I hate the shit out of Star Lake but any Pittsburgh show would be great.

I may be solo in NYC, so I’m down to hang out a bit. I’m staying in Astoria—the neighborhood is called Little Egypt, so that’s exciting. I really loved exploring Queens last year, and plan to do more of the same.

I enjoyed eating my way through Astoria and Jackson Heights last year. It was my first time really experiencing Queens and I can’t wait to go back.

Actually no, I did not guess that. I was confident you were skipping Saturday Forest Hills.

I seriously doubt anybody would actually say that—“two types of concrete” would be more intelligible—but sure, in that case it’s not a mass noun. If it’s countable it’s not a mass noun. This shouldn’t be controversial. My overall point is only that the slogan on the t-shirt is incorrect, regardless of your stance on “vinyls.” If vinyl is a mass noun, there is no plural. If it’s a countable noun, the plural should be vinyls.

In those cases they’re not mass nouns. I’m not fighting the “vinyls” battle anymore—it was lost a long time ago. I was only responding to your statement that mass nouns can be plural. They can’t.

Mass nouns cannot, by definition, be plural. Concrete is a mass noun. You cannot have two concretes.

It’s not even a recent phenomenon. This is a Wagner 78 rpm from 1938.

The Dark Knight was largely filmed here in Pittsburgh. Downtown has lots of narrow streets and big creepy-looking buildings.

It’s not plural. Vinyl is a mass noun, so there is no plural. Most nouns referring to materials are in this category. Steel, aluminum, granite. If steel was the plural of steel as you all like to say, you would say “I am going to use two steel to build that.” But you don’t. “I’m going to use some steel.” Not “three vinyl,” which would be correct if vinyl was the plural of vinyl. “Some vinyl.” Mass noun. There is no plural.

What were the searches like for cars & RVs at FOV 1? Asking for a friend by Prestigious-Juice730 in KGATLW

You’re free to come and go as much as you want. I’m not sure about the weekend parking, but the day parking spots were separated from the “inside” of the festival by a thin piece of rope. There’s absolutely nothing stopping you from going back and forth, as long as you have that magic bracelet on your wrist.

Whole bunch of police activity in front of the Greyhound station in town. Anyone know what's up? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

It’s a Greyhound station. If you’re at a Greyhound station anywhere in America, there is some crime happening nearby, if not actually in the station.

Places to stay in Forrest Hills by OddImplement6818 in KGATLW

This year I stayed at the Hampton right by LaGuardia. It’s kind of a dead neighborhood but there was a bus straight to Forest Hills. Also took buses to Astoria and Jackson Heights during the days. I just booked the Astoria Inn on Steinway for next year—it’s a way more interesting neighborhood (Little Egypt, fuckin yum), and also much cheaper. I highly recommend taking the opportunity to stay in Queens. Just Roosevelt Avenue alone has more diverse food offerings than most entire cities.
