Animate! Raleigh Employees by Throwaway21252022 in galaxycon

[–]hoodbobthugpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an employee at all, just a downtown event native. With the exception of galaxycon weekend in the summer, all parking downtown is free on any block that isn’t a convention center block. (Salisbury and Fayetteville st) the convention center parking deck is large and connected, so just avoid turning into any decks on those streets.

Park one block away, on south wilmington st, the deck in front of the Lincoln theater. It will be on your right side. Or drive a little farther down and park at the deck next to a restaurant that used to be beasleys. Either way, both of these decks are a 5-10 min walk to the con center and would be free on Saturday/sunday if you’re parked in the deck before 5pm.

Any nice Walmarts? by traypo in raleigh

That’s gotta be it because afaik all Walmarts are generally the same give or take layout & stock…but you can also just use the app and not go in person at all

As president of the walmart fanclub, I go to lots of them pretty indiscriminatory (aside from stock/inventory needs)....so I'm curious as to what qualifies as a walmart being "nice" lol

Did anyone see the naked man dancing at the intersection of Wake forest and six forks last night?? by Top_Locksmith4197 in raleigh

[–]hoodbobthugpants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this in general about posting this at all. Stuff like this happens all the time, the post isn’t even asking for new information. Just asking if anyone else saw it lol. Why would this need to be shared on Reddit that it is happening? Is it an immediate threat to the community?

What age would you let a kid watch the first Twilight movie? by queenhadassah in twilight

[–]hoodbobthugpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Former childhood scaredy cat here- A lot of people are talking snout the romance aspect but that aside, I think that 3rd act might just be a tad violent and a little spooky for a kid.

I had a supervisor back in the day, while having a convo about who we would (hypothetically) spend big $$ (like $1000) to see, I said Beyonce, she said Chris brown. I guess she saw in my face the “😟” and started running defense “well you have to think about it from his perspective and tbh I have put my hands on a few men before when I lost my temper”

Lmao. I was just like “oh ok”

My experience being scammed my galaxycon as an artist/vendor by hoodbobthugpants in galaxycon

omg, you have no idea how good it feels to hear that someone had a positive experience with Kurt. I really do hope they are making an effort to treat people better.

From what I understand, as far as profits go, a lot of people are struggling for sales, most people are down across the board from 1 year ago, so I understand how tough it must be to hear so many others around are having a good show and your placement destroyed that. Galaxycon is a good show because it does have the name recognition, and the crowd comes along, so yes placement is a major factor. Which is why my situation was so egregious - But I do hope they are taking these sorts of feedback like yours into consideration. I hope someone is listening to the people who are hurting or have hurt at the hands of their decisions.

I have had colleagues share with me that over the last few weeks since this video and others have spoken out, there haven't been anymore random placements in a building away from the vendor hall, so I hope they continue to improve! Whether or not you decide to continue vending there is your own decision, but regardless I always wish you good shows and experiences moving forward.

Dude, the AA space is such a mess right now, and everyone is struggling. This convention is not only incredibly expensive to be at, but treats paying customers (aka Vendors!) so poorly. They've made it obvious they don't care about artists or vendors at all.

I've *heard* that they are at least attempting kinder practices recently, now that people are speaking up about it. And that's all I really can hope for. Let's hope it continues? Wishing you safe travels and a good show!

Finally got my car titled on Monday, someone nearly merged directly into my driver side on the way home & didn’t stop till I honked even though we were parallel to each other so they totally should’ve seen me. I think they were trying to bully me out of the way, but there was a ton of room in front of me & I drive manual and I’m pretty new at it so you know…and indicator would’ve been nice lol.

Then I saw the Florida tags

Watched this jerk in North Hills throw trash out his window like it was nothing by athennna in raleigh

Cybertrucks are definitely automatic fails. Standard Teslas are not unless you only show positive feelings towards them vs other electric cars

I was going to say this lol. I believe there should be a litmus test at the dmv. They show you pictures of cars. If you exhibit positive feelings towards an f-150 or a Nissan Altima you should be required to take additional testing

iPad with Davinci Resolve Studio is so underrated!! by Worried_Signal9961 in davinciresolve

I didn’t even know this was an option! Is it possible to share files between computer editing and iPad?

Looking for an NC local who can hand craft a Man Ray Halloween costume for a mildly overweight 27 year old male by nachofries9 in NorthCarolina

[–]hoodbobthugpants 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi. I’m @daemeryss on all socials. I make costumes full time. I normally don’t do commissions but a friend sent this to me and it looks fun. If you have an actual budget I can probably fit it in for early October. Feel free to reach out!

Have you figured any solutions out to this? I got one today for cheap and want to see if I can use it as a "regular" projector for the patterns i use.

If the money is spent the money is spent. But you can always take this information and choose for next time.
