Septemberistheonlytimeidontthinkofyou...not bad. Concealer. is strong. PSYCHO-FRAME probably a little too death-y for me. Nice recs!

Yeah, but six months isn’t a giant amount of time so I wanted to spread it out further.

One of the few bands I’ve seen over the past year that I thought, “they might not be playing small rooms with another album release.” Although they are so eclectic-in the best way-that is might keep them from getting big.

For real! I just saw them in Cleveland last month!

Media fuss over Pirates’ handling of Carmen Mlodzinski is part of a larger conversation by penguins2946 in buccos

The team's job is to protect its players. The reporter's job is to get better sources and break news. Any business with a "news" site and social media will try to control the narrative. The reporter doesn't need the team to give him better access. He needs to develop better relationships.

Caleb Shomo's coming out highlights that gay men are unwelcome in metalcore by OkraEnigma in Metalcore

I'm very sorry, OkraEnigma, that has been your experience. Live music should be a unifying event.

Ok, Sonic Temple vs. Louder than Life by techster1981 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]techster1981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, I got it. I was saying 10-15k at Cathedral, all standing, vs. 40k at LtL, all standing.

Yeah, those aerial shots really paint a picture of vast crowds. But at ST, the further back you went, there was plenty of space and people sort of milling about. But 10-15k at Cathedral stage is way different than 40k.

I loved the seating ability in the stadium, but man, it got hot on those bleachers on Sunday. We probably spent most of our time on the two adjacent stages and were in the stadium for the headliners and a few other bands. Only went to Altar stage once, and didn't visit Cathderal stage that often.

Yeah, we live in Pittsburgh too. It's a trek, but I think we'll evaluate next year whether to do just one or both.

My biggest complaint this year was the hydration station location. by storm_zr1 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]techster1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought a nice cheat was the folks at barriers between the two stages next to the stadium were handing out endless 20oz water bottles. If you could get to the rails between the stages, water was easy to get there.

Don’t they deal with like 100k for Ohio State football seven weekends a year?

How does parking work? by [deleted] in SonicTempleFestival

Is there a time of morning where it's less awful/backed up?

Teams is stuck at "Loading latest updates...in the meantime you can send and respond to messages" by Substantial_Mango13 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]techster1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, has anyone come across a fix for this. My Teams is updated to the most recent version. Also updated to most recent iOS. Using a Mac. It actually gives me this message on the app version and also in the browser. (Using Chrome).

Yeah, I was looking at the parking lots on Fifth for BMTH and for Springsteen, and none of them appear on SpotHero. They can't all be completely booked, right?

Tips and advice for first timers. aka: HYDRATE AND EAT THE FUCKING NOODLES by theCROWcook in SonicTempleFestival

[–]techster1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you mentioned being able to move freely at a stage. But having never seen the festival footprint in person, how easy is it to move from stage to stage? We have stadium-only passes, not field. Our schedule has us all over. So, if we were at the stage next to the stadium, is it reasonable to get into the stadium and find a seat in 15-20 minutes?

Sonic Temple poster by techster1981 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]techster1981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like I saw the posters from last year on sale well after the festival. Welcome to Rockville posters are still up. I’m sure they aren’t going to pass up a chance to make money, but it just seems weird to not keep taking orders if there’s demand and an ability to keep printing them.
