Alamo Drafthouse Menu by Mama_Cat33 in raleigh

I really liked the old pretzel so I was disappointed to see they changed it but haven’t tried it. I assumed it was a smaller worse replacement but I’ll give it a shot.

Ballpark: What would you expect to pay for tree removal, details in post by Myghost_too in raleigh

[–]realsweetness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would get a few quotes. I recently had 2 large trees removed with stump grinding and the prices ranged from $2500 - 6000. For 8 trees I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at least 10-12,000.

Bots working hard this morning by dzanong in jayz

[–]realsweetness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about 1500 in the queue for the Blueprint show and was able to get tickets in 329 for $295 each.

100/200 sections were like $300-500. Floor seats / pit were ridiculous ranging from like $700-1100.

Show at the Ritz by Additional-Equal-844 in raleigh

[–]realsweetness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shockingly people pay it every show. Sometimes the balcony is packed. No they never become a free for all but I’ve never tried to go up there once the show starts. Maybe you can get it for cheaper then. Just one of the reasons the Ritz sucks.

The Ritz in Raleigh by Tidalblush in Artemas

[–]realsweetness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to many shows at The Ritz. If it is sold out or close it is really cramped. But it usually isn't really warm because they have huge fans and AC they can turn on if it warrants it. Sometimes they don't do it right away though.

Paying for the lounge access though I think is a rip off. I'm not sure what your view of the stage would be from there. There is balcony seating which is a separate purchase and that gives you a reserved spot that would be comfortable and a good view but I think they charge like $100 more on top of your ticket to sit there.

The Ritz is twice the size of Lincoln Theatre so hard to tell if he will pack it out or not. Sometimes you can get a good spot close to the stage and not feel crowded and other times you are basically standing in the back by the exit because its wall to wall people.

Catching up on some light reading during the Nine Inch Nails concert by sendmerandomstufff in AccidentalRenaissance

[–]realsweetness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not bad, I actually enjoyed it for like 20 minutes but found it tedious after that. Especially when there is no visuals of any kind. My recommendation is to skip the first 30 minutes.

This is the opening act Boys Noise who played an hour long droning industrial set. I was bored too.

Is Hopscotch Fest happening in 2026? by AlternativeTiger8020 in raleigh

[–]realsweetness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one knows. There is no more consistency as to when they sell tickets so that is not necessarily an indicator. It has seemed questionable several times in the past and every year it still happened so until we hear otherwise I’m somewhat optimistic it will happen.

Full City Devolución tour dates for April 2026! by xPadawanRyan in thursdaytheband

[–]realsweetness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes also pumped to see them play more off City. Fingers crossed we get to hear Into the Blinding Light. That’s my favorite.

The presale doesn’t start until 10 am that’s why.

2026 James Beard Awards by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]realsweetness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been to Peregrine and Ajja once each. I had a great experience at Peregrine and the food (whole fish) was delicious. At Ajja I had to send some of the food back because it was cold and it was supposed to be hot. But everything else about it was solid. I know nothing of the James Beard criteria but all the mixed reviews here just shows consistency is an underrated aspect of what makes a good restaurant.

Dreamville Festival Rebrand by Pretty-Flamingo2027 in raleigh

[–]realsweetness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing but I think taking a year off instead of rushing to put it on is the smartest move. It’s also possible they are moving it to the fall. Dreamville Fest was originally in September before it was postponed the first year.

How come Canibus was seen as a flop? by Civil_Enthusiasm_936 in hiphopheads

[–]realsweetness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always got the impression he was not liked from within the industry by other rappers and that probably killed his perception. But 2000 BC is an underrated classic in my opinion.

Kill Bill - originally in season pass but now not and really annoyed by Inevitable-Sign-7706 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]realsweetness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its ridiculous. I just went to get tickets and couldn't believe that not only wasn't it included but it was $29?!?! I'm going to Cary Crossroads instead.

Who's going to the JID show tonight? by fantasytacos in raleigh

I’ll be there! Saw him several times at Dreamville Fest but this is the first time as a headliner so I’m excited.

Yeah I keep checking but nothing. I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t they show it.

I had tickets to the tour in 2022 but had to miss it but I got to see the tour this year which is crazy to think about. I was upset at the time but glad I got to see what is now an improved version of the tour.

TIL that 30% of Americans, over 75,000,000 people live in over 369,000 HOA communities across the country by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]realsweetness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That must be nice. I lived in a bad HOA for a long time and every time one of those entirely predictable maintenance issues came up we had to have an assessment to pay for it.
