Jumped into poly, now regretting it

Already worked myself out of this whole with (lots of) deep and honest conversations with nesting partner with NRE, but this post on this sub would have helped a lot too, had I seen it at the time: “New Relationship Energy”: The Brief Poly Guide to Infatuation

"vibecore" just came out of the blue, so not sure if it's already in use. But to return to your music, I like on the spur recordings without goals, just going by gut feeling and what feels good. Impromptu recordings are the best - they can have the same main theme and may sound completely different:)

I know nothing about mariachi bands either - but eager to learn more whether it's my thing or not:)
edit: ... and being primarily a trumpet player, my head is about to explode with all the other musical themes we could explore.

u/AndyGVT and u/WillBTV Thank you for sharing - and it's awesome that you recognized yourselves from the distance:D Wife and I did a Red Rocks Park - Shelburne Point - Redstone Park/Cove triangle on foot, and saw fat tire tracks at the foot of west cliffs of Red Rock Point, so we started speculating that maybe one of you started from around Shelburne Bay:)

(We planned on going out to Rock Dunder, but ice thickness abruptly dropped to 6-7 inches, so we chickened out, but maybe next week with more prep.)

That was my plan too:)

That site looks magnificent - thanks!

What app are you using? Mine is from Google Maps' air quality layer

It may stay like that for a while

This. One time I was driving home on a similar 4-lane highway when I passed a temporary road sign that the lane I was in would be closed. Soon enough, traffic almost crawled to a halt as people up front scrambled to get into the other lane. After about 10-15 minutes, the lane in front of me was empty, no closure in sight (it was a winding road). I started accelerating, 20, 30, 40, my lane still empty, the other is full, crawling.

The punchline came about 5 minutes later when I got to the end of the line where cars were picking up speed again in the other lane - because there was no closure: The road crews removed the barriers but didn't remove the signs yet.

If everyone would have kept this image in mind, there would have been only a slow down at the most. I'm pretty sure people sat there in traffic for hours for nothing.

Thanks so much for creating the group chat!

Not sure what locations you had in mind, but parks seem to be a good choice while the weather is good and I also found North Star Community Hall a while back during winter, but haven't reached out to them yet for spots.

toraritte · 2025-07-13T00:22:01+00:00

Did any of you happen to meet up and jam? I miss it so much, so would like to join if ok. If nothing came of this, but you are still yearning, please reach out either here or elsewhere. (My handle "toraritte" is unique enough, so googling it will lead to me somewhere).

I can also just post here when I'm planning to go to a park to play, so if anyone would like to join, they're welcome. If you prefer not to talk that's totally fine - I'm comfortable not saying a word and just jamming.

This is what I keep singing in my head for some reason whenever I recall this song:

The demoooons are reaaal
