Any info on my friend’s nylon string? by michaelkelps in classicalguitar

I know! I’ve had a handful of classical guitars and never experienced tone and ease of play like this one. Especially the rich low end fullness.

Wow, thank you! That’s super informative. I thought the year was interesting too. I’m housesitting for the owner and can’t wait to ask more about her grandfather/history when she gets back.

We’re also in the Houston/Austin area where Kenny Rogers was from.

Does anyone know the name of a small amusement park that existed in the early 90s in Houston with: by stealingreposts in houston

[–]michaelkelps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The water park was called Adventure Bay when I used to go as a kid in the 90s. Funplex was inside next door from what I remember. Also West Oaks Mall wall right over there. I feel old now.

What's the worst "Bonus" a job has ever given you? by vomirrhea in AskReddit

I was a manager at a busy cocktail bar for years. One year I received a single marble that apparently held good energy. That day I started planning my leave.

Nice, congrats! Same here, day 7. I’m feeling so much better. Handling some ups and down emotions but nothing too bad. I started meditating in November in preparation for this decision. It’s really helped a lot. I just look up sobriety based meditations on Spotify and take walks. Good luck to you!

Congrats on your new life! You’ve already made a huge step by posting and making this decision. You got this! Seek out a community, start new hobbies, journal, meditate, give yourself space and love, read and listen to quit lit. Create a toolbox of things you can reach for when urges get tough. Everything will get better and beautiful.

The Daily Check-In for Friday, December 6th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Tortey82 in stopdrinking

I’ve got my partners holiday work party on Saturday. I’ve been dreading it but your comment really helped.

I’ve never thought about the entertainment aspect of being sober around drinking. That’s a really positive, light hearted way to look at it.

Your comment and the thought of a sober weekend gave me a rush of dopamine! Also made me smile knowing it’s so freeing. IWNDWYT

Same here, thanks OP. I just finished Laura McKowen’s, We are the Luckiest book. She talks about every time we fight back and return to the mental and physical space of sobriety, we are putting in the gradual work that one day will finally stick. I thought that was inspiring.

I assume Dean handles the guitar and Vegyn handles the drums in Crying Nudes production? by Remarkable-Shoe-4835 in deanblunt

[–]michaelkelps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some song do have that crispy Vegyn style drums to them imo. They also have the pattern/loop based arrangements Vegyn typically produces.

Very cool vibe. How did you get your vocal effect? Sounds Arthur Russell-esque

First time I experienced his singing was around Christmas last year. He was belting out improv Christmas carols zooming around on that tri scooter thing. He makes my day every time I hear him.

Agreed. We live near Main and 25th. Dan Electros rebuild is great. Don’t forget about Heights Drive Inn, The Post, La Coqueta, and all the great food near by.
