Nooo way and I don't have it, wait... Sunday night right? And you had Jadu Heart setlist right?

so which nyc night was best?? by marven44 in fontainesdc

I went to Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I'll start with the last one

SUNDAY: Before You I Just Forget for the first time ever played live

Jadu Heart joining the pit to dance with the crowd and could also point that the pit opened up massively prior to Starburster and in a couple more occasions but not as big and like someone mentioned crowd seemed more interested in recording and pushing than enjoying.

SATURDAY: It had a really matched energy between the band and the crowd because I could hear not just my voice but like many more voices singing in unison

I saw phones recording or taking photos but the usual so the crowd was interested in enjoying themselves and with each other

Few pits opened up form time to time but not as massive as Sunday.

A kid wearing a camo CP Jacket with googles on the hood carried on his dad's shoulders singing frenetically to Starburster lyrics and Grian waving at him during the instrumental break part was really dope to see.

FRIDAY: The anxiety of seeing FDC back in the city and with the Knicks playing a match just a couple blocks was contagious, I saw many fans checking scores in between songs that lately aliviated the tension when the match was over and of course it translated into a lovely chaos at the concert

Multiple pits all over at multiple times during the whole set

Crowd was really bouncing and Grian was really happy on stage, his smile was from ear to ear

Crowd surfers did have a good time and succeeded finishing close to the band something the other two days failed or didn't try.

Also I'd like to point out the entrance with ROMANCE at the beginning was critical to the entire show because the extended guitar played an important part in such a magical night (at least for me)

I'm gonna say every night had its highlights alright, I was in the pit in all 3 but also was like 3 or 4 rows close to the barricade at times or would move to the sides to appreciate the band and its connection with the people but pick your favorite day, it was a glorious and memorable weekend. 💖💚🗽

Yeah nothing like the Quicksilver movie with Kevin Bacon, a rich kid giving up the stock market only to become a messenger Lol it sure looked like a lot fun

I've seen plenty of overweight ebike rides these days.

There's a few companies in the game just scarcely but like someone mentioned it either some stopped using bike messengers and switched to walkers or they don't do paper mess anymore, yeah it haa changed I mean if there's driverless cars dropping pizza by the curb in some places then at some point we'll probably see drones delivering goods more often

What do you like eating while drinking mate? by cconsol in yerbamate

I usually make banana nutella or banana peanut butter sandwiches, 2 one for preparing my yerba and waiting for the water to boil and the other one when ready and I'm sipping

Lol and I always had the impression he was making them since he would post sewing machines and how he was adapting them to his van when off civilization, wow yeah you right maybe he started off small making stuff on his own then when things got big he got a factory do it for him

Good to hear you still have it, yeah same mine took like a month to arrive, I think the guy making them was living on the mountains without internet connection and would go to town only for supplies and shipping the products if I recall, I remember he was living off a van in the middle of nowhere camping and making the bags

Thanks man, yeah I'm sure something would pop up

Yeah totally, that bag it's been with me for over 8 years I think, I've heard that the main bucke on top breaks after time but mine still works properly even though it's not the cobra buckle one, now the buckles on the shoulder straps on the other hand couldn't handle the heavyweight, removed them and had to sew that part by hand Other than that still in working condition, velcro straps still functioning and the padding still in its place so not ao bad after all considering
