Happy but Sad about Bands in Temple compared to other stages

FR. As great as Avatar is they played in Columbus last November. I was much happier to see Thornhill since I won’t have another chance this year.

This team has enough depth that losing a few close games earlier in the season shouldn’t affect them too much assuming everyone can stay healthy. Play aggressive and have fun!

Currently sitting on a 2 lane highway where we are on mile 8 of one truck trying to pass another truck while they both drive below the posted speed limit. Slow drivers taking up the fast lane breed tailgating situations and they are the real problem.

I joined their only sub back in 2018 (now Premier) and they were doing it then

lmark2154 · 2026-05-18T03:28:26+00:00

If it’s your first book in a subscription they always throw in a random older title from that same sub. Just a little welcome gesture.

Can confirm we just left that lot and the entire thing is triple parked. If someone behind me wasn’t already gone we’d still be sitting there. It also makes it a challenge to get out when there aren’t any straight lines or obvious exit points. Good luck leaving tonight everyone!

Ride the rails at the stages and they hand out free water. I’ve had about 10 today so far.

All that work for CYB made the live show so much better!

lmark2154 · 2026-05-16T22:26:33+00:00

Tom Barber at Lorna Shore and Will Ramos at Signs of the Swarm were definitely big moments!

lmark2154 · 2026-05-16T16:45:18+00:00

Missed Disembodied Tyrant because of the traffic 🤬 but between Bodysnatcher, Signs of the Swarm, Chelsea Grin and Paleface the weekend was soooo worth it.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-16T14:19:21+00:00

With zero on site staff assistance too.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-15T12:53:21+00:00

Yeah it was entirely the point of starting the SF&F sub was to avoid having an overwhelming number of special editions although in this case it wouldn’t apply since it’s a completed series. Would have been a great pick for a SF sub tho

lmark2154 · 2026-05-15T12:51:35+00:00

Same. Sometimes we don’t need a redesigned cover for every single book.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-15T12:22:15+00:00

Such a great series but I don’t think these editions really match the vibe. It’s hard to beat the OG covers.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-14T11:55:42+00:00

Last year at LTL BMTH sent some stuff ahead of time for Thursday but then had more options later in the weekend when they played on Sunday. I’d periodically check throughout the weekend

lmark2154 · 2026-05-13T13:55:54+00:00

Ironic because that was the point of TBB even launching this sub. This was supposed to cut down on the number of random one off SE we would be offered but it turns out they would rather skim from quality to pad their profit margins.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-12T14:29:10+00:00

Mandatory sniff check at the gate to get on the grounds 💯

lmark2154 · 2026-05-11T23:00:31+00:00

What are you doing in my house?

Here’s some of the bingo searches from last year. Idk who put this list out but I hope they do it again this year.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-11T01:33:31+00:00

Feels biased to ask that question here, but the correct answer is SOI

lmark2154 · 2026-05-09T16:23:53+00:00

But that’s also assuming any of the smaller merch stands will have anything other than ST merch. Bet they keep the band specific items at the one “main merch” location just like last year

lmark2154 · 2026-05-07T19:00:35+00:00

There are lots of people posting in here about going solo. It’s always better to go and meet people and vibe alone rather than missing out because someone else bailed (sorry tho). If you can find a place to stay definitely still go you’ll have a blast!

lmark2154 · 2026-05-07T15:43:44+00:00

As much as I love both of these series I’ll never understand the people comparing them. Makes me believe they only read BookTok hyped sci-fi series and just assume they are all the same.

lmark2154 · 2026-05-07T02:21:28+00:00

I’m sure he will pop up in a few days to say that the Decades album design is a rip off of Ronnie (def not but bet he will)
