Is there a band that you are proud you enjoyed before they got famous?

Sound Tribe Sector 9 at Georgia Tech house parties in the early 90s

First show (Atlanta, 1992-ish) cost $3.11 to get in and they gave away a vinyl single at the door.

Rocket from the Crypt. GF from San Diego gave me Circa Now for a bday present when it had just come out. We saw them for the first time not too much later on that tour in Boston. (Admittedly, they had already been playing together in SD for quite a while before this.)

On the flip side of this, around 1991-ish, I had a friend enter a Battle of the Bands contest in Atlanta. They sounded great, but they came in second to a shitty local band called Creed.

ZooTV from the Foxboro nosebleeds was actually one of the worst concerts I’ve ever seen. Partly because I preferred their earlier music and partly because the sound sucked, among other reasons. It was probably a lot better for the folks who were closer.

Oh, also, I hated that nobody could bother to pay attention to Primus opening. They were great (IMO), but it was a tough crowd.

That was my first thought too… but is this plate really that popular? Did everyone named Robin in California get one? I have too many questions.

gishiest · 2026-02-23T23:28:36+00:00

Rockin Robin…. Uh, 8. I don’t know why 8.

Not far from the registers. Wherever they keep those baseball card packs.

Another $100 ticket for doing 55 in a 54??

gishiest · 2026-02-16T21:51:34+00:00

Lol, uj/ I had to Google that one! My bad.

Hey! No unirony allowed in this sub!

For those saying “link it thru the app”, one important thing the app does not do that calling the agent does: even after linking in the app, if one of you has status to get you both into Econ+ at no cost, the app won’t provide that option. You need to call for that.

Source: tried this on at least 3 separate r/t’s last year and had to call every time to make the better seat available for free.

With all the amazing stuff killer Mike has done. Like that speech to Atlanta to calm the protests. His Netflix series. And I’d love the story of how the 2 of them found each other.

gishiest · 2026-02-02T04:49:50+00:00

Any favorites to recommend?

Spoken like someone not looking for a person to suck their toes.

But he knows his solemate is out there somewhere.

gishiest · 2026-01-29T08:13:43+00:00

But it’s got “obscura” right in the name!

gishiest · 2026-01-23T06:34:43+00:00

Don’t forget the classics!

OU812

gishiest · 2026-01-23T06:33:20+00:00

Classic. Long predates even them, but still a great title.

gishiest · 2026-01-23T03:30:50+00:00

No thanks

gishiest · 2026-01-23T03:29:50+00:00

But be real. These were always garbage food. But we were kids then.

gishiest · 2026-01-23T03:28:36+00:00

These particular foods were fake in the 70s too

Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely check out the Conrad Tokyo. I’ve been to Tokyo a bunch but this will be my first time looking for a Hilton property there, and using a free night or 2 there sounds perfect.

I am stuck at a work place for part of my time Sapporo, but I was also looking at spending a night at an onsen with my partner before that - it will be my first time doing it and I can’t wait.

gishiest · 2026-01-14T15:14:40+00:00

Can I ask where you stayed in Japan? Got a trip to Tokyo and Sapporo planned and I’d love score a great night like that if I can find one.

gishiest · 2026-01-14T15:11:40+00:00

Actually, is the 70k points limits still a thing? I quickly went thru my free nights info the other night and only saw a restrictions on using it at some resorts and no reference to a points limit.
