I'm looking at frankie quinones at the irvine improv on the 28th or maybe audien after dcf at time.. anything else going on the day before dcf?

what's a good spot for mac n cheese...or a steak...any other "instafamous" places to try or (stay away from)?

thank you!

I was looking for tix for my friends and I bought some from a fairly large facebook group. One from one of the "admins" even.

The proofs of purchase looked real. they showed me the screen where they would change the shipping to my address. They even sent a confirmation email afterwards.

I should have been more diligent. The Venmo name didn't match their fb name. I overlooked it bc my Venmo name doesn't match my fb name which isn't even my real name so I thought there was a legit reason for it.

I've sold dozens of tickets and never thought it could happen to me. When I sell tickets I always ask for friends and family and for the most part people have almost always agreed to it so maybe I figured everyone else was honest too.

I put my faith in venmo goods and services so hopefully they give me my money back bc otherwise lol what's the freaking point.

I'm hoping no one else here gets scammed and if you're a scammer here you suck and I hope karma gets you.

theres 2 stages...they wouldn't have chappell and Olivia at the same time would they?!

I wouldn't mind alternating stages but the thought of possibly having to pick between katseye vs doechii is making me anxious.

hi. I would have known better than to buy concert tickets for a Monday night. my laziness is your gain . please take this off my handals.

​

$35 is obviously less than what I paid. I can do ticketmastet transfer after payment. thank you

I was looking at my account today and noticed my bill was going to jump like 30 dollars next month. I realized my $20 off loyalty discount that I got from the porting number request I did last year was set to expire .

​

I did the port number request today at about 11am... and then at 630 tonight I got a text offering 25% off for 12 months. I went to my account and redeemed it right away.

​

others has mentioned Verizon being stingy with the offer or having to call and talk to someone but that wasn't my experience . I'm on a single line with 5g playmore with free Disney bundle, Apple music add-on ..

​

Hope it works for you all.

do I have recourse?

I bought a clx prebuilt PC bought through best buy about a year ago. at 11 months it died and I bring it to my local store and it's sent out 3 weeks ago under warranty

the status was "waiting for parts" but changed to "we're working on your device" two days ago. this morning it changed to unable to repair..

I talk to customer service chat and they tell me it was "damage in transit" and to go to my store to get credit for a new PC. I show the agent a link of a PC from the same company with the same specs.

I specifically ask if I can get any pc I want including 3rd party and the agent says yes.

I go to my local store and they repeatedly said it's a "junk out" but won't give me a gift card and say I have to pick something out and they'll order it for me. I go home and find something I want and go back to the store thinking it'll be easy peasy.

it was not easy peasy. now the store says I have to pick something sold by best buy even though my original purchase was from a third party (clx) and the rep told me in writing I could pick anything I wanted.

It was past closing time so I asked for the number to corporate and will call first thing tomorrow. is the store just being difficult ? I looked and there isn't anything comparable in the same price range. none of this was my fault but I feel like I'm getting screwed.. all I want is a comparable computer (9800x3d + 5080)..what are the chances they'll make me whole?

thanks .

I saw a familiar name on the ballot running for Lt givernor and wanted to remind people of this. do what you will with this info.

Fiona Ma's anti-rave bill criticized as too broad

A bill by a San Francisco assemblywoman who wants to ban raves at public venues in California is being criticized as too broad because it could forbid many other kinds of parties.

Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, said she simply wants to ban raves from publicly owned venues, such as Daly City's Cow Palace and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. She said the drug-fueled dance parties are typically unruly and have led to numerous deaths, overdoses and arrests.

While Ma said the measure would not apply to private events, such as weddings and birthday parties, the bill would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to conduct "a public event at night that includes prerecorded music and lasts more than three and one-half hours" - with the exception of private entities, such as bars or clubs, that have business licenses.

Violators would be fined at least $10,000.

Critics of the bill say it's vague, could end up impacting events other than raves, and if passed, would be ripe for a court challenge.

"The expression in legal analysis is 'overbroad,' " said UC Berkeley law Professor Frank Zimring. "The problem is it sweeps innocent people up with not-so-innocent people. The problem of combining prerecorded music and a time period because you are worried about teens taking drugs is that it would also apply when there are no teenagers, or apply when there are no drugs."

Matt Kumin, a civil rights attorney in San Francisco, said the bill could violate two constitutional rights: freedom of assembly and equal protection. He said political assemblies and religious gatherings, for example, don't have business licenses and would also be swept up under the current language.

"I applaud any effort to keep people away from tainted drugs, or drugs that were made illegally, but you can't do it this way," he said. "This shows a severe lack of understanding of constitutional guarantees."

Ma said she is open to tweaking the bill and wants to hear from those in the nightlife community in the coming months. A law change is necessary, she said, because it's been hard for local or state lawmakers to hold publicly owned venues accountable. State venues such as the Cow Palace are owned by the state but are operated by boards of directors appointed by the governor.

"There are certain events at these facilities that don't cause this type of outcome, and there are others that do, typically where younger people gather. The drugs seem to be linked to these types of activities," Ma said. "We will save lives and resources. Everyone knows this is happening, but nobody is doing anything."

Two people died after overdosing on drugs at the Cow Palace in May, and a teenage girl also suffered a fatal overdose at a June event at the Coliseum.

"If the problem is tainted drugs, it seems the solution is penalizing people who distribute tainted drugs," she said. "This is like saying, 'A kid got hit in the head with a baseball at a birthday party, so we're going to ban all birthday parties.' "

Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, has pushed for Daly City officials to have more oversight power over the Cow Palace facility. But his chief of staff, Adam Keigwin, said the senator would not support Ma's bill as written.

"Sen. Yee doesn't believe that the answer is banning raves; the rave is not the problem in and of itself. The problem is the activity that is happening at raves combined with lack of adequate law enforcement and health services," he said. "Raves can be done the right way, and young people need outlets and things to go to. There's nothing wrong with a rave - it's a type of music, a social scene. It is illegal activity happen at raves we need to go after."
