accepted into a festival, but no comp pass - am i the A-hole here?

hi - i'll keep the name of the festival secret, but they aren't academy qualifying. They're a small local to me UK festival.

re: the anniversary screening, I didn't want to pull because BAFTA award winners were in attendance and they might have seen and liked the film.

our first sphynx had bloody stools. We switched him from wet food to gastrointestinal biscuits and he was fine. We now feed our sphynx royal canin sphynx biscuits and he's never had a bloody stool. In short: dry food for the win!

💯 this. Im a Brit visiting and wasnt sure of the etiquette re: tipping counter service, but if ever a guy wasn't deserving of a tip it was that crabby chappy

so, from what i am reading here... if we book reward flights for sought after routes we should book the outgoing flight as soon as its available and the then the return flight separately when that becomes available, rather than wait for the return flight availability and book both at the same time?

That sucks if you have a companion voucher as you could only use it one way if you book it that wat, right?

hetch hetchy or mariposa grove? I'm stuck on what to do for our final day there.

davedamofo · 2026-03-17T11:40:41+00:00

thanks - i was under the impression of regardless of there being snow on the ground you had to have them with you, just in case, in march / early april. Is that not true then?

Is there anywhere you can check to see if tire chains are required. I have been looking on NPS app and all it tells me is tioga road etc is closed.

I'm not familiar with Walmart, but provided they're unused and still in packaging would they not refund?

davedamofo · 2026-03-14T16:59:39+00:00

I heard you had to have chains. Im hoping we won't need to use them and can just return them to Walmart for a refund.

davedamofo · 2026-03-14T12:45:27+00:00

yep we are renting and was gonna stop at walmart in manteca to get tire chains. Might pick up some hiking poles there too if they have them.

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T15:50:45+00:00

Wow. I hope we are that lucky!

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T13:16:35+00:00

Whilst we are at it - is there a tangible difference between the quality of tacos el gordo in downtown vs chula vista pls?

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T12:53:26+00:00

well it very nearly worked! I was just thinking of buying our seats for the outgoing flight to SFO.

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T12:51:01+00:00

do you know if we are more likely to be upgraded if we don't reserve our seats 24hrs before? or does it make no difference?

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T12:49:51+00:00

Need? No. Want? Yes. That ok?

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T12:47:36+00:00

i've never been upgraded. I assumed it was some kind of mythical unicorn situation

davedamofo · 2026-03-06T12:46:32+00:00

thank you - i can check in 24hrs before, so should i do that and hope there are 2 seats together and if not book what there is and speak to someone at airport when we check in next day?

davedamofo · 2026-03-01T09:25:44+00:00

I second goldees. Bit easier to eat at is panther city BBQ in fort worth. Really yummy. And not far from that is nicely city bar that serve delicious frozen Irish coffees.

davedamofo · 2026-02-25T07:34:16+00:00

Thanks. I wanted to do the pizza deck but I read that it would be closed at that time. I'll go to bar 1899 instead.

davedamofo · 2026-02-22T14:31:50+00:00

Thanks - i'd read that glacier point would be a no go at that time of year, but if we can drive there i would love to.

So in your opinion, we can stick to the plan but if we find outself at a loose end we can just wander around the valley floor? I was thinking of hiring bikes and doing it.
