What’s the lawn section like at the Greek? Am I able to dance still?

Bought the cheapest Byrne tickets at $100 a piece, because the floor was a whopping $500 each (wow).

Love dancing at shows. Think I’ll still be able to on the lawn? Any advice?

Sometimes life t-bones you. Other times you get porterhoused when you should have gotten t-boned. Here’s my $8 a pound “t-bone” ;)

I don't know who the Kings should draft, but they shouldn't trade any draft capital to move up. If they want to dish an existing player to move up, sure go for it, but the org. is not in a position to be sending out draft capital for guts, feelings, hopes and dreams.

That's all.

I would love to play this man in literally any board game.

Poor strategy on his part, this isn't rocket science.

Also, I didn't want to make the screenshot look better by cutting out the timestamp because it makes it look more stupid overall, which is fitting.

Lost Wolves of Yellowstone is my favorite documentary of the last 5 years.

Run time is 45 minutes in theatres (longer at home) cost $13 a head at my IMAX. It’s going to run for another couple of weeks. I haven’t seen anyone really talk about this film online. It made me laugh, made me cry, and left me in awe.

Of course it’s a movie about the power of stewardship, but it’s also a movie of family, found family, and motherhood. Would make a great Mother’s Day flick. I’m in no way affiliated with the film, but highly recommend seeing it. There were literally a total of 5 people in the theatre to see it, and it deserves a much wider viewership and audience in my opinion.

Go check it out while it’s in theatres.

Lost Wolves of Yellowstone at the Esquire IMAX was one of the best documentaries I’ve seen the last 5 years.

Not just drinks, but food too.

I like the kind of place where you can order a bunch of bites at a decent clip. Ella's is my clear favorite right now, i.e. $8 gin and tonic, $6 glass of wine, $8 caesar salad, and $9 steak tartare + popover. I'm in no way affiliated with Ella's, I just think they do a really solid happy hour at decent prices in an upscale setting. Feels like a really nice outing without having to break the bank.

Curious to explore other options.

I've posted versions of this itinerary in comments, but never as a post. I like saving money so I generally recommend skipping Napa. Think there's more fun to be had in Sonoma anyway at a cheaper clip.

Stay in Healdsburg, Santa Rosa or Petaluma area. If you're looking to save some bucks, stay at the Sandman outside of Santa Rosa or Hotel Petaluma in Petaluma. The latter is genuinely nice and can be swopped up for $120 a night. Oyster bar, tasting room and bar in the hotel, cool spot.

For the winery day, have a DD, set up a taxi or reserve ubers in advance. Reserving ubers worked just fine for me, and wasn't too pricy from Santa Rosa after splitting costs. Starting from Petaluma would get a bit more $$ since it's farther.

The winery day:

  1. Go to Ridge Lytton Springs first, reserve tasting in advance to sit outside in a shaded area next to the vineyards. Montebello available to taste on site for an added cost.
  2. Go to Coppola for lunch and a tasting. Okay wine, but the property is awesome, and the pasta is solid. 5-10 minutes from Ridge. Bring swimsuit/trunks and lounge around the pool if that's your cup of tea (reserve / pay in advance, on the pricy side and the pool gets more expensive every year).
  3. Finish at Arnot Roberts on way back to your hotel.

Grab dinner somewhere in Healdsburg or Santa Rosa. I like Stark's or Augie's in Santa Rosa. Steak house and French bistro respectively.

Next day, if staying in Petaluma, grab some focaccia sandwiches at Stellina Alimentari, putter around a couple wine bars in town (Adobe Road, Montagne Russe, Port Works, etc.) Grab some oysters at the Shuckery in the late afternoon then grab dinner somewhere. Decent ice cream shop in town too to cap off the night, brewsters outdoor beer garden with fire pits, and a dive with a million pool tables if you're trying to turn up late at night.

--

Great weekend, great wine, great food. And significantly cheaper than Napa. Have fun.

Tried getting into his music before the show and it didn't quite hit. Saw he was opening for Poolside. But WOW, Thunder Jackson was mesmerizing live, I was grooving so hard, what an amazing show.

The newly renovated Castro Theatre in SF is great too, worth checking out.

This has been going on for several years now. I've switched iPhones, I've tried using my Cinemark account and my wife's account on my phone. I've tried contacting customer support, they eventually escalated me to 3 different people. The final person told me to call Apple and then closed the ticket.

When I go to purchase a ticket on the mobile app, one of two things happens. 1) It either says "Error Loading Page" when I go to seat selection. 2) Or secondly, if I get through to the page where I go to select my seats, I can choose whatever seats I want i.e. D3 and D4, but then when I click to go to the next page to buy tickets, it never lets me go there.

My wife is able to buy tickets from her account on her phone on the app no problem. If I want to buy tickets, I literally have to login on a laptop, buy the tickets, then the tickets will show up on the app for me to use.

Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I'm at a loss for what to do, I've never had this problem with any other app. It's very frustrating, I'm literally trying to give the company money to buy tickets and it doesn't work lol.
