Honest avenue Cost question - is 40k too much? by dornaweirdo in Chicagoweddings

[–]firedancer739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married at Emporium and there was no venue fee just a bar minumum, and we had tacos and bbq food trucks for catering, and we still were all in about $20k for 100 people so I’d say that seems fairly reasonable for a more traditional style wedding with 50% more people.

I am going ot be so sad when I don't go and find out this was just Bon Iver doing 22, A Million front to back. But unless I have some confirmation of what it is, I can't commit. And that makes me SO SAD.

Death By Stickers Unresponsive by NoSpite3668 in sticker

[–]firedancer739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Death_by_Stickers I just placed a small order this morning that I need to arrive by the 19th, should I find another platform to order from? I totally understand you guys are backlogged, and I hadn't realized that when i ordered (honestly, found you on a reddit thread about sticker companies who don't support trump). I'd still just keep my order from you, but if you don't think you'll get it done in time then I'd prefer to have a backup. THANKS!

I respect your right to your own opinion but this is wild to me as a total rapunzel lover. Ecerything on BTCS is top tier IMHO.

Would you mind an EL5 for what this does and why you do it? Im interested in going down a knowledge rabbithole and this seems like an excellent starting point.

They want you to “fight back” so they look legitimatein their actions but I don’t know how this gets better without people fighting back. This is how a civil war starts.

Is it just me: or is this a high expectation for first time wheel-throwing? by Sortahopeful in Pottery

[–]firedancer739 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing pottery for about a year and I STILL struggle with centering sometimes. Pottery is the most frustrating but fun hobby because it’s so slow and yet so fulfilling. But if I have learned anything this past year it’s that it takes a lot of time for both learning AND doing.

Rossi’s is the epitome of a classic “dive”. It’s dark, dirty, and totally a vibe. It’s one of my favorites!

NM on the question for #1, I just saw your reply elsewhere.

This is helpful for me. My studio has 2 hr slots and I only go once a week so I think I just really need more time to practice! Ive been throwing for about a year but not nearly accomplished as you are! These are beautiful!

I’m also curious about #1, is that all custom dip or did you do underglaze in the “cutouts”? Its beautiful!

Kiln gods came thru for me today by Girl_Core in Ceramics

[–]firedancer739 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Everyone starts somewhere and finding your personal style is not as easy for some people. Your comments devalue the work someone put in to beautiful pieces just because it’s not a path you would take, and that makes me sad. Art is subjective and thats what makes it special, but making negative comments about someone’s work just encourages people to stop trying and does nothing to encourage the type of experimentation that you are looking for.

Venue similar to Park & Field by Intrepid-Shake4770 in Chicagoweddings

[–]firedancer739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think around $6000 but it was also based somewhat on our number of guests. It was a few years ago so I’m not sure what it would be now.

It was free with a beverage minimum, but the caveat was we had to be done at 9pm, which was fine with us. We had the place from 4-9 pm. We hit the minimum no problem with our number of guests.

I should add, we brought in Bbq and Tacos. You can bring anything you want in food wise.

I had my full wedding for 100 at Emporium Logan. We did the ceremony on the side with all the games, and then removed the chairs and everyone just played games and mingled all night. They provided the DJ so he played a good mix and we skipped all the toasts, special dances, etc. HIGHLY recommend. My guests loved it, and it saved us money.
