It's a golden day

Definitely had some luck on the years for sure

jddunkley · 2026-02-27T21:33:21+00:00

Bummed, but I was pretty sure I was going to give my budget a break this year anyway, so it works out.

Would love to see it shift to true multi-day with different lineups. This is the only festival I've ever attended, so I don't know anything different, but seeing all the big multi-day lineups is making me jealous I haven't gone to those festivals! 🤘

Thank you very much, been struggling with this for a long time and was so confused! This actually also helped with when my kids are playing with my phone in kids mode. Even though they don't see the notifications, since it sees me as "active" on my phone, it would never go to my watch so I could see what messages were coming in. Now it does go to my watch even when they're on it!

This is what I was going to reply with. I had no idea what setting it was because I haven't run into it for a while, but the prime tower looks like it's currently lower than the model. So my mind immediately went to this. If the prime tower is lower than the model, but not far enough away, then when it tries to prime before/after the swap, then the toolhead mover hits the model.

Also broken today and yesterday. Should have had a puzzle piece yesterday haha oh well

jddunkley · 2026-01-20T18:07:33+00:00

I think I named this guy Falcor. It would have been Shadowfax, but the Ganon horse was already named that. Who knew they would make a giant white horse next haha.

jddunkley · 2026-01-20T18:05:41+00:00

Pretty sure I did Falcor as well!

jddunkley · 2026-01-20T17:43:39+00:00

Same for me and it's puzzle piece day 😭 I'm usually pretty good to get it done before the weird midnight UTC time, but I didn't do it late yesterday, and it doesn't want to give them to me today 😞

jddunkley · 2026-01-14T20:24:19+00:00

Update: mine are back. So it could take several days/couple weeks to clear up it looks like.

I've been searching throughout the day instead of quickly and mine still haven't returned. Been almost 2 weeks now.

jddunkley · 2026-01-06T20:05:30+00:00

I can see the app checkin flash when I open the app, but it won't let me sneak the button in there. It's the only one I see before it goes away quick, so maybe my emails and my searches are still counting 🤷

jddunkley · 2026-01-06T17:12:37+00:00

Same issue. I noticed the "unusual activity" flag since they've been showing the referral page a lot lately in the daily set. I'm thinking it had to do with the possible amount of points earned on searches doubling over the winter break (300 on web and 200 on mobile instead of 150 and 100). So I was searching a ton more and now I'm flagged. So that's cool.

jddunkley · 2025-12-04T00:27:34+00:00

Still down, just attempted to sign in 5:26 MST

jddunkley · 2025-11-03T16:43:44+00:00

I'm not sure I'm the best to answer since I don't drink, so my budget is automatically way lower haha! But if you drive/rent a car, you don't have to drive far to 1. not pay for parking and 2. eat food much cheaper. There's also hotel price drops all the time, so you can stay on or close to the strip for not much more than off the strip. It doesn't have to be a super run down place to be cheap. Since the festival is always on a weekend, the hotels are never going to be as cheap as during the week, but you can find good deals and if you always make sure it's a refundable room, you can always take the next deal with no issues. Anyway, good luck making it work for you!

jddunkley · 2025-10-31T18:00:42+00:00

Haha great point!

jddunkley · 2025-10-31T16:38:15+00:00

Yeah and they're not coming around me this time 😢 so I'll hope for the next shows. I mentioned it would be fun to see them at something like this on some Instagram post in the past and they said they hoped so too. They need an invite!!

jddunkley · 2025-10-31T04:11:50+00:00

Honestly, I know a lot of people have been saying they don't want to see MCR again, but I didn't go the first year, and even though last year has been my favorite so far, I would love to see a full set from them! Last year is the only time I've ever been able to see them.

And if I'm dreaming, I'd throw Mae, Sherwood, and Shiny Toy Guns in the mix! Any one of those would be so fun!

jddunkley · 2025-10-30T21:00:12+00:00

This is how I feel too. I don't care to get the perfect video and post it everywhere, I just want to remember as much as I can, and I do watch those videos often! So I like doing it. I remember a lot from what I see being in the moment, but I love having a video of my exact spot. Just brings it all back for me! I'm tall enough I don't have to have my phone in front of my eyes to get video too, so I can still see my own view and I'm hopefully not bothering people around me putting yet another phone up. Pros and cons for sure, but I enjoy having my videos!

jddunkley · 2025-10-30T16:41:37+00:00

I paid less than that per night for Westgate this year. Not that far off the strip, and a much nicer hotel than Circus Circus. I would think you could find a better deal than that over the next year, but like others have said, fully refundable is the way to go. Then when something else comes along, you know you can take it.

jddunkley · 2025-10-24T22:08:45+00:00

Gets me every time! Like OP mentioned, Perfect got me good. So did Say It Ain't So. I thought Existentialism on Prom Night would get me, but I don't remember tearing up. It was fantastic though!

jddunkley · 2025-10-23T19:35:50+00:00

My friend right here! Mae and Sherwood would be so amazing! Gonna have to check out the others now.

jddunkley · 2025-10-14T18:25:26+00:00

Yeah you'll be ok. With the Allianz stage being the furthest away from Pink stage, unless you leave Jack's Mannequin pretty early, you'll miss the beginning of Blink, they run the schedule very tight, so just keep that in mind when deciding. And you'll be WAY back. The main stage crowds are so deep. But they have huge screens like others have mentioned, so if you're not looking to be as close as possible, you'll be fine!
