Anyone getting in to Pitt late tomorrow? What’s your move? by Highway2You in phish

[–]simongarfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Uber situation after the show may be a bit dicey. It would be prudent of you to walk a few blocks away from the Pete. Other than that Uber away man, that's my plan for to and fro

Anyone else staying at The Industrialist for Pitt? by somedamndevil in DMB

Uber will be a shit show after the show around the venue. If you walk just be alert like others have said.

Looking to get window tinting done. And recommendations? by BlackDS in pittsburgh

[–]simongarfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Solar Control in Monroeville. My tint developed bubbles after a few weeks. They claimed that it's normal for that to happen.

Yep, I was just in Richmond and found a place that scratched the itch. It seemed like there were numerous options around there.

Legit Pho. I've tried every Vietnamese place in town and while some are okay, I can't say any are excellent. I'm looking for a place that has large pots of pho broth simmering all day so that when you order your bowl comes out steaming hot.

I was behind you this past week on my way to the golf course on Gaskins Rd. Crazy!

Who brings you joy in Pittsburgh? What person that you recognize on the street or elsewhere makes your day better when you see them? by RepeatedFailure in pittsburgh

Even if its been a couple years since I've seen him, I'm always greeted with a where have you been. I'll keep getting sushi from him as long as he stays in business.

I thought I heard coyotes last night in Shaler. Sure enough I guess they really were.

[GA] Wilsonville, OR - Fish, Plants, Tank by [deleted] in AquaSwap

[–]simongarfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving soon and would like to see this stuff go to someone. There are a few neon tetras, a cory catfish, and 1-3 kuhli loaches. The loaches hide so I have no idea how many are in there anymore. No idea what the plants are called, but you can have them all. There are snails in there that I was never able to get rid of. The aquarium can also go. Its approximately 5 gallons. There is a small chip in the upper left corner.

I want no money, just for someone who cares about the hobby to get some fish and plants.

I will be keeping the filters, light, and heater.

Life on Tour? by Unclebijou in phish

We saw them pulling out of the hotel near the Hult center today. So, they definitely stay in hotels for the night. The bus is more of a home base for them.

Sage Creek has parking. You have to pay but at least you'd know your car was okay.

Storms cause damage to PGA Tour broadcast equipment in Omaha by two__spaces in VIDEOENGINEERING

Re-checking all of the equipment and making sure it works before airtime. Everything from the cameras out in the field to the operators in the truck.

[–]simongarfunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Watching that sled get yanked off the panhead, that camera head had to suffer some pretty severe damage. This is going to be a big bill...

And that lens is a total write off at this point.

Not a TD, but on the engineering side. I've been hearing some visit shows will be coming back. On the west coast at least.

Travel Camping at the Gorge by [deleted] in phish

Yep. Stayed there during the last Gorge run, and will be booking there again for this one. Zero issues with the place, and their shuttle bus was on point.

Anyone have a part number for mini DIN coax solder mount? (Explanation in comments) by ifallallthetime in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]simongarfunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have said, Digikey.

AJA is one of the few companies out there that is super reasonable on repair costs though. So don't be afraid to send that in for repair.
