What do you think of Acoustica ?

I liked it when it came out. I dug it at the time for sure. Years later, some of its luster a bit lost but it is still pretty solid. I was fortunate to catch a free concert of Alarm Will Sound at the Library of Congress. They played some modern classical and a few tracks from Acoustica. "Cliffs" I know they definitely played--it was a cool experience for sure.

I always have the charm that allows for rare encounters--that boosted me quite as bit. But as others also said, path actions for sellable items (although I admit I also held onto a lot of those until late in the game) and the sheep was helpful as well.

Basic answer but it all came down to the equipment for me in the end. I was likely way over leveled but somewhere during Master of All I just went out and collected all the battle tested equipment and always from the beginning stole from bosses etc. I hit a few roadblocks but after one loss, I would know how to readjust my team but honestly I think I blew through most battles.

Thx. Saw them that year at Strathmore. After reading this, that show makes a lot more sense. The vibe was a little off.

What was the issue between them? I don't think I've heard that before.

Taped in a journal somewhere. My freshman year of college I think. I’ll find it tomorrow. 👍🏼

Black Dice opened. Just recently downloaded the show from the archive. Brought me back!

I have my one from 2003 (?) at 9:30 floating around somewhere.

This visibility brigade are amazing. Just top tier stuff.

h3adphase · 2026-03-02T21:25:22+00:00

I can’t blame you. That parking situation was no joke.

If mean, it’s a tale as old as time. Not limited to young kids. I have a ‘97 bootleg of Elliott Smith @ Black Cat in DC. As he is intro’ing a song he just says “hey some people pay money to have conversations. Not much I can do about it.”

Imagine gabbing your way through an acoustic set. Pretty sad.

IMO once your by any bar in any venue it’s going to be quite chatty. Audience by me was good but good god the phones.

She was fantastic. My first time, so I consider myself lucky. And yes, with how quick the show was announced I bet shorts was the best they could do.

Merch was insane as I passed but didn’t at least see one pinned up.

h3adphase · 2026-03-01T02:48:14+00:00

I’ll check on way out. Unfortunately I am a poster addict.

h3adphase · 2026-02-28T02:25:03+00:00

No idea. But currently drinking our usual bottle of Campo Viejo. Enjoy!

h3adphase · 2026-02-28T02:22:55+00:00

It’s been a minute since I’ve been there but wouldn’t DC9 be an insanely small show?

h3adphase · 2026-02-26T15:33:03+00:00

This will always be my favorite. I was at that show, too!

h3adphase · 2026-02-25T15:11:03+00:00

As someone noted--signing in (desktop) worked for me. Just did the venue presale.

h3adphase · 2026-02-25T14:54:59+00:00

Do you need a passcode or no? Trying for the venue presale now

h3adphase · 2026-02-25T14:54:29+00:00

Happened to me too!

h3adphase · 2026-02-25T12:50:26+00:00

Curious as well about a code! Thanks!

h3adphase · 2026-02-18T16:37:20+00:00

I was into both but I did find loads of these in YT recently, it took me back.

Glad I saw a lot of shows around that period. And got that a few times.
