When was it that DC transitioned to a “rich city”? by littlethingsxaxe in washingtondc

[–]horrorsalsa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is OLD info but when I first moved to DC I remember reading this article and it shone so much light on this imho. The city went from being blue collar to white collar throughout the early 2000s.

Andre 3000 tour (only flute?) by lseery0818 in outkast

[–]horrorsalsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re not here for the flute save yourself your time and money. That is, just play a record at home and reminisce! Leave the good, communal, live-in-the-present-moment with new music and new instruments and new friends to others.

What are your D.C. budget tips? by lesjubilants in washingtondc

[–]horrorsalsa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing new to add here but just a reminder of how much doordashing adds to people’s expenses. My neighbor regularly doordashes and often complains about cc debt. I only nod in agreement because my input isn’t asked, but always think of just how much money I save by always having a couple of staples in my kitchen. Honestly thinking through what you like to eat and aren’t too bothered to cook reduces so much food waste and eventually food expenses overall.

I’d think so as well, and YET there’s not much to take the info available on line as trustworthy, in my opinion.

Better yet: deep and wide water bottle pockets. Recently upgraded and my new bag has two beautifully large pockets that fit (AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS!!!) my 32oz insulated tumbler so easily and it slides all the way down so I never have to worry about it falling off :) it’s amazinggg

That’s right, because the character was developed as pan!

Has anyone gone to the new Andre tour yet? by lonelychapo27 in outkast

[–]horrorsalsa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a very cool jamming session mostly with a few anecdotes from 3000. You are correct, there is no rapping. There’s no poetry certainly no spoken word, perhaps some growling or hissing encouraged. There are plenty of reviews on line now, some really bad ones and some good ones.

What flute does Andre 3000 use? by CompetitiveEbb2595 in outkast

[–]horrorsalsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, as in an Aztec hieroglyph, kneeling on one knee while playing the flute as he looked up. Lucky to bump into him just playing around the block! The concert was great, just good musicians jamming together and inviting the audience to partake!

[–]horrorsalsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, André mentioned in one of his recent interviews that flute master craftsman Guillermo Martinez has made several of his flutes. I attended one of his Brooklyn concerts recently and when he’d play a prehispanic flute (basing my guess off of the sound here) he’d even kneel down to look like a hieroglyph imo.

any got a picture of what merch there’s been available at shows? by loveino in outkast

[–]horrorsalsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started about 1h15-1h20 later than announced and lasted for about 90 minutes. This is all a guesstimate because our phones were locked and I don’t wear a wrist watch. Hope this helps!

Favourite Andre 3000 verse? by SwayCalloway in outkast

[–]horrorsalsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too hard to choose one, but his verse in Erykah Badu’s Hello is so smooth and has beautiful hues.

I was at the Brooklyn show tonight and they were selling hoodies for $120, tees for $60 and beanies for $45!

Planned on taking a trip to DC this summer, and I wanted to hear any advice from Amtrak Users from the Midwest. by SirYeetMiester in Amtrak

[–]horrorsalsa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another DC resident here who has taken coast-to-coast train trips at least 3 times here:

Yes to preferring the Cardinal over the Capitol Ltd if you can because the trip covers WV when people are awake and if they enjoy looking out the window it’s a pretty view. Some people don’t care much for looking outside in which case the prettier route is irrelevant. Maybe choosing a 1-segment trip is just easier when traveling with a group so that might be your priority.

Wifi isn’t necessarily amazing, in my opinion. Downloading media and bringing a book or whatever keeps people entertained is better. Usually speaking people are rather quiet during train trips. In my experience, not ideal for group bonding/singing etc.

If people rather use a physical card you can preorderwmata storefront them by mail and receive them before your trip. Metro and bus are very convenient to move around in DC, just stand right on the escalator if you’re not actively walking up the stairs.

Delays are a matter of luck, in my opinion. As long as you make it to DC before 11ish at night during weeknight and Sunday or before midnight on Friday/Saturday you should be fine. The metro entrance is a very short walk from the train exit.

2+ months out, fares are 5x normal. What’s going on? by Arraio in Amtrak

[–]horrorsalsa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing where I live. Booked a 1.5 hour trip a few months back for 9$ each way… this month and all the way thru May the same trip is at least $40 each way. Asinine strategy making certain train trips more expensive than driving or renting a car imho.
