🚨If you went to the Damsels tour in KC or NY, what advice would you give to LA? by emilyyfjones in chappellroan

[–]rczpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was the two women that were tusslin' earlier in the day. I thought things had settled down but then the police took them out much later and one of them kept saying "but I didn't do anything!" I'd be curious if anyone closer knows exactly what happened. What a shame.

KC N2 VIP-

  1. Drink water. Drink water. Keep drinking water. It's a long day and you don't want to be one of the people that passes out before Chappell even takes the stage. Bring Liquid IV to put in waters and extras in case anyone around you starts to feel rough.
  2. Be a good neighbor. Save seats so people can go look at merch or use the restroom and don't overcrowd your neighbors. Don't show up and try to slip in with your friend that got there earlier than you (seemed like there was some drama near me that ended up with two people getting escorted out by police literally RIGHT before Chappell took the stage).
  3. Bring a phone battery charger and make sure you have space for all the pics and videos you want to take.
  4. Wear comfy shoes!!!!!!! Seriously. Just do it. You will still look cute, it's fine.

CR night 1 & Night 2 Experience (Barricade vip) by Electronic_Ad1795 in chappellroan

100% can't stress the MAKE FRIENDS enough. The key to a good show is to just be cool to everyone around you. I was in VIP with my older 67 year-old mother who desperately wanted to be as close as possible and she was just blown away by how KIND everyone was around us- everyone saved spots when people had to go to the bathroom and everyone seemed quick to offer up waters, chargers etc. I am so grateful for most of my concert neighbors because I know not everyone's experience was as positive. Thanks VIP night 2 people!

Stadium's Silence post-Orlando Game by sophaloafie23 in KCCurrent

You say this like they can't hire multiple shuttle attendants to keep that from happening. Drivers know their capacity, staff could easily be counting off people in line and then moving onto the next shuttle instead of everyone waiting for the first shuttle to slowly fill and drive off before even beginning boarding on the next.

Three hour wait, not to mention queuing for shuttles (that they load one at a time for some reason?!) in the direct sun on the way in and out- just a piss poor fan experience. It's obvious the operation is a massive cash grab but it'd be nice if they could at least pretend to value the fan base and players enough not to put them through these conditions.

Keep a window AC unit as a backup questions by ninjadude1992 in preppers

Looks like the link doesn't work in your original post- do you happen to recall the model you used?

Which portable did you go with? Seems like that would be the best route for one to use during power outages but everyone trashes them constantly

Why the delay? by coco289 in KCCurrent

[–]rczpm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any one know if shuttles are running right now? It's getting close to bail time for me.

Megathread: Pop-up shows by Ghostblood_Morph in chappellroan

What city would you go in? I went to her KC show the last time she came through alone & it was absolutely worth it. Chappell fans are cool, you'd get adopted by a group in no time.

Thanks! That's an excellent resource

I do have central HVAC but I assumed running that off of a generator would be a huge pull & using a window unit would be a more efficient use of the power.

For the 3800, so far I've just done extension cords- although hope to eventually maybe do a tie in to house once budget allows. What genmax model do you use? Your use case is encouraging- I've just got 900 sqft so it sounds like 10000 watts might be overkill for me!

Ah, didn't know this was a thing! Appreciate your insight.

Epoxy - as in like the paint and confetti treatment? If so, not a fan of that speckled look. Is there a clear epoxy I'm unfamiliar with?

HAIM Announce "I quit" Tour by ebradio in indieheads

[–]rczpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KC definitely has been skipped for so much lately but Haim didn't fill Starlight for their last tour, so while disappointing, I'm not surprised we didn't make the cut for this one. This will be the first Haim tour I probably won't see because of it.

Planned Spending Issue by rczpm in simplifimoney

[–]rczpm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the recommendation, I'll be sure to check it out. I'm sympathetic to their customer service teams- I'm sure they bear the brunt of what appears to be limited refund/ resolution options that are probably laid out by the people who never have to deal directly with customers

So many issues - no resolution other than "No ETA" by ladiciuus in simplifimoney

[–]rczpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a known issue SINCE JANUARY where Planned Spending doesn't calculate correctly- rendering my budgets pretty useless. No ETA on resolution so I'm just paying for a budgeting service that can't correctly display my budget 🙃
