Bought a ticket impulsively and now not sure I can make it work. It said no refunds or transfer, is that accurate? Any ways around it?

Spent too much time alone the last couple days and would like to out and about around people today, something low key. Any suggestions? Music, exhibits, nature activities….

Posted here recently asking places to go dancing as an older BWT and somebody recommended the Midway - thank you! I just saw Kasbo on the terrace. Amazing few hours of dancing and a great crowd.

If anyone can recommend any upcoming sets there or anywhere else similar I’d be very grateful!

At New Parkway they had an ad for some kind of social group on Wednesday evenings, but I don’t think it was held at NP. I missed getting the info and have now forgotten the name of the group. Anyone?

Will be at N2 FLDD row 4. But just had a fall and smashed up my right rib cage pretty bad. Sucky sucky timing. I don’t know how I will do standing the whole time but I really don’t want to have to give up these seats to do ADA. Question is in that area will we be in our rows or do people kind of move, am I likely to get knocked or smushed at all? Sorry my words are not coming together tonight, on painkillers! :( oh and is it a far walk to the light rail? Suggestions of low key things to do that afternoon in Seattle where I can rest also appreciated.

I’ve had a week / month and for reasons I won’t get into have really been wanting to just go sit somewhere with a glass of wine and a cigarette. Lol. Not something I’ve done in many years! Where is ok to do this these days? I’m in Oakland but I’ll go to a good spot that I can get all the feels out and chill. Do I have to go to a beach?!

Where we honoring Dolly? Must be some tributes going on this week?

September 2024 was in Clifden w my son during the arts festival and stumbled across a couple of young men (I think in their teens) playing in a pub. They covered Zach Bryan, I requested Noah Kahan and they played the best cover of Stick Season I ever heard. Phenomenal musicians. I’ve always wondered who they were. Anyone have any idea? Or good subs to post in?

Since Outside Lands I’ve been wanting to dance so much more. 55F, love all things afrobeats , EDM, also back into my 80s indie bands again rn. Suggestions? Anyone else out there older and going out dancing?. I know about Days Like This, looking for other suggestions. Also have a fantasy of silent discos at like the presidio or aquatic park or berkeley marina…

He posted tonite that he’s quite sick. Have tickets for SF Friday. But I really hope he rests if he needs to.

I know cigarettes are back but do you actually have to smoke leaning against the ADA section next to a bunch of people with health issues? 😩

Maybe it’s pure coincidental timing but I don’t think so . Since starting LDN some months ago my health has absolutely tanked. I’m on it for cervical /thoracic pain but it’s led to extreme fatigue (can’t function after 4pm at all and have had to call in sick 1-2 days a week), cognitive and mood issues, and weight gain. It didn’t touch the pain at all. Weirdly I stopped taking it Sunday and the pain has lessened rather than increased which I don’t understand. But everything else, the fatigue etc is off the charts. Sitting here sobbing because it all feels so out of control. Dr and I decided I should get back in to and trial 12 more weeks but I don’t know that I want to touch it again. Yes I know maybe I should have been staying at a much lower dose than prescribed but it wasn’t doing a thing for the pain and it was still wrecking my health at tiny doses. Help! :( anyone else go through this? Dr now wants to trial nortriptaline but I definitely don’t want to do both at same time.

OMG it’s just occurred to me that I am nearly *twice* NK’s age 😳 and still his lyrics speak to me profoundly. How is that even possible? I can’t think of any songwriter, author, actor even close to that age who I relate to in any way. I mean he’s only a few years older than my kids. They’re awesome and one’s a big fan but I can’t imagine them penning these lyrics. He’s an old soul I guess?

I landed a ticket through work but they won’t give another for a companion so I’m going solo for the first year ever. 55F, OSL veteran, traveling from Oakland, mostly excited for Sat and Sun. Any other older bitches going solo?

Lived in same place in berkeley for ten years. Landlords became progressively more harassing and a PITA and long story but I moved out under a lot of stress and pressure in Jan this year. They then did the bathroom remodeling I’d been asking for for ten years and upped the rent by an astronomical amount. I see that the unit is still sitting empty 8 months later. They lost an excellent long term tenant who would have stayed another ten years and instead pushed me out and lost a ton of money in the process. Sigh.

Random q but anyone know where we can go raise a glass for Glen and sing his songs? SF or east bay. RIP sweet soul 💔😢💔

What does it mean?

Reccs for safe but affordable place to stay for a night that’s easy travel to/from T-Mobile as well as SeaTac?? And reccs for ways to spend an afternoon pre concert? (August)

If you had to choose ONE day which would it be? I’m into allllll kinds of music, DJs, and good vibes. Having a tough time deciding.

I lived in nyc late 90s and have a lot of friends and colleagues there, have continued to visit but haven’t been since the pandemic. I’ve been in the Bay Area all this time but miss it so much. I’m a Londoner and NYC is closer to my heart culturally and also being physically closer to the uk would be great. I outgrew the bay a long time ago. I have 12 yrs left til retirement, currently have a decent salary and a pension. I’m considering a job in manhattan but the top pay is significantly lower and there’s no pension. Still it’s about as good as it gets in my field in nyc and if I was ever going to make the move this would be my opportunity. Is this sacrifice worth it or foolish and is a decent studio in queens, brooklyn, Washington heights manageable on this salary while saving for retirement? I know that’s a broad question…
