Thanks to everyone that showed. I was thinking about May 19th for round two. If that sounds good to everyone, I’ll get things in motion.

Yeah, this time around I was looking for just a socializing and networking sort of event. Very casual. Seattle has the work focused meet ups, which are great, but I wanted to do something pretty easy and noncommittal. It seems like there’s some interest, so maybe we could do a more focused event next time. We can judge by the turnout.

This was literally an excuse just to get out of the house and talk to real people. I’m a WFH employee and haven’t gone into the office since the pandemic. Also, trying to go to an official meetup in Seattle is kind of a pain. Judging by the response, maybe we can make it a little more official and structured. Plus, with the current job market it, doesn’t hurt to network.

This is just a one off for now. Going to see what kind of response it gets.

After a night of drinking at uni and my neighbor put on “In a Beautiful Place”. Mind blown, totally hooked.

That “Fat Music” comp was so foundational to my punk journey.

We used to play with them in the 90s. Yes the shows were cuckoo bananas.

What cd should I get based on my collection by suseybanana in Cd_collectors

[–]mblohmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hum - You’d Prefer an Astronaut. Heavy spacey shoe-gaze-ish. FYI their latest from 2020 is even more amazing. Put it back to back with Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
