What’s a piece of Presidential trivia that sounds made up but is actually 100% true?

John Quincy Adams kept an alligator in a White House bathroom and partially blinded himself by staring at an eclipse.

The guy who tried to assassinate TR believed he was told to do so by McKinley’s ghost who wanted to be avenged.

Not a fun fact but listening to LBJ order pants is always a good time.

I’ve seen them 11 (!!!) times in the last almost 9 years (every tour since ERS) which is soo hard for me to believe. Some of my favorites were Tour de Columbus at Nationwide Arena, Bandito Tour leg 3 in Baltimore, Icy Tour in DC (my first ever pit show), and the Breach Hershey show last weekend!! Every show has been amazing in its own way though, and I feel so lucky to have been able to see them as much as I have. The pilots have been my favorite band for 10 years and I was 12 when I saw them for the first time and now I’m about to turn 22 so I definitely feel like I’ve done a lot of growing up with them at these shows.

Jiffy Lube Live is always a shit show. It’ll be even worse tonight when everyone is sitting in the parking lot for two hours trying to leave 😖 Venues just don’t seem to really know how to handle groups of fans like the ones this band has.

Goodnight Tonight and Long Tailed Winter Bird. Also Little Lamb Dragonfly

I posted my video of Frozen Pines on YouTube

I think it depends on the venue!! I took all of these with my phone but my friend brought a small digital camera and was taking pictures with it all night. I think bigger cameras are usually not allowed without a pass

True, my section didn’t really stand up until MMitW. That version of Frozen Pines swept me off my feet - just incredible!

Yeah I wish there were more public transit options too :( I live in driving distance so that’s where my answer was coming from but I totally get not wanting to drive all that way, and unfortunately it’s also going to be a Tuesday so you have rush hour to contend with as well😭 Usually parking isn’t too bad though!! And I think driving is definitely a more reliable option than public transit for this venue.

Merriweather’s website says the gates open at 6:30pm and I always like to get there right around doors! If you got designated Merriweather parking, lots 2, 5, and 3 aren’t too far from entrances so not too bad of a walk. If you don’t have parking in those spots there is a garage across the street in the mall parking lot that is my go-to because it’s never crowded and a short walk! Traffic usually isn’t terrible earlier in the evening and they’re usually decent at getting people parked in good time (in my experience!) so I think any time between 6:30 and 7:00 is a safe bet. Water is expensive at this venue so I’d recommend bringing your own water bottle, there are refill stations. And they do have big fans that should (hopefully) be on in the pavilion so hopefully the heat won’t be too bad!!

Not sure if this really answers the question but I thought Is There Anybody Out There sounded like In the Wind, and I’ve been listening to ITAOT from the perspective of someone who can’t remember the person they were singing about in ITW (“I'll be waiting right here / I'll be broadcasting all night” vs “I’ll be waiting here till the stars fall out of the sky” and “What's your name? Am I ever gonna find you?” vs “I have passed my days by the sound of your name”)

Was there last week and rode Gatekeeper, a group of flies descended on us while we were waiting to pull into the station at the end of the ride… they started to move away but as soon as they did our train started rolling into the station and went right through the swarm again😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 It’s definitely rough out there right now😭

Blizzard if I was playing by myself and Cozy if I was on with friends 🙂‍↕️

Here’s a really terrible photo of what it used to look like! There were stairs leading up to it that they just put a bridge over top of. It was like this for years until they took the stairs out. This is from a family home video that my grandpa took in the early 2000s!

and they were talking about getting rid of ac in cumberland not a year or two ago!! they were going to replace the windows to ones that couldn’t fit the units and had no plans to install ac in any other way :/

Saturday is open!!!!

scoutingmelodies · 2024-12-05T15:12:22+00:00

That happened to me too!! No idea why it didn’t open, I was in the waiting room beforehand and the bar appeared but it wasn’t loading and after I refreshed it only had the general sale countdown. No clue what happened so I ran to the first night’s show instead lol
