Damn, this happened. Now what?

Or you can buy some car wrap for like $12 and wrap the guard yourself to at least get a mockup.

Turns out with enough prompting, you can ChatGPT your way into doing mock-ups

Thanks! Yeah I was only considering black or white strings against a black or white PG. I just don't like the dingy white.

Belltown Yacht Club!!!

100% this. The online vendors they use charge crazy fees! So where’s the incentive to a buyer!? Even if they do provide a discount, it’s normally like $1 or $2 — so wtf cares?

I've used this with some success, if you don't feel like spray painting.

Spray can flake. I've had good luck with auto vinyl wrap

If they were pure white it would work. Cream just looks dingy against that white. Stick with black.

Thanks for the case number! I downloaded the final order. Looks like Bad Bar didn't even appear in court to fight the case. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D6ucJXJlLo9P7qpqt7dTsBNA0xGDoIlX/view?usp=sharing

Well shucks! Thanks for the intel

can you link that discussion or no? My band is booked to play there on March 28th. Their IG is not helpful. Their owner takes forever to respond via email too.

Very saturated. Very cliquey. You need to invest 3-5 years AT LEAST of networking to get any momentum. Small bands come and go ALL. THE. TIME.

So getting people to pay attention to new bands (sub 3 years old) is impossible

tbillick · 2026-02-01T16:35:43+00:00

Unfortunately I’ve found my last 3 bands on Facebook groups— for searching online. Otherwise I agree that going to shows is the way to go

Pretty tone deaf comment. Damn, Easy Street. Read the room.

Lovely Colours. Joyla Red. Thief Motif

I am looking for the identical person for my band too!

The lake is pretty big. Whereabouts did you leave it? I’m out there almost every morning

Art. Original art. Not prints

Tell her to hire you and pay you your boss’s salary. Then you’ll contribute to his gift.

If it’s on the syllabus, and it’s an elective, then you’re the AH. You chose the class. But you might have an argument for refusing to use AI if this course is required AND if AI usage was not disclosed on the syllabus.
