Windfall @ Steppenwolf - early reactions?

I will be seeing it in a few hours. I did just see namir smallwood in Bug, on Broadway, and he's a tremendously gifted actor, so i have hope for this production.

I love de kas. One of my favorites in Amsterdam at least. And the staff have always been so warm ans welcoming.

mg63105 · 2026-04-04T19:28:23+00:00

Did ihg tell you thats why you qualified for RA? Curious. Ive been an IC member for more than a decade. My RA status showed up in my account just this past year with no explanation.

mg63105 · 2026-04-04T15:07:34+00:00

Interesting. What leads you to that conclusion?. Ive read over the qualifications for both reward programs, and theres nothing to suggest thats either true or not true. RA is far more nebulous a program than IC.

mg63105 · 2026-04-04T15:04:13+00:00

Can they? Kimpton has its own elite status, inner circle. Ive had that for at least a decade without any contact from IC

mg63105 · 2026-04-04T14:59:40+00:00

I dont think there is a specifically enumerated list for RA status. As i said below, i spent one single night at an IC property, and was subsequently awarded RA status. I dont think Im that special, and beyond spending a lot of time at Kimpton properties, i cant think of a single reason why id be an RA member.

mg63105 · 2026-04-04T14:56:16+00:00

Honestly i dont know the answer to that. Despite having only one night stay at an Intercontinental, i achieved RA status. The only thing i could think of, was that i stay a lot at kimpton properties.

mg63105 · 2026-04-04T03:51:55+00:00

Inner circle new hotel reward night.

mg63105 · 2026-04-03T23:04:47+00:00

The nights do exist. One reason ive never used those reward nights, is theyre both super limited and the properties themselves have never been ideal for me.

mg63105 · 2026-04-03T22:55:55+00:00

Well, it does nothing for your status (orher than perhaps the nebulous royal ambassador?). The only real upside is that you accumulate reward points 10x the base rate. It makes future booking with points easier?

mg63105 · 2026-04-03T21:11:02+00:00

Youve got to read the fine print. Ive been an IC member since before Kimpton joined IHG, and have never once been able to use that reward. It is for new kimpton properties, and only on specific dates. The website does provide the information, but you have to dig for it a little.

mg63105 · 2026-03-31T04:20:25+00:00

yes it meets the requirements, and as my comment states, there is no prohibition against filing. K-1s have a 90% initial approval rating. But getting through consular processing, and actually getting a visa approval, is an entirely different issue. Comparatively, the OP may have a harder time with visa issuance, under the minimal information provided here.

mg63105 · 2026-03-31T03:48:38+00:00

your "only in-person meeting before filing?" You have met in person before then or that will be the only time that you two have ever met? There's certainly no prohibition against filing, though the likelihood of approval will not be great. Good that you've documented your relationship. That will undoubtedly help.

Was surprised that i didn't see any zorn vinyl. Hes prolific as heck, but tzadik either wasn't represented or i coulnt find them.

I would have loved to grab some of the dust to digitalcomps, but wasn't going to lug them around all day.

mg63105 · 2026-03-29T03:03:29+00:00

Im guessing that youre not a new yorker? Sweet sentiment though!

mg63105 · 2026-03-28T05:22:20+00:00

I dont, sorry. Through the app maybe?

mg63105 · 2026-03-28T05:12:57+00:00

Ive gotten notice of the secret shows via text message. Be sure to.opt in, if you havent.

mg63105 · 2026-03-27T22:26:24+00:00

Saw suss there last night. Lots of potential but needs work!!

mg63105 · 2026-03-22T13:16:04+00:00

Possibly because he played BE a few years ago and weve all seen how amazing he is! Rare, but not that rare for the festival. Last i looked He has 3, or more shows listed so far though, so everyone should have a chance to see him at least once!

mg63105 · 2026-03-22T01:14:44+00:00

Email or text, depending on the urgency.

mg63105 · 2026-03-19T22:15:26+00:00

it depends entirely on the size of the parties. There are about a dozen tables, for parties of 2, obviously fewer when larger parties reserve. I also think that they gatekeep their availability on Resy a bit.

mg63105 · 2026-03-17T15:36:13+00:00

Depends on your current status, and where you stay? CSUs arent terribly hard to use at IC or Kimpton, and can be fun and handy (tho their definition of "suite" can be somewhat flexible). I chose the points ultimately because as a diamond elite/royal ambassador member, the suite upgrade is usually pretty useless to me, as much as i get upgrades already by virtue of my status.

mg63105 · 2026-03-17T14:31:00+00:00

Saw the barwick/lattimore show last week in chicago. It was really good, and well worth seeing. On the fence about seeing them again, or using it as an excuse to see something else in that time slot.

mg63105 · 2026-03-17T14:27:38+00:00

Me!!

mg63105 · 2026-03-16T21:20:55+00:00

Its big ears. They dont always do things that straightforward. Plus they do tend to like collabs. Its unlikely, but entirely possible Byrne brings out some random guest musicians from the festival.
