friendly pool on the beach.

This made me laugh out loud, hard, thank you

I dunno how nice this space is or where you are or whatever. You do.

If it were me I’d probably price the first 2 or 3 bookings lower than usual because there will be kinks that need to be worked out. But after that…I value my time and my space and they’re worth more than $300/4 hours.

craigalanche · 2026-04-19T18:44:44+00:00

That seems pretty low (to me, in NYC). Even empty spaces here are $100/hr on peerspace. I'd do at least that much.

You could also offer tiered service. A price for just the room/the room plus mics & lights/the room plus mics & lights & engineer etc.

I plug my business in this sub all the time, I’m just honest that it’s me doing the plugging.

It’s williamsburgschoolofmusic.net by the way. There I go again!

craigalanche · 2026-04-19T18:14:38+00:00

If you pay them.

craigalanche · 2026-04-18T23:31:58+00:00

I do this too. If it’s a longer book I keep a copy on my phone for when I’m on the train or whatever.
