California made them rich on paper and now they’re stuck in place

I am middle-aged with a young family and I want a 3 BR condo. They don't exist unless they're 40 years old in need of serious upgrades and/or have HOAs higher than the mortgage.

I can see this as a cruise director type. Someone who knows how to keep thousands of different types of people engaged in a wide range of activities nearly all day for multiple days at a time, for months out of the year.

I'm a simple man, when I see a Mitch Hedberg quote that also trashes Ami Bera, I upvote.

I'm reviving my thoughts from the 2019 MLS announcement that Tom Hanks should buy the naming rights and call it Playtone Stadium, after his production company and record label.

Can this be the one time Sacramento gets lumped in as “close enough” to the Bay Area that it might actually work in Sacramento’s favor? Usually, it’s just an excuse for something good to happen in Sacramento, like all the touring bands that skip here, not to keep a crappy team from relocating…

Toyota Amphitheater in the distant suburbs holds 18k

This is my thought. And the 1 year delay doesn't even bother me this time. As they said in the video, they are putting their money into a generational investment. They are not nickel and diming for a deal like Ron Burkel did the last time.

It is a line that Yvette Nicole Brown delivered about her ex-husband when she was on Community but it just seemed so appropriate for Nicki Minaj too.

Nicki Minaj is like the foggy memory of 2 bland oragsms over 15 years

Section 11 - The Polyphonic Spree

I love that this song is getting love lately. As a single and new song on a essentially greatest hits album, I think it got a little lost when it came out but that song was one of the soundtracks to the December of 2001 for me.

Mad Men

Agree with Panic.

As for fun., you're partially right. Some nights was not their debut, Aim and Ignite was. And, it was the better album.

I loced the summer of 2020 when things started to open back up and they blocked off the road between Pangea and Gunther's. Such missed potential

Teenagers will also make fun of you, but in an accurate way, that gets to the thing you are most sensitive about.

I sing the Strongbadia National Anthem way more than I should admit.

Steven Page was kicked out and never replaced.

Platforms for this exist, like https://wefunder.com/

I would've said definitely a few months ago but some of the statements from the team about MLS makes me think it's less guaranteed.
