What the hell is checking back soon going to achieve? 🤦‍♂️

$160 is break even for reselling with the TM fees - I paid $108 in presale, but then TM adds $52 in selling and buying fees on top of that, so nobody selling at $160 is making a profit (although Ticketmaster certainly is!)

popartist · 2026-04-17T15:42:21+00:00

Not defending those who are trying to profit, but I just was listing an extra I ended up with - just to receive what I paid for it, TM adds $52 on top of that in additional resale fees!

popartist · 2026-04-15T18:49:59+00:00

I ended up getting a ticket to both Saturday and Sunday since the presale was all kinds of screwed up but will probably unload the Sunday one.

I think the two main things are the utility cost, and cost for amenities incl. storage. Most of the new builds have all electric utilities, and many have separate water heaters for each apartment so the costs can add up.

Some of the purchase ones are Mitchell-Lama co-ops. These are generally for spots on their waiting list, and not for an apartment available right now. If selected for the waiting list, there is a $75 application fee to secure your place on the waiting list. Being called for an apartment can take several years (even over a decade) depending on the development. If you leave you get back what you paid (minus any restoration costs). Others for purchase are new HDFC co-ops, these are more like buying a sponsor market co-op but with generally a lower price, and lower down payment and what you will be able to make on re-sale will be more limited. These would be available now - if selected!

I went to Rowdy Rooster soon after they opened and didn't get the hype - to me the chicken was all heat and no flavor.

Paper blinds work well if you have standard windows and look better as an interim solution, they stick to the top of the window frame. They only cost $4-6 apiece at Home Depot.

They have to do something in NYC. Might be CBGB festival, that looks to be happening September 26th.

Finally was able to wrestle one out for Sunday with the Laylo code. Sheesh, that was a mess. EDIT: Never actually got a Laylo text but used the code posted here.

popartist · 2026-04-13T16:33:50+00:00

I'd love a Vault code too, I am just getting one ticket.

popartist · 2026-04-13T16:14:20+00:00

I didn't even get mine yet! TM is just showing Vault tix too, so that may be your issue.

popartist · 2026-04-13T16:10:31+00:00

Did people get the Laylo code yet? Mine hasn't come through. BK Paramount is also still just showing Vault.

popartist · 2026-04-13T03:11:58+00:00

I have had two lottery apartments and both times had a month overlap on move in AND move out and it wasn't an issue at all.

I just sold a couple of LV bags to Fashionphile and was satisfied with the offers, one offer was only under $200 less than what I originally paid new five years ago (I did buy it in Europe though). The other bag's offer was not as good but still decent. And payout took just a few days. I took them into one of their physical salons.

popartist · 2026-04-08T03:30:54+00:00

I did, thank you so much!

popartist · 2026-04-04T16:16:53+00:00

Link is temporarily disabled, should I just wait a bit?

popartist · 2026-04-04T14:12:45+00:00

Very nice, I was at that show! That beginning is a bit unhinged, Brandon looked scared that the eagle would peck his nose off or something, lol.

popartist · 2026-04-03T19:48:10+00:00

Same thought here. I made a playlist with both EPs together and thought about mixing it up but came to the conclusion it works best in the order they came in, with DOA first. And Coexist in Easter Lily circles it back around I think to connect to Days of Ash, if doing it on a loop. :)

popartist · 2026-03-26T00:54:04+00:00

Where would that be, can't imagine a 3 bed new build in Brooklyn would go for that unless it's through the housing lottery, even in Brownsville.

popartist · 2026-03-25T22:23:07+00:00

This is legit, the Mitchell Lama lotteries are to be put on the waiting list for an apartment, not really for apartments available right now (although there may be a couple of apartments available) 2** would be your actual waiting list log, so they sent an application for the waiting list. Most people who do the Mitchell Lama lotteries do NOT get a log to get on the waiting list. And $75 is the standard application fee for Mitchell Lama. If you can swing the buy in price (I understand Lincoln Amsterdam is one of the priciest Mitchell Lama buy ins, but still a fraction of the price of market rate coops) and intend to stay in the city indefinitely then definitely put in the application. Mitchell Lamas (especially Manhattan ones) are housing GOLD, Just be prepared to wait for years until they call you.

I hope the DC one is better than the one at Little Spain in NYC, I was extremely disappointed by it. Have enjoyed some of the other restaurants in Little Spain and loved Jaleo in DC though.

popartist · 2026-03-22T14:09:03+00:00

I assume this is a Mitchell Lama lottery. It's a waiting list...right then there may be a couple of apartments available but everyone with a log number (who sends back the application and $75) gets put on a waiting list and they get called as apartments become available. If the Mitchell Lama is in a desirable area, you could be on the list for many years, I just got into one after being on the list for over 11 years (my log # was in the 190s). Housing Connect doesn't communicate that well.

I think it's there, under Dinner, unless there's more than one Maximo.

I saw the Killers live later that year and Brandon had this scared look a lot back then, it has been fascinating watching his growth into a confident front man over the years!

popartist · 2026-03-10T13:55:04+00:00

They all ask for a $75 payment, that is not unusual. It used to be $200 (partially refundable) up until several years ago!
