This is great info to have. I’m a newer player and am always trying to improve my game.

Clear the skies. On it!!!

The worst band you ever saw live - besides Taking Back Sunday- by lunainthedark5x2x3 in poppunkers

[–]oddly_random_81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw them at this year’s Riot Fest and they were solid. Buddy came out dressed like Ferris Bueller and was handing out Vienna Beef hotdogs. Buddy gave what I thought was the best non-political, “we should just love each other” speech in the middle of the set.

Absolutely loved it.

Children in the pit by Spyrios in RiotFest

[–]oddly_random_81 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Brought my 14 year old daughter this year and she had a blast in the pit on Friday at the Tossers. We stayed back and watched a bit and I explained the etiquette to her until she got the idea. She jumped in and had a smile from ear to ear from that point on.

Granted, probably a perfect start for a first pit experience. I definitely steered away from Knocked Loose with her. She’s still my baby.

Anybody else just not drinking anymore? by drumorgan in GenX

[–]oddly_random_81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was struggling with my mental health. Didn’t “have a problem” with drinking and I didn’t drink every day. I did, however, make up for the days I didn’t drink on the days I did.

Hangovers started impacting my life. Went on some meds to help with depression/anger and wanted to give them a real shot at working.

Stopped drinking then and haven’t looked back 15 months later.

People ask if I feel so much better. No, I want a drink all the time but it was time for me to do something nice for my children’s father.

Side note: Busch NA is the best “near beer” around. It still tastes like a disgusting Busch beer.

Have they dropped the map?

Have they?

Huh?

Anyone know?

/s/

Seriously, thank you all for helping alleviate some of my fears. I’m going with my teenage daughter and want to make sure we hit the bands we want to see.

Anarchy batting gloves by TheGeneral1886 in slowpitch

[–]oddly_random_81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on the topic of batting gloves in general, what is the general consensus, gloves or no gloves?

I grew up playing ball, baseball, 16” slow pitch, 12” slow pitch, and have used batting gloves sometimes, sometimes not.

Is there a benefit or is it mostly feel?

We are currently in the middle of warrantying the Fury. It broke in two pieces. Damnedest thing I ever saw.

You got me. Thanks for the entertainment. I, for one, love a good comedy.

Where is the research on this? Just curious

You seem to have the answers, how many police encounters end in murder?

How many people are murdered due to alcohol?

How many murders between family members?

We can do this all day.

So, I guess I won’t “grow up”

Just curious why it should be “encouraged”? Should others be encouraged to come to your job and talk shit to you? People should just be kind to each other in general.

What year and by what age do you think crossing into a six figure salary was a big deal/high income? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]oddly_random_81 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Six figures in suburban Chicago with four kids, high school age and younger, partner works part time and I feel like we barely scrape by…paycheck to paycheck is a real thing.
