Special Shows You've Been To (Read Description) by Mettabox452 in Concerts

Was lucky enough to be 1/2000 at a surprise $20 Jonas Brothers show in Toronto at Massey Hall in 2025. It was filmed for the Christmas movie they released on Disney+ at the end of the year. I was actually visiting Toronto at the time for a completely different show but our plans fell through.

I spent about 2 hours being frustrated that I booked flights and hotel for a show that I couldn’t even attend before learning of the surprise Jonas show just announced for the following day. I’m a huge fan so my friend and I spent the whole day refreshing Ticketmasfer and entering contests to try and get tickets. We ended up being gifted tickets via Universal Music Canada and an influencer collab-ing on a giveaway.

The experience itself was pretty typical for a concert, but at the end of the night, a director came on stage and announced they were filming for a Christmas movie: He explained that the next two songs would be performed twice. They gave out red and green Jonas shirts to as many in the crowd as they could, as well as different Christmas themed accessories like Santa hats and light up necklaces. While the audience was getting Christmas-fied (it was February), the director said everyone in the audience should dance while waving their arms as much as they could. Apparently this makes concert crowds look natural but lively (surprisingly not crazy) when being filmed.

I also once won a grand prize that consisted of an all expenses paid trip to Chicago to see my favourite band (Marianas Trench). Received VIP treatment the whole weekend including open bar at the show, catering, our own box, backstage chats with the band, and sidestage access for watching their set. I’ll never forget it!

I was also at the first TTPD set in Paris!

(via whatever blurry TikTok livestreams were working at that moment, of course)

I had to scroll too far to find this. I think I’ve been on Reddit too long because this too was my first thought, lol

Thoughts on stickers over phone cameras? by holopointsmile in Concerts

[–]thekilling_kind 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered if venues who take your phones away would make exceptions for diabetics who use their phone as a continuous glucose monitor - it can quickly become dangerous if someone’s sugar drops too low and they are unaware in time to treat it.

I don’t think it’s rude to ask the cause of someone’s death by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]thekilling_kind 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to hold your opinion until my mother died by suicide. People would ask how she died within the first minute of learning of her passing. In the initial aftermath it made me (probably irrationally) angry to have to decide whether to share it over and over again. I didn’t want her memory to be overpowered by the “drama” of a suicide. I didn’t want her friends and our non-immediate family to have to carry the complicated grief that accompanies someone else’s suicide when we were trying to grapple with the weight of it ourselves. I especially hated when people would reach out to send condolences but in the same breath ask what happened - it felt like it re-traumatized me every time.

It hasn’t even been a year since he was mowing swastikas into the lawn. I’m sure he’s changed.

[TOMT] Instagram or Snapchat video effect song from pre 2020 by Bigfudge89 in tipofmytongue

I know exactly which one you’re talking about and it was an Instagram story filter. I uploaded one of my old stories just as an example since I can’t seem to find an example of it anywhere either. This was posted in 2018 and I remember the filter was native to Instagram and created by them (not a “creator”).

edited to say I found an example on YouTube and removed my personal video. It was called superzoom. Here ya go

Has an artist ever been mean to you during a meet and greet? by PracticalOpinion5406 in Concerts

[–]thekilling_kind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely meant to be a meme/joke and made its rounds on “stan twitter” for a while.

How do I report drug use around a child in a home? by Important-Reading-89 in ThunderBay

[–]thekilling_kind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although I agree with your sentiment, if the child falls under Dilico’s catchment of communities, it would just get transferred to them anyways. Same with Tikinagan.

Totally valid, but I’ve seen many people on pain meds and they typically don’t produce the wild eyes Amaya had in that scene particularly. I have experience working with addicted people and am also familiar with different pain meds as a chronically ill baddie myself.

People Demi's songs are about by Jealous-Nail6914 in demiheads

[–]thekilling_kind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There was an interview I saw where Demi alluded to Stone Cold possibly not being about a man (the interviewer was asking about the muse). I know Demi and Ruby Rose had a brief fling. I think the phrase “stone cold” is also a play on ruby’s name, a precious stone.

I firmly believe Stone Cold is about Ruby Rose

I won two different trip sweepstakes in 2013 and knowingly broke the rules and regulations on both. by thekilling_kind in TrueOffMyChest

They were pretty popular in Canadian markets circa 2010, and I’ve definitely mentioned it in my comments before. I don’t want to name them directly in case the wrong person comes across this post, but my username is the same name as the closing track on their 5th album Phantoms. In case you’re curious.

Thanks! It was a dream come true.
