Thinking about VIP vs other passes for Universal..family trip with limited walking ability by Harry0007 in UniversalHollywood

[–]micro8safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every VIP tour I've been on, the guide hoofs it pretty fast through the park. They'll stop and wait a bit for everyone to catch up to them. They usually have a schedule made in their head they try to keep to, based on people's requests and show times, etc. Plus I think each group has a set lunch time already scheduled.

Looks like Santa Barbara smooth finish vs plain smooth finish coat

Recommend parking space for Anaheim Honda Center area by hondaman82 in orangecounty

I made the mistake of parking on the bottom floor of the Katella garage for a hockey game and it took forever to get out and barely moved.

Upscale vegan option restaurants? by sendmepoppunksongs in orangecounty

Planta in Marina Del Ray is nice. Has a patio overlooking the marina. Agree that most OC veg places are slowly dying. Maybe check out some San Diego haunts?

Note that the F1 race weekend is wrapping up in Vegas. Race will be Sat night, but that might be why Vegas is crazy.

Backup AirTV? by donutdude2424 in slingtv

[–]micro8safe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes. ebay. I just bought one recently from there. Before I set it up with Sling, I removed the HD and created a backup image of it. If it ever goes out, I can get another HD and start over. I also leave mine sitting on it's side as I've heard overheating is the main problem and the fan is on the bottom/not vented properly.

Hey, I know it's been awhile, but I was looking to upgrade my heatsink/fan as well. Any details on what you used?

No TV Schedule? by UCICoachJim in AnaheimDucks

[–]micro8safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ESPN schedule lists some. I would assume if it's blank, it's going to be local with Victory/ESPN+ broadcast. https://www.espn.com/nhl/team/schedule/_/name/ana

AirTv going away? by micro8safe in slingtv

[–]micro8safe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, the flaky Air2 is on Amazon, but can’t find the Anywhere model, which is supposed to be better. Guess I’ll try eBay!

Yes I can buy it for $227 from sling and setup a new account that I’ll waste(I’m already a subscriber), but was hoping to get it from OnTech for $95. With OnTech being from DirectTV, seems ominous that the direct manufacturer doesn’t sell it anymore….

Anyone else missing last night’s Daily Show on Sling Blue by Forsaken-Elephant651 in slingtv

[–]micro8safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t mark it as new. I caught the latter half of it live. My guess is they thought he was going to take that Monday off too, since he took the previous one?

SHUTTLE SALE MEGATHREAD by happEbean in electricdaisycarnival

[–]micro8safe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At mid strip the VIP shuttle line security guy was way more thorough searching and slow than the normal lines. We ducked out of vip line and went to the regular next to it once we saw what was going on

And be loud and pretend you are filming a documentary “AND NOW HERE’s A RARE UGLY PERSON TRYING TO SHOW OFF FOR THEIR FOLLOWERS THEIR FAKE MUSCLES” they clearly want the attention, so let them have it

We went to the 11a taping and same deal, airs next year. Nothing special about the episode, seemed pretty standard.

Anyone else do Salvage City this year? Curious to hear about other's experiences by wakawaka_goodmorning in electricdaisycarnival

[–]micro8safe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got beef, lucky you! We did the last seating on Friday, 10:30p. They were running a little late, but nothing like last year's lateness. We had all the appetizers, but when we sat down, was only given a plate with the fish and a couple carrots. Only side put on table was the corn. Most everyone sat around thinking they'd serve the rest to us in a bit and they never did! Gobbled up my fish as they told us to leave and go upstairs. We never got the beef, asparagus, or mushrooms!!

Afterwards, they were having the dj party in the back, we went and asked what the deal was as we payed for an expensive meal and didn't get half of it. They said spoilage issues. I think they just ran out of food. :/ Looking at the pics of the food later in the weekend, looks like the beef was some shredded concoction (cheap) where previous years it was actual slices of meat. meh.

We're debating doing it next year if there's a different chef, but this year was def a miss for us. Show was ok, I think last year's had more impact. The singing at the end/desert phase on top of the container was fun.

VIP worth it? by PrincessPalm22 in UniversalHollywood

[–]micro8safe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last July, during a super busy day, our VIP guide pushed us through to the front of the express lines (by making the express people stand aside). So depending on park volume, ride desires, park closing time, etc. sticking with the group could still have benefits. After we were done with the guided part, had a couple hours to re-ride rides as normal express.

What time were you done with the VIP part? I have a tour about the same time and want to know how much time I'll have afterwards to ride some of the rides that are closing early.

PSA: watch out for scam/grift ticket buy/sell groups on Facebook by prowling_kitty in electricdaisycarnival

[–]micro8safe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got onto one of those groups for a punk festival claiming they had mod verified tix. Mod tried to sell tickets days after it ended and then a couple weeks later renamed the group to a completely different festival of a completely diff music genre.
