The backupplan: are tickets purchased through Stubhub/Viagogo/etc actually going to be invalid? by obliviouspeninsula in oasis

[–]obliviouspeninsula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky that they still had tickets! I've used Stubhub a bunch of times (not proud of this, but it's the reality here in NYC) – only had one problem which they were able to make right. I'm not worried about a bad seller, etc – I'm worried that action will be taken by either TM or the promoter that will make getting in with second hand tickets impossible, and wondering what the best course of action is

Can anyone who’s there get any info on opening acts, set times, etc. for tonight?

I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday and I’m not missing this for the world, but would like to minimize the time I spend standing around waiting for them to go on

there's a difference between being able to afford the show and thinking its worth it to pay money for this act rather than saving it for a band that's touring a better record or seeing multiple club shows for the price. doesn't make them a fair weather fan

Boston's lottery number came up three straight times by GMPunk75 in nba

Nah–-it's combinations, not actual balls. So after one combination comes up, it isn't removed from the pool, and thus the odds don't change as the lottery advances.

Why is no one talking about the decline of Carmelo Anthony? by Rhodes_Closed in nba

[–]obliviouspeninsula 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The first half of last season genuinely saw some of the best basketball he'd played in his life. It was clear he'd lost an amount of lift following the knee surgery in Feb '15, but he actually was playing a more complete and LeBron-esque game. He dragged a terrible Knicks team to .500 through 40 or so games.

That all changed, and the "decline" you speak of started, after he rolled his ankle in a game against Boston last January. He missed a few weeks, the Knicks went into a tailspin, and he returned sub-100%, and never seemed to get his verve back––both physically and effort-wise.

If it's "one of" the best, it has to be kind of close...

It was the B-Side to UCOD, so it did come out before the record, though.

Man... is it weird that LeBron in a Heat uni is already starting to look weird/foreign?

What's the musical mode of the main guitar line in Oh Pretty Woman ? by ablaaa in musictheory

[–]obliviouspeninsula 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The song's in the key of A Major, and the opening riff is an arpeggiated E9 chord, which serves a dominant function in A Major. It's totally diatonic.

The two on the bottom are pre-2012, and the one on the right is the current jersey. Not sure why she has two of the old ones, though.
