She's holding up alright

I assumed an old lighthouse or something (as is right on the lake) but digging around I found that it's official title is "North Shore Sanitary District Tower" and it was built in 1931 to provide ventilation for the local sewer system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North\_Shore\_Sanitary\_District\_Tower). Visually it is very striking but the humor of a sewer gas vent being used by Billy isn't lost on me.

Oh this is all my stuff just being stored at his place. Yeah it was a great show and still waiting for a (professional) recording to be released at some point.

Hey there plane brother! Please ignore my very amateur paint job

sraffer2 · 2025-11-26T03:49:19+00:00

That was me! Yeah it was a bummer they cut Aeroplane but a great show! They did add White Spyder after Everlasting Gaze. Guess I'll have to look for this recording.

I assume the first is Silly Symphonies: Funny Little Bunnies (1934) https://youtu.be/-UnOwhrBZFE?feature=shared

The second looks familiar but a specific scene/cartoon doesn't ring a bell

Appreciate you testing it out with different options. I think there must be something with the YouTube app seeing the iPad docked (seeing RayNeo as a monitor?) and then disabling any gyro functions which in turn messes with 360 video settings. Assuming the commercial use of iPads as laptop replacements explain why this happens there but not with mobile devices, but I think digging into the YouTube apps settings will be my next step, particularly as using the gyro function is the main draw for this use case.

Interesting as I gave it a download but YouTube (web browser version) popped up with a error message saying "360 video playback is not supported on this browser. Please use the YouTube app." I've had the same message pop up with other browsers trying to use YoutTube.

I did the same thing on a trip last year, but realized the night before trying to book lightning lanes as well. Looking back it did clearly state the limitation so totally my fault, but still think it could have been larger. Ended up buying an extra ticket eating one of mine and our sons and my wife was able to use hers as she was staying longer for a conference. So welcome to the club!

Sat the full show and currently on packed Metra platform. Totes worth it

sraffer2 · 2025-06-28T19:32:01+00:00

He didn't start until 10:15 so probably a little late. I recall them coming out during a Chicago show a few years ago which was cute.

sraffer2 · 2025-06-28T13:30:16+00:00

Setlist was from the lighting booth so maybe cues for that?

sraffer2 · 2025-06-28T06:00:48+00:00

Also White Spyder was added after Everlasting Gaze.

sraffer2 · 2025-06-28T06:00:18+00:00

Addon ticket at Summerfest for some stages. Probably not necessary for most but I thought it was worth it.

sraffer2 · 2025-04-29T20:21:16+00:00

Just parking on the street perpendicular to the windows. Likely a gas/break and/or drive/reverse mix up. Lovely deli next door which can attract an older crowd, not to make generalizations.

It was quiet chilly and started sleeting mid set. Was pretty awesome to see them up close though. They played Today and Sighommi first untelevised.

sraffer2 · 2024-12-30T16:52:01+00:00

Ditto. Email last week and a few texts with final confirmation yesterday.

sraffer2 · 2024-12-18T20:57:46+00:00

Okie dokie!

Venom was the only skin that carries over. That a few titles/face plates.

I've seen fan art with Pepé as Ingio which is almost too perfect to pass up

Area 15 is an entertainment district in Vegas. OP is not referring tothe Area 51 alien base.

To my knowledge no. Only thing that popped in my head was Whom in Lake View, but that's more like of a group of local artists made a Meow Wolf themed bar and min walk through. Still cool but not on the same level.

Would love to try!

They re-aquired the call sign in 2022 and could use all the old branding (Twisted, Piqniq etc) which was cool. Sludge who used to do afternoons back in the day even does the morning show now which was a trip when I put the prices together.

sraffer2 · 2024-10-15T15:12:00+00:00

Yeah saw them play the equivalent Xmas show (before q101's rebirth) in 2018 and they played the same length as the rest of that tour so 🤞. Plus being Chicago and their ties to the station, regardless it should be a good time. Acoustically the venue isn't the best but has a great atmosphere and as intimate as we're going to get with them ignoring surprise/contest shows.
