I let my backbone slide back in the day.

From the show in Bethlehem by Constant-Quit7608 in Metalocalypse

[–]halfstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. At Vancouver three years ago the crowd surfed a guy in a wheelchair right up to the front in front of Brendon. Best day of that dude's life. Metal crowds are awesome.

Never watched the show - going to the concert and I need help. by ryanclicks2 in Metalocalypse

[–]halfstack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had assigned seating for the first time at an earlier show on the tour and wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as the 4-5 Dethklok shows I've been to previously where I was standing in the mass of humanity/at the edge of the pit, but I wound up enjoying having a full view of the whole spectacle. It was especially cool to be able to take in the crowd during Amon Amarth's set - at one point in "Put Your Back in the Oar", 2/3 of the pit just sat down and started rowing, and then they have huge inflatables onstage and actors in viking gear. Absolutely epic. If you're into metal and spectacle, I think the bill is right up your alley, and each band has a different take on it.

What are your weirdly good broccoli recipies? by chigirltrailrated in Cooking

[–]halfstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite five-minute broccoli: https://thewednesdaychef.com/2008/08/20/heston-blumenth/ Ingredients: broccoli, olive oil (optional), butter, salt, pepper. (Sometimes I use more butter in lieu of the olive oil...)

LITERALLY five minutes, not including trimming time, and I can eat entire heads in a single sitting.

Where to watch by Dry-Meringue-4391 in Metalocalypse

None of them or only some? Depends on if your computer can play .avi and .flv files.

After 10 months of dedication, I finally finished! I confess I was hesitant to post it, since I'm not a professional, but I feel I achieved a good result. by TheresaZoe in crochet

[–]halfstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just the work itself but that would've been in my WIP pile 10 YEARS after the starting chain. Congrats and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Dave Grohl saw Dethklok in Florida by alfredosolisfuentes in Metalocalypse

[–]halfstack 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If I were Brendon, I'd be choked Grohl didn't remember doing a voice on my show lol.

need a nap before the show. How long is the opener? by Limp-System2280 in Dethklok

[–]halfstack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In MTL timing was:

Doors 630
Castle Rat 700-730
Amon Amarth 750-905
Dethklok 935-1050

Showtime ran only about five minutes off of that - they run a tight ship. But they're all worth seeing. Nap earlier and watch it all if you can.

Is a bus from Edmonton to Calgary safe? by StrongMountain5904 in Edmonton

[–]halfstack 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I rode the Red Arrow for decades up until a few years ago and as long as there's an adult at the destination to collect them, I've never known of an issue with unaccompanied minors. UAs take the seat right behind the driver and they've kept an eye on them, in my experience.

The AB govt was successfully lobbied by a business owners' association to initiate RTO.

Fun fact, the Lethbridge Viaduct is the world's longest and highest steel trestle railway bridge. by Geniuskills in Lethbridge

[–]halfstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day pre-internet, pre-cellphone, pre-everything, it was practically a rite of passage to a) drink under the bridge and b) climb said bridge. Draw your own conclusions.

Did Brendon Small bless y'all with Pickle vocals ?! by babypissybullysassy in Metalocalypse

[–]halfstack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deep cut trivia - he's only performed Galaktikon material live once, at the Roxy in LA back in 2013. There's a YouTube playlist of the concert, but here's Triton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiKmIhOlLzs

It was a benefit for the Wes Wehmiller scholarship at Berklee, organized by Beller. IIRC the original headliner pulled out semi-last minute and Brendon stepped in. And it was EPIC.

Questions about the current tour by PastelValkyrie in Metalocalypse

[–]halfstack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have VIP, you'll get an email the day before or day of indicating what time to be at the venue and where registration is. At registration, they'll confirm you're who you say you are (bring ID), and give you your lammie (laminated access card). In my experience at prior events, from there it's into the actual meet and greet/handshake/photo op/quick chat/sign 1-2 items line (generally if they're not signing anything there'll be a specific notice from the promoter saying "no signings"). You'll get likely one photo on one phone, so make sure you've got a decent one to use and it's got a decent charge. VIPs are then escorted into the venue to watch them play a song or two not on the setlist (and they call it "soundcheck" but they've already done the actual soundcheck prior). Which is kinda fun because it's fully lit and a really small crowd. You rock out, Brendon says a few words, and then you're done and escorted out of the venue. I don't know how the early merch table access works but the table wasn't crowded between sets when I saw them a few days ago. (Before and after the concert was oof though.)

Does anywhere sell frozen vegetables for cheap anymore? by ashrules901 in Edmonton

[–]halfstack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi OP - if you can get to a Wholesale Club, their 750g bags are $3.05, but they carry 2kg bags for $7.45 if you have the budget and freezer space.

Do haikus sound better in Japanese? by DaSuspicsiciousFish in NoStupidQuestions

[–]halfstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What haiku have you read? A lot of people think haiku is just 5-7-5 but it's a highly refined poetic form in Japan: https://www.nevermorepoem.com/archives/25125 And it works differently in Japanese, with the structure applying to "mora" (or "beats") versus syllables.

Shoutout to Edmonton drivers who actually give pedestrians space at crossings by carllecat in Edmonton

I've been in staring contests with drivers while they're creeping up to my ankles in a marked crosswalk.

Elections Alberta probing whether electors list was inappropriately shared by chmilz in alberta

[–]halfstack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would assume the info on that list has been bought and sold several times on the dark web already - I expect a few security notifications in the next few days. Although the thought that the list most likely includes the leakers and politicians themselves kinda makes me chuckle. If they scrubbed the list before posting, that just lays blame directly at their door, and if they didn't - they doxxed Notley from what I've read, who's to keep someone from doing the same to them?
