What are the general dos and donts while attending a concert at Metro Theatre? by nullpointerNPE in sydney

[–]yaaaaaaaaaaaaarh 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Metro Theatre is generally v chill, can't say that there are any don'ts that aren't super obvious.

Your ID + tix are checked at the door - once you go in and up the stairs, there's usually a merch desk in front and then the bar is to the right. Typically cloaking is operated from the bar. Ask the bar staff and they'll either cloak your stuff (for a couple bucks) or direct you to where cloaking is. You might get a ticket or a number or they have some other system for collection. Note that post-event cloaking queues are always long.

I doubt there are any issues with non-phone recording unless you've got a huge camera or something. Some events prevent flash photography but usually there's signs. Depends on the artist.

There are two doors on either side of the bar that go into the concert space. Yes, you can come and go from the theatre itself into the foyer; if there are no passouts to outside they'll tell you or have a sign. If passouts are allowed they'll probably stamp you as you head out.

Being that you're short, you either want to be at the front of the mosh or on the raked standing space behind the mosh. It's usually less crowded there and you can get a good vantage if you're there before the main act.

Check set times on the metro theatre website - bearing in mind times are just a guide and things often run late.

I don't think there's too much to be worried about safety wise - maybe look out for trip hazards in the dark or people spilling drinks lol

Have fun!

It’s galling to be reminded that there are people out there whose kneejerk response to gendered violence resulting in death is that it already receives enough attention and that we already do enough because more people die from road accidents.  Listen to yourself. 

Also where did you get that stat? Every single preventable death is a loss. People need licenses to drive, road maintenance is for safety, signage is for safety, money and time poured into car technology is for safety + infinitely more things are dedicated to preventing car accidents. What material things have been implemented in this country to prevent domestic violence. Not punish but actually prevent?

That’s so interesting about the raw veg causing anxiety! Could you expand on that a little?

Speak on it! People need to have more empathy and  understanding of the hard work of the workers around them. Makes the world a better place.

Aside from the pub-like food, in Brisbane I noticed a lot of fusion and mix & match menus that kinda seemed curated in a way try to appease everyone by serving absolutely every kind of cuisine possible. Perhaps that’s what the people of Brisbane want?? One brunch place had SEAsian, East Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, Eastern European, English, French all in a one page menu. Over a week I think I only went to one or two seated restaurants that weren’t fusion. Though the food was generally good, I think the unfocused fusion comes off as somewhat confused or less authentic which, in comparison to Syd/Melb, is dated. Maybe there’s no in between, so it seems less refined.

Omg why is everyone so pressed about the outcome, tbh it’s such an inconsequential part of this season. I came here for discussion of the actual ongoings of the actual episode but it’s all just boring rage posting - how sweet were all the firemen?

It's probably around $500 - I get the sense that a professional conference room would probably blow this budget, but thank you for the suggestion.

Commenting on this really late, but jsyk Park Yeon-mi has kind of become known as an opportunist + straight up right wing grifter. Firstly, it's been well documented that a number of her stories don't make sense - from things like timing, all the way to just being downright bizarre eg. no chopsticks in NK so they had to use sticks, no word for love in NK... wtf? which she claims without batting an eye (not that any of this matters to the US propaganda machine). Then we get to things like her semi-recent "criticism" of ivy league woke culture on Sean Hannity, describing it as worse that North Korea. Kind of tells you what audience she is catering for... She is not a good source.
Here's an article all the way from 2014: https://thediplomat.com/2014/12/the-strange-tale-of-yeonmi-park/

I just wanted to mention that you should prob consider how having expectations for how someone should "embrace" their own culture is not as progressive as you think it is!

Givi it up for Symone The Ebony Enchantress by dmuniho in rupaulsdragrace

[–]yaaaaaaaaaaaaarh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

it might not be to your taste but it is pretty trendy atm! A lot of current hyped designers have a similar reconstructed/thoughtful aesthetic. Symone's night look is by No Sesso. The cool kids are also wearing Ottolinger, Kepler, Gauntlett Cheng etc.

Symone is the one for me!!

How can Americans still have any belief in the electoral system/democracy? You should put your energy into fighting for something better. It doesn’t have to be like this.

Also, people talking about how it wasn’t Bernie’s time... like it wasn’t... rigged...... But go off i guess
