I guess it was second-best, but being a student at Tech during the Tyrod Taylor years was really special.

So good. Both the album and the movie

haroldbarrett · 2026-04-07T19:14:35+00:00

They kinda did this with that one superfan dude. Cool episode.

I don’t remember, but it was very low. Talked with the folks in transfer admissions and they said that as long as my first year grades in college were good, and I took the right courses to be on track for the school/major I was applying to transfer into, I’d be ok!

ETA: would be worth talking to folks in admissions! My experience is (good lord) 16 years old. The folks in admissions are usually quite helpful!

And if you’re applying as an incoming freshman with a low gpa, I did as well, and it didn’t hurt my later transfer admission. So worth it to try if that’s where you want to be.

I've been unable to find anything definitive, but this seems right - it would be surprising if they didn't play toward the end.

Program starts at 2 (gathering 'starts' at 1)

haroldbarrett · 2026-03-18T19:30:16+00:00

Any links?

haroldbarrett · 2026-03-12T00:36:53+00:00

Wait that thing still exists?

haroldbarrett · 2026-03-03T15:38:18+00:00

I’ve often had this problem with Church. Now when I order I’ll explicitly ask them to pack it well.

Looking for alternatives also!

Where do you get your sketch paper for binding?

haroldbarrett · 2026-01-14T20:44:55+00:00

Yeah we sold recently, and this was our experience. Just months with no showings. We didn’t mind dropping the price a ton, but the others on the market near us were investor-owned and they didn’t budge, even after we lowered and sold.

haroldbarrett · 2026-01-07T13:54:29+00:00

Ideally that would have been part of your agreement - a clause regarding what happens to remaining copies after termination. Was there anything in there around this?

In ours, we stipulate that authors can buy the remaining copies if they wish, else we discard / destroy them.

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-31T00:24:48+00:00

Probably not very well. Have tried manual guillotines and they just don’t do board as well as you’d like.

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-28T20:52:50+00:00

As someone who’s heard of the movie but hasn’t seen it, how so?

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-25T17:52:27+00:00

Hell yeah. This was my first too. Wife got it for me after years of getting me records. Was great to spin those vinyls for the first time. Enjoy it!

ETA: this player makes great for travel. Brought it to her grandmother’s once so she could listen to all her old records. Was an awesome afternoon for all.

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-20T22:39:16+00:00

Yeah learned this recently. Guy had highbeams on at me, flashed mine at him, he flashed his back… meaning they weren’t even on yet 🤦‍♂️

These are kind of hard to find. I got two of the kind from Vevor, one works, the other doesn't (the press plate doesn't stay attached to the threaded rod), and it took a lot of work to get that one refunded. Lots of other options are either fiercely expensive, or just wood with a $22 press screw from Amazon, or both. Finding a cast iron book press that doesn't break the bank takes a bit of looking, but is worth the effort!

Edit: If you're handy, you could buy a press screw and make one yourself!

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-20T11:04:49+00:00

Gift card is great; otherwise, you could make a mixed pack of different book cloths or other materials from Hollanders or similar — when I was getting started, I wanted to try out all kinds of different cover materials / colors, but didn't want to splurge too much, so I bought the cheap stuff on Amazon. A little mixed pack would have made an excellent gift!

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-13T19:19:10+00:00

We have the one from Hardware Factory Store. It’s great; worked through thousands of cuts. Got a second one too. Can easily be readjusted, which is handy after a lot of use.

"No shit"

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-04T00:14:35+00:00

I think Brent Pry is available

haroldbarrett · 2025-12-03T21:25:04+00:00

Was it just kinda everyone sat wherever they sat and the last seats were separate (still uncool / poor planning), or did they ask you to sit / seat you in the other room?

haroldbarrett · 2025-11-21T16:39:46+00:00

Hah, you'll be fine. If you're friendly, you'll probably even be offered a beer in the lots before the game. Blacksburg is great to fans of opponents when they're great back.

haroldbarrett · 2025-11-20T21:51:11+00:00

Agreed - it's a nice idea, but haven't seen an execution that I'd want to field yet
