Borrow an Electric Bike??

Long shot:
anyone in Philly have an e-bike we could borrow/rent for pizza delivery tonight?

My boyfriend delivers for a pizza shop in Francisville and his e-bike motor completely died last night.

He works tonight through Sunday, roughly 5–10 PM. Right now we’re mostly trying to get him through tonight while we figure out a longer-term solution.

We already have his insulated pizza delivery bag, so we just need an e-bike with a sturdy rear rack/platform where we can secure it and keep pizzas flat.
We can pick up and return the bike, take very good care of it, and we’re happy to pay a reasonable fee.

We’re in the Fairmount/Francisville area.
If anyone has a spare bike, knows another courier/delivery rider who might, or knows of a genuinely cheap short-term rental, I would seriously appreciate the lead.

Teaching bass lessons first time 🪨⭐️

I had responded to a comment on a local Facebook buy nothing group regarding a dudes daughter wanting to learn bass, and if anyone had a spare collecting dust.

Naturally, I absolutely don’t have one collecting dust, but I’m all about young, inspired women learning bass (any other instrument/passion). This has led me allowing her some time to feel out my 5stringer and short neck 4 string basses…. Her dad bought a used hollow body the next day!

I’ve now taught 4 lessons, and she’s incredible (picking up the patterns, asking the correct questions, working on the finger exercises, etc)

This is my first time teaching anyone bass, and I’m looking for some advice/tips.

Unexpected favorites?

Who has any songs or shows they didn’t expect to enjoy so much, but when you saw it live it completely changed your mind?

Sky Bridge Sketching from 94 Show

Didn’t expect to love the behind the stage Sky Bridge seating so much, until I was able to sketch, like I do at home during couch tour. Here’s just a few (nothing crazy, more feeling the music and blind contour type stuff).

Evolutions of songs are fascinating!!

Mind blown right now!

As I’ve been learning bass, I just connected Down With Disease to Respect by Aretha…. Which was originally by Otis Redding and then also Minglewood Blues and then New Minglewood Blues ….. and then Funky Bitch 🤯

I’m sure there’s more out there

It’s cool and I had to share! That’s all 🤘

Turns out bass is a GIANT can of beans

About 6 months into this lifetime journey.

I started noticing the patterns from the start, and now I’m starting to recognize them.

More and more, I’m having those:

“Oooooohhhhhhh… there you are.”
moments; the ones where something you’ve been practicing for months suddenly CLICKS.

I’ve got quite the journey ahead of me, but I’m excited to take the scenic route. 😎🤘

Wild dream last night….

So this was a new one that felt extremely real, and I’m sure it will continue to build.

I typically have pretty consistent “recurring” dreams…. Not so much recurring, rather same spaces/ characters, like continuing watching a tv series, and this one was a new place/theme/characters. It differentiated from other “just dreams” of mine in the sense where I remember each feeling/color/detail/scents/people/feelings.

I’ll try to sum it up a bit, bc it’s difficult for me to describe without rambling…..

  1. Bought a house, yet knew there were secrets in the walls/floors
  2. Partner was there along with my parents and brother, amongst many anonymous people that I don’t know, but ik their names/what they looked like down to specific makeup details/backgrounds.
  3. Threw a party, dug up a valuable camera, and ventured to a separate location, like a dojo of some sort. Where I went back to multiple times; essentially a spell was cast upon me where I needed to return and provide “sacrifices” in order to continue living.

There was a lot more…. But those are the basics.

Just needed to share.

Need some inspiration and opinions!

Hi all!!!

I’ve acquired a drawer full of random stuff and a complete inability to throw anything away. 😅

fabric scraps, denim, buttons, tees, various bits and pieces….
I’ve been kicking around ideas for handmade guitar/bass accessories.

Of course patches and pins are always an option.

I’m really more intrigued by making things that are actually useful with a cool handmade feel to them.

So I figured I’d reach out to fellow musicians who would actually use this stuff….

So far I’ve considered:

1.Pick holders (although I barely use one myself)
2.Straps (probably not practical with the materials I currently have)
3.Strap attachments that could pin, snap, or button onto any strap

Mostly I’m just curious what problems/likes/dislikes/desires/suggestions/criticism you all have!
What would actually make you curious enough stop and look… bass-icly(pun intended)

Thanks! 😎🤘

Any reviews? Any surprises or recommendations???

It’s been 2 years+ separated and still won’t stop.

Long story short…. I’ve been separated from my “ex” husband (still haven’t succeeded in a divorce) for at least 2 years. This was after an EXTREMELY abusive physical/mental/psychological/etc ongoing behaviors from him for nearly 10 years.

I went full out with no contact, while he was in jail, and held my ground. However, since he’s been out (about a year now) he ALWAYS finds me!!

I’ve had to change passwords several times, he STOLE MONEY out of my bank account (prior to me changing passwords), found where I live, drop off random “gifts” that scare the shit out of me!…. And he’s literally found me on Reddit (poses as his “mother” when he uses a new VOIP number or even on a post)

I’m in a loving, happy, healthy relationship now, and whenever he pops up out of nowhere, it throws me into a crazy downward spiral…. I get bossy and irritated and soooo much anxiety/concern.

At this rate, it feels like it’ll never end, and it really scares me.

Any advice?

Best sites to search for RV?

My boyfriend and I have been dying to get out of our apartment and on the road in an RV, but we’re not exactly sure where to look for credible/reliable sources.

We’d like to do some research to determine which is correct for our lifestyle, as well.

I’d love any type of information/advice/feedback 🫶

How to live small with animals?

Hi all!!
Not sure if an RV or a trailer would be considered a “SmallHome”, but I would think either would qualify bc of limited spacing.

Anywhooo, my bf and I had been considering an alternative option to renting (from Philly), and we would ultimately love to be traveling/living in a place we could own and relocate freely.

One of our main concerns is living with animals in a smaller space/home. Currently we have 2 dogs and 2 cats(both at indoor only), and we’ve been hesitant to take the plunge bc of them.

Does anyone have any experience and/or advice?? 🫶

Seeking ideas for memorial Phish

Sadly, my boyfriend’s sister passed away on May 3rd. She was a huge, long time Phish fan.

Funny enough, her favorite song was Farmhouse, which was the show opener at the Sphere the night before (last text message exchanges with her).

I’m wanting to get my boyfriend (and his other sister) something special to memorialize her with thats Farmhouse themed.

Any ideas or suggestions?????

Took the plunge and got my first phish poster! My partner and I were only doing week 1 at first, but he surprised me with extending through the 2nd.

Can’t wait to frame it!

Does anyone have any framers they’d recommend? I could do it myself, just seeing my options!

Ps: forgive my silly at hotel paper weights (aka wine glasses) 🫠🤘
