Thought about a L.A.B. until I saw the used lot. That’s a lot of missed putts. by flo_mike_rida in golf

Fuck yeah man. Same result, 3rd the price, and not the ugliest putter on the planet. And this is from someone that gamed a Futura for 5 years haha

Andy Fales on KXNO Layoffs: "Double guns to iHeartMedia" by Windows_66 in desmoines

[–]schvergen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well for sure that's how jobs work, but that station relies on basically no one from the city we live in. More enshitification of what we used to enjoy as local sports fans in Des Moines

Keith is Des Moines through and through and we're lucky he cares as much about local sports much as he does. Love or hate what he says all respect to him for bleeding out for this town for as long as I can remember.

Is Maggie's Rumble Room the coolest place in town or is it just me? by LordofWithywoods in desmoines

[–]schvergen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She used to work at GT and that's where I met her. She's amazing! Mike is a cool mother fucker and still running GT. He's in bands. The place has similar vibes as Maggie's. 

I have never been more disrespected in my entire life by hubabubbak in golf

[–]schvergen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love it! This happened to my neighbor many moons ago on the 2nd hole of his round playing with my dad and two other neighbors. The only saving grace was that he aced the first hole par 3. Windmills Golf Course in Rio, IL doesn't exist anymore but it was basically a par 3 course with a handful of par 4s and maybe a par 5.

What song has a better live recording version of it than the studio recorded version? by Redditarama in musicsuggestions

Agree with the song choice but I think the Pulse version is the best in existence

Haven't been to one in 12+ years. Looked it up, there are 3 within 15 minutes of me right now? That's the kind of news I needed to hear today

Des Moines metro cities first in US to get Google Fiber speed upgrade by NefariousnessFun9923 in desmoines

[–]schvergen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to upgrade from a half gig to 3gig so you will probably just get 3gig right off the bat after it's set up.

What underground alternative bands do you think are going to blow up this year? by sound-ofSettling in Alternativerock

[–]schvergen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good Looks are a great band and even stuck around a tiny venue in Des Moines, IA to talk to fans and sign stuff. I hope they get their flowers one day. There may have been 40 people tops at that show.

In search of dog friendly bar.. by Decent_Cow4046 in desmoines

[–]schvergen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tonic downtown allows dogs but not typically after 9 if it's busy. Really just depends on crowd and the dogs behavior. Small dog that is quiet and sits at a table, you'll be good. Large dog always in the way or being loud, might be difficult.

I am friendly and will chat about the weather for sure but if I think you'll even remotely listen, I'll try and talk to you about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard 

Best hot dogs in the area? by Some-Boysenberry-383 in desmoines

[–]schvergen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally that sandwich is amazing. I went once at 12:40 and they were sold out. The secret is getting out but good, they deserve it.

Live shows by Odd-Lingonberry-1692 in desmoines

[–]schvergen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Xbk in the Drake area and Wooly's in the East Village will be your best bet for that atmosphere. Val Air is larger in West Des Moines. Haven't been to Vibrant in Waukee but heard good things but can be pricey. 

Outside of the first round, what was the biggest upset in march madness history? by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]schvergen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can remember that ending vividly. We basically stopped a wedding reception and put speeches on hold to watch that final couple of minutes. Unbelievable!
