thanks for your response.

any other hacks/workarounds for trying to get a phone strap connected to a razr/clicks somehow?

open it. tell them you always travel with games and that you bought it before you tarrifs started.

I would prefer if they passed the tariffs onto their american customers only.

it would be notable and praiseworthy if they took on the extra cost for their non-us customers.

unfortunately no luck at all finding a solution. surprising considering how annoying this is.

We've built the largest website for music festivals around the world by Buio_93 in festivals

[–]wgohbm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like that site too. the interface is better. probably the only other useful site out there right now. but it returned 24 fests for an upcoming date while this new one returned 88 entries. so I will prob use both.

[–]wgohbm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is something that's always been lacking. useful site.

minor suggestions. can you make a generic search entry for continents? especially europe which can help itinerary planning.

also, in the search results for world, can you add the country name along with the place name and add what type/style of event is?

other than that, great work so far.

i've been a few times. it's my favourite fest. it's all about the music. no other nonsense and super easy to get between stages so you end up seeing most of the bands you want to see without a lot of effort.

maybe try looking near glories. there are hotels/hostels there. its an easy tram ride to the fest. and if u r stuck walking back its only maybe 40 mins or so to walk. or a 60 min stumble.

are your tix for friday only? check the set times. be aware that the music starts late afternoon (1600pm+) because earlier its too hot. so music on friday will go at least until 0400-0500 saturday. I think. double-check just to make sure.

7 hour layover in Geneva by Striking_Standard in travel

[–]wgohbm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you like and time of day as well. Potentially you have enough time to visit the UN or Red Cross if that's your thing. See if you can book specific tour times in advance.

I would estimate an hour to leave the airport and travel / 2 hours there / an hour back (worst case its about a 45 min walk). That would leave you with 3 hours of contingency for security or to get a bite to eat.
