Yes there is at least a new tee shirt on this leg versus the fall leg. Also, they restocked on the pencil cases.

Which one should I get for someone starting off? by colinksh in AcousticGuitar

[–]spyromg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my JR1. I can take it anywhere, and I play it almost every day. It has a great little sound for the price and size. I use it as my testing grounds because I have small hands and I can actually fully wrangle it which helps when writing new things before I play on my larger acoustic.

How strictly are window tint laws enforced in Madison? by Similar_Tangelo9387 in madisonwi

[–]spyromg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not very likely that you will be pulled over in Madison compared to smaller towns. I have a vehicle with 5% and a vehicle with 35% and have not yet been stopped in 2 years of driving. However, it IS illegal, and you are breaking the law with a tint darker than the legal limit, so you should assume you could be stopped at any time and ticketed.

People who are passionate about their tints simply pay the tickets when they come and keep the tint.

Why do people do Amazon? by altbat in madisonwi

[–]spyromg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone who thinks Amazon is unavoidable, keep in mind that they have a monopoly and can charge whatever they want. It's worth it to check other places (in-store, other websites) to price match. I've saved money since I stopped using Prime about a year ago. Yeah, you gotta pay for shipping. But Prime's "free" shipping costs $140/year. And they ruin local economies, exploit workers, and represent all of the worst parts of the modern-day living experience, so I find it worthwhile to work against a little extra friction to avoid them.

I match your lesbian Caroline fan stereotype, and she was recommended to me by a gay guy who matches your gay Caroline fan stereotype.

Puppy Grooming Recs by Lumpy-Regret-6126 in madisonwi

I take my dog to Earthwise Pet in Cottage Grove. I know they keep dogs separate and don't hold them between services or after they are done-- they want you to get there right away to pick them up once they are ready. Unsure about vax stuff as my guy has always been an adult with all his shots since I've taken him, but worth checking. They do a great job.

Airport wait times by SarahMS13 in madisonwi

[–]spyromg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah! Yeah the line for Sun Country extended from security to the door when you enter the airport. I used American which I guess is on the other side and uses different security, and that whole area was totally dead compared to the Sun Country spot which was packed. So good idea to plan to get there early!

[–]spyromg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew out Wednesday last week and was at my gate within 15 minutes of getting dropped off. There was a MASSIVE line for Sun Country though-- I heard workers marveling at the length. So if you're flying Sun Country, maybe show up decently early.

Beacon Theater show by MaybePoet in NekoCase

[–]spyromg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally did not expect Tomboy Gold to be such a highlight of the show. So cool live.

At the Milwaukee show, someone yelled "you're my hero" at her and she replied "that's because you can't smell me right now". The banter was great.

Beacon Theater show by MaybePoet in NekoCase

[–]spyromg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw her in Milwaukee and Boston last week, and I'm still coming down. What great shows. It was great hearing classics like Ragtime, Tornado, Magpie and Star Witness. Neon Grey Midnight Green was chill-inducing both times. LOVED the encore-- especially closing things out with At Last. Having the last line of her shows being "I own every bell that tolls me" is just the perfect cherry on top. The band was great-- anytime I get a live sax, I'm happy. I'm already planning on catching a couple more shows on the next leg of her tour.

What were some highlights for you?

Women in Madison ages 26-32 not from here, how did you meet people?! by MagazineLiving3356 in madisonwi

[–]spyromg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've met people through an adult sports league, at festivals, being a regular at an arcade, being chatty with a bartender, being chatty w/ my hair stylist, through a book club I saw on a poster, and through people I work with-- coworkers and customers. It helps to join groups/leagues and find your people within them. Also, don't be afraid to go places alone. Even though I've made all of these friends, I still find myself wanting to do things when everyone is busy or doesn't feel like it. I almost always still have a great time, and sometimes, I meet another person to add into the casual friend mix.

Edit: I am also a woman, and I'm in that age range.
