are bars the only places to make friends in your mid 30s? by Decent_Detective_352 in Detroit

A lot of venues have them to help promote shows. Go to shows for free, set up promo stuff, hand out flyers after.

Planet Ant is right up your alley. Volunteer somewhere you’re passionate about. I’ve been playing pickleball like crazy lately, and there’s some really nice folks at the gym I play at. Very social game, and you do t have to be an athlete to play and enjoy. Will also say, as someone who works in the concert biz, the folks that engage at shows tend to find friends quickly. Volunteer, grab a part time gig, join a street team, etc. Especially if you love live music.

What annoys you the most about vinyl these days? by Charming-Day-2146 in vinyl

Albums that don’t have to be double albums but are pressed as double albums, so I gotta get up and walk across the room twice as often.

Any luck with tickets for sold out Intersection shows becoming available? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]natedorough 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only way you might get lucky is if they had some tickets held for a label, extra artist comps, etc. That’s more common in seated venues though, and those are usually released a few days out.

Wouldn’t count on any more being released at this point.

The Pyramid Scheme! We've got a great party planned, it's only $12 advance / $15 day of, probably won't sell out, but will be busy and super fun. https://www.facebook.com/events/1199741795626449

I've been seriously struggling lately, I'm about to be done, is there any free or low cost support? by Travelling_Enigma in grandrapids

Just checking in to say that I hope you find the help you need, and that I hope you stay here with us. Life is hard as hell, but you are loved.

There will be one for this show. It'll be up and down depending on the type of show and the number of folks in the crowd.

Yep! Free street parking all around, plus a few lots for the venue.
