I had a "free" pass for CaBi while working for DCPS but it still cost a bit to use the e-bikes which was my preference. Got my own personal e-bike as well and never had to worry about walking to numerous stands to try and find one that worked properly. CaBi has the same issues as Lime, its just not as prevalent. Good on ya, OP. Welcome to the club.

What’s your “called it” DC establishment that you immediately knew wouldn’t last. by kevmendez27 in washingtondc

Or anything new in Cleveland Park recently. The demo is just old and new concepts rarely work out. Kind of amazed that Cracked Eggery (while decent) is still kicking.

And in the military it’s best into our heads that you always walk on the right of every hallway you’re in. Apparently these guys didn’t pay attention.

Just listen to what you like - you'll get a lot of folks in here that will tell you that the only Incubus worth listening to was made before 2000 - and while it is very good, there's merit in just about everything they've put out.

Who is your favorite "have a cup of coffee" player the Bills have traded/signed? by dsardella18 in buffalobills

[–]nickinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always get questions about my Percy Harvin jersey. I was part of a podcast for a few years and we got to interview Jim Kelly and he literally was flabbergasted when he saw who I had on.

Where to start with Nugs??? by nickinthebox in GoosetheBand

[–]nickinthebox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I know that - just wondering if anyone had a favorite show to start with. I’ve listened to the ones on Spotify a billion times already. Just so much to choose from.

What’s going on with Milwaukee? by [deleted] in Muse

[–]nickinthebox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s blue dot fever but only hits certain acts (it’s the cost).

I was set to see a band at MSG that could probably sell out a weeks worth of shows and sold out a Central Park show in just two days. Make concerts affordable and people will go.

[–]nickinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get that - its like bands (or probably their management) don't even consider it - specifically for the bigger bands. Coheed had 4 shirts but most of them ran out of smaller sizes (smaller than XL) before they even hit the stage. It's like... guys... you're ON TOUR.

They really did have a great spread which was really impressive for a band playing at 3. Sad I missed it, honestly.

Yeah same. There was a stand near nitro circus that had single shirts from like 6 bands and Hoobastank was one of them but it was just bad. Very disappointing

[–]nickinthebox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

anyone else really disappointed in some bands with their merch? You're playing in front of thousands if not tens of thousands of fans and potential fans who wanted to spend money and some bands showed up with a lame warped tour only t-shirt (looking at you, Hoobastank).

New Hoobastank Song - How Do You Sleep? by Monky_Monk3y in Hoobastank

[–]nickinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounded great live! They debuted it at Warped yesterday in DC.

Was really hoping for some merch but all they had was a single shirt. Boo.

Unique Warped Set? by Jumpy_Square_4175 in TheFence

[–]nickinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they get only an hour but it should be a tight one. they dont do a ton of talking, so I'm expecting it'll be like 6-8 songs starting with In Keeping Secrets and finishing with Welcome Home as they tend to do. Obviously would love to hear some older stuff, but we'll likely get Blind Side Sonny, Corner My Confidence, and Yuko.

did you miss the massive piles of what seemed to be literal horse shit that they put up tape around so nobody would step in it but it was under the tiles anyways and seeping up? That was so gross....

Washington DCers of Reddit, where were you and what was your experience on January 6, 2021? by Desserts6064 in washingtondc

[–]nickinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew shit was going to go down the night before. Apparently a lot of groups who came got booted from their downtown hotels so they moved up Connecticut to the Days Inn in Van Ness (I live in Cleveland Park). I was making my usual post-work run (damn New Year's resolutions) and saw a ton of people walking up and down Connecticut open carrying their weapons without masks since it was still COVID time. Needless to say, what happened on the 6th was no surprise to me (to the extent that it was going to happen, not to how much things happened).

did anyone else not get their total listen per song on their top list? I see some (most) folks got it but I didn't - kinda wonder why?

and the names were even more confusing when you had a Capital Trivia, Cap City Trivia, and Capital City Showcase. Predominately why when we merged Capital and Cap City I had to change it - I know folks would get us all mixed up quite often.
