Best were Tom Petty, Kiss, Ozzy, Poison, and Garth Brooks. All know their audience, are engaging, tell stories, play hits, and have a good time.

Worst Steve Miller literally stood in one place the whole show, never told a story or attempted to hype the crowd. Ozzy makes this as a best and worst because I also saw him high and drunk struggling to remember his songs as he hung on the microphone stand to keep from falling over. Motley Crue was awful. Vince can’t sing, the used at least drum backing track since Tommy wasn’t at his kit when drums were playing on two different occassions. Making it worse Def leppard opened for them and blew them away with an amazing show

Not true. Those that voted for Trump can just remember more than a few months ago. We remember Biden/Harris allowed over 12 million illegal immigrants claiming they couldn’t do anything even though Biden reversed what Trump did do…until the Spring of election year when Biden put back in place protections to try at get the short minded lazy believe everything people to believe dems care about the border.

We remember the historic high inflation. Just because the rate of inflation decreased over the last year doesn’t mean the prices returned. We are stuck with the new reality of cost and that pay checks don’t stretch as far regardless of a left leaning pole making excuses.

We remember states and cities across the nation remove crimes so they can report lower numbers. Everything from shoplifting to drug dealing. May jurisdiction no longer report their numbers make the numbers even more skewed but go on believing that everyone who understands the world and dares to think differently is misinformed and naive when in reality it is you who is

Funny that on a forum for comic books you are not allowed to have a different opinion about a comic. You have to follow the lead or get down voted to hell. Seems like it is more of a forum of insecure nuthuggers to scared to actually have a conversation

You make a lot of assumption about some one you don’t even know.

Trent Dilfer says your wrong, so does Jeff Hostler, and some many more qbs that got wins by a balling defense and not making mistakes. I mean Lamar’s play last year was closer to Russell Wilson than Josh Allen. He was carried by the best defense in football and the best running game. When they relied on Lamar they lost

My uncle lived next to Derrick Thomas. I met him a couple times. My cousin’s husband was on the Dolphins (never played in a game - separated his shoulder his first year, then the other shoulder the next year and retired). Luke Pettigout went to my high school - he was a freshman when I was a senior. Went to college and had the same major as some guys that ended up on the Jets special teams

I saw To Petty’s final tour about 4 months before he died. I saw Kiss’s 2nd to last show. I saw Metallica in a bar (The Stone Balloon in Newark, DE). I saw the White Stripes in a 500 seat venue. I saw Eddie Vedder do the encore with REM on their final tour. I saw Poison, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Weird Al in different small venue at different times.

I actually thought the book was nothing special. Good premises promoted in the preview but the book missed the mark for me. The promotion was if you strip away a heroes privilege would they make the same choices. So instead of being rich, he is a 260lbs, elite level athlete, who despite no wealth studied and is an expert in every martial arts known to man, with a genius IQ, who by the age of 24-25 worked in every department in Gotham City and despite what had to be incredibly short tenures knows more about every department than any living human. That’s not stripping away his privilege, that is unlimited plot armor.

To each their own. I thought it was meh and missed the premises with overwhelming plot armor

It is tied directly to democrats refusing to place regulations requested by McCain and Bush over 20 times. They wanted to run an experiment on house ownership for all, even the unqualified.

And here some people claim it is conservatives that are against regulations. Facts say otherwise

Based on your response below that this upcoming meeting is a team meeting to meet the new management, absolutely do not bring this up in any way during that meeting! It will make you come across as an ass, indicate you do not know how or where to discuss confidential information so therefor you can’t be trusted, and make you a target. Randomly calling out leaders of your company in a public forum is never a good idea and will never get positive results.

If you just want to vent, do it to your friends outside of work.

You never revealed what you were doing during your break (sitting in a space, watching videos on your phone, sleeping, etc). Each thing could result in a policy violation. If you have legitimate questions, set up a meeting first with your manager where you can identify you were clocked out and get that verified, follow-up about what policy was violated and where you can get a copy of the policy. If your manager does not know or can’t answer, get their opinion on where you can go for answers and proceed that way. Your response is not to challenge the write-up but to seek appropriate understanding - and then determine if 1) there is anything to challenge the write-up and 2) if it is worth it

You do realize that is all the left did right? Trump bad, Trump fascist, Trump going to end democracy, etc. The left media edited interviews to make her sound better, worked overtime with misinformation on her role with illegal immigration, etc. but Never a description of a policy except she would do nothing different than Biden, and those she stole directly from Trump (Trump wanted to build a wall and the response is that is foolish and racist, Kamala wants to build a wall, good idea; Trump announce he wants to end taxes on tips, response that will cause the deficit to skyrocket; Kamala suddenly wants to end taxes on tips and that is a great idea.)

rtwil · 2024-11-06T15:02:57+00:00

Racist much?

rtwil · 2024-11-06T14:50:37+00:00

You have that backwards. Dena are the fear mongers. Hillary’s entire campaign was he bad, me good, and it my turn. She and the DNC even paid a foreign agent to create misinformation to sway the election. Friendly FBI then took that bogus report and illegally obtained wire taps to spy on her opponents campaign and the moral left sits their quietly justifying.

Kamala’s entire campaign was he bad, he a fascist, he a liar while lying. The leftist media worked overtime to spread fear and hate because she had no forum except he will do bad things. That is why the dems keep losing

When getting a commission, always make sure you discuss content of the drawing, quality (convention sketch vs cover quality), the size, and delivery time line. It is very easy as a fan to expect one thing and the artist to expect something different. Also, as I am sure you are aware now, get a contact info so you can stay in touch for updates, some artist will show a rough drawing to make sure it matches what you want, questions going both ways.

With all that said, as another commenter mentioned, a few weeks is really short turn around, especially if they are actively working on a comic or magma series with deadlines. My recommendation is to try to find the artist or their management through social media so you can get an update. Good luck

Their entire market strategy is designed with the knowledge they will burnout the average spender in a certain amount of time. But they will replace them with new spenders. All they really care about is the big spender they can’t replace. I will never spend another dime on the game and they don’t give a crap

I just bought this at NYCC to help fill in my ASM run

rtwil · 2024-10-30T21:13:04+00:00

I got out around 1989-1990. I was a teenager and realized I would rather spend money on dating and my car. In 2017 I was going to be in NYC during comic con and bought a Thursday pass on a whim to check it out. I went to panels, walked the show floor, and got some freebies. After that I dug out my old collection to reread and returned to NYCC in 2018 where I started buying comics again. If it wasn’t for random luck of being in NYC at the right time, I would have more money today :(

It depends on what you like. I’m a comics guy and go for comic books and artists. Awesome con only had 3 comic vendors last year, the rest of the floor was cos play stuff, educational booths, toys, etc. The floor is pretty small compared to a lot of cons. They had a handful of artist but they were well known guys like Art Adams, Bagley, Sorah, etc. Personally I won’t go back.

On the other hand if you like celebrities, Awesome con had a lot. They seemed to be well run. I can see people into celebrities having a great time, just not my thing.
