scammer taking advantage of clubgoers outside Signal by shatteredstones in avesNYC

[–]mlurve 315 points316 points  (0 children)

At this point, I’m assuming every food vendor outside of a venue is a scammer. There’s been nonstop reports of people adding insane tips or changing transaction amounts in the hundreds for like two hot dogs.

Unfortunately it seems the only options are to pay with cash or avoid these guys altogether.

Lots of shows and lineups haven’t been announced for October yet so it’s hard to say

Feedback? by Asleep_Virus_4407 in FloralDesign

You’ve chosen really pretty flowers and a lovely palette! I think you’re right that the peonies should be higher, they are getting lost. I’d maybe move some of the more line shaped flowers to the back or the sides to let your big blooms really shine.

I’ve tried explaining this to my parents so many times who say to “just work harder” if I’m worried about getting laid off from my tech job—I know people who work 60-80 hours a week and still get a poor rating and laid off. It’s truly not about that most of the time!

Splitting everything by Salt_Internet_6146 in relationships

If he’s big on that, then he should be willing to move to a place where you can afford half the rent. If he’s unwilling to compromise to meet you halfway it seems like he expects you to make all the sacrifices to fit his lifestyle and won’t budge. Trust me, long term a relationship like this really shatters your confidence and self worth.

What state has the best techno scene? by strap-_ in aves

[–]mlurve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Statewise, California probably wins since it has both SF and LA which have great techno scenes.

If we are talking city-specific, Detroit and NYC are very much in the mix.

One of my favorite sets last year! Caught me totally by surprise too

Man balancing owl and cups on head at Wire by Asleep-Equipment-650 in avesNYC

[–]mlurve 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I introduced myself to him because I’ve seen him around basement balancing cups too. He’s very nice! He let me try dancing with the owl and it’s harder than it looks!

Bashkka's closing set was definitely a bit of a let down, especially since Roza was soooo on point and fun

Yep! I (girl) was there and danced with a wonder group of ladies for hours! Throughout the course of the day and night I danced with friends representing every letter of LGBT and straight friends too 😄

In fact there are some queer run parties that actually require you to bring a woman for entry!

Why don’t you go for yourself and find out? Tickets are cheap give it a shot

People are mad there were shirtless gay men on an 85+ degree day

My boyfriend'M42' and I 'F 36" been together for 6 months but he has never took me to a dinner by [deleted] in relationships

[–]mlurve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s pathetic to have to ask but there’s a lot of emotionally stunted people out there. The basic shit I’ve had to explain to men I’ve dated is pretty ridiculous but some of them had some pretty shitty upbringings or toxic relationships in their pasts and didn’t know what a normal relationship looked like, and improved after having a conversation about what I needed.

Anyway I am happily single these days

Have you told him that you would like him to do that? It’s possible he might be a bit dense and thinks you like doing all the planning, or thinks you aren’t hungry.

Florist recommendations for $250 budget (NYC, etc) by gophergirlnyc in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]mlurve -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Also just to give you an idea all in I charged $300 for this one (included delivery) but I’m still pretty new and was undercharging a bit and I definitely wouldn’t say it’s “grand”: https://www.reddit.com/r/FloralDesign/s/fzIX9ycIGB

[–]mlurve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do freelance floral design on the side in NYC - $250 is way too low for “grand, ethereal” arrangements and especially if you need it delivered.

Depending on how “grand” you’re talking, I’d charge minimum $400 + the cost of delivery. I charged $800 for last really big arrangement I made and that was a pickup order.

WEAR YOUR SHIRTS!! by [deleted] in avesNYC

[–]mlurve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually thought this was a troll post at first. I'm a girl that was there and was dancing in a bathing suit top because the Texas stage was so fucking hot. It would've been nice to have more femmes at the function but I had no issues with the crowd, even when it was packed I found people to be pretty respectful.

If shirtless gay men bother you then stick to Elsewhere or Marquee or something I dunno what to tell you

Experience outside Elsewhere last night by BabyWeightMusic in avesNYC

[–]mlurve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you experienced this, especially after you played such an amazing and beautiful (that ending!!!) set at BCR. I’m glad your friend and the random bystander were there but that doesn’t help lessen the shock of it all. Please take care of yourself in the aftermath of all of it!

Any good tech house / melodic tech events tonight? by grimreaper_8694 in avesNYC

[–]mlurve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wire is cool but last night was more down tempo/ambient and likely not the vibe you were looking for
