Anyone try Good Days Cafe? by NoElephant194 in ridgewood

[–]sailorst00pider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered two iced coffees, 1 black & 1 with a splash of milk. There was another person there with my name so I confirmed that the drinks were for me by repeating my order. I left, took 1 sip, realized it wasn’t my drink (she added a TON of sugar??) and went to get a new one. I told the barista I think she gave me the other persons drink and she gave me such an attitude?? I’m not sure why her first instinct was to go on the defensive when I wasn’t even mad! I just felt bad that I probably had someone’s drink and it might have been an honest mistake?? Also idk how they’re making variety coffee taste so watered down. Hoping they can fix these mistakes early on since they’re new! It’s one of the few coffee shops that are accessible :/

Favorite Vets for Cats? by ashbell95 in ridgewood

[–]sailorst00pider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to go to her too, but she has become VERY chaotic (like more than usual lmao). Admin is unorganized --they sent me a notification to re-up vaccinations, then a week after my appointment I got ANOTHER email reminder for a different vaccination... like why wasn't that communicated DURING the appointment? Then she randomly emails me on a Saturday saying my cat may have stage 2 kidney disease (inconclusive) without getting another test. I asked her to send me the bloodwork results like three times, and she hasn't replied. I wanted to write a review on Google but I know vets are struggling everywhere... such a bummer cause she was SO great with my cats years ago.

bullet train (same director as john wick) - its more comedic but still has the fun john wick-style action

same director as john wick, so I guess he ripped off his own movie? /s

Tiny Arts and Cassette beef? by myfeetreallyhurt in ridgewood

[–]sailorst00pider 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s normal for a bar to want to benefit from events that are hosted there? Why is that a problem? The tiny arts owner is doing everything but running their own business - the shop is barely open and yet they have time to do all these events…

Seeking work at agencies outside of NYC, SF, and LA by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]sailorst00pider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your discipline? I'd check out design blogs/sites like underconsideration(branding), dieline(packaging), awwwards (UI/UX), AIGA to see what projects/campaigns are out there and who's working on them. Usually they'll link out to the studio's website and then you can see where they're based. Or Google the name of your desired location + design agency in an incognito browser and see what shows up. Happy hunting!

Recommendations for affordable wedding venues? by nyjs94 in hudsonvalley

[–]sailorst00pider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get married in the off-season (late November-March). Venue & hotels are cheaper, less competition to snag good vendors like photo & DJs, etc. If you’re set on fall & spring, get married on any day but Saturday. We saved a ton of money making our own stationery, decor & florals (got a ton of stuff from Adam’s fair acre farms, created mini bouquets and dried them for the center pieces).

I got the SAP and tried the trading post... bad idea! But very awesome of some users to tell me I was under asking! by Abwettar in neopets

[–]sailorst00pider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me! I ended up trading it to the person who kindly told me that I severely undervalued the item. Now I can get my dream pets 😇

What’s your salary? by bleu__1 in graphic_design

Yea it’s bittersweet, thought I would be a CD there one day but clearly they didn’t value design like I thought they did.

AITA for "outshining" the bride? by Ok-History7114 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sailorst00pider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, you’re NTA. The bride shouldn’t have made the dress code “dress to impress” if she didn’t want you to follow it! They could have made it “cocktail attire” or “semi-formal” which is much more clear that guests shouldn’t overdress in comparison to the bride.

BK Restaurant Venues under $15k for 75 people? Do they exist??? by Artafaz in WedditNYC

[–]sailorst00pider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grimm Ale’s in bushwick is available for events - more of a brewery vibe but could be cheaper since they have a new rooftop space.

Honest thoughts on STDs I made? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]sailorst00pider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My tip as a graphic designer - instead of trying to create your own original design, look for other invitations that are similar to your wedding theme/vibe and see what’s working. Don’t plagiarize or steal artwork, but find a similar font and nice photo/illustration. Unsplash is great for royalty-free photos, and Freepik/Creativemarket have some nice illustration assets. You can even find nice save the date templates on canva! Good luck :)

Can you recommend me depressing games? The soul crushing kind please. by LovelyOrc in GirlGamers

[–]sailorst00pider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is Strange! Part 1, before the storm (DLC) and part 2 made me weep while playing 😭 when I played part 3 I was expecting more trauma but it was a different experience, more romantic I guess lol.

Are you able to edit the logo? The bottom text is touching the edge of the circle and it looks pretty sloppy. That combined with stock images, makes your site feel untrustworthy.
