I think Julian flew to Tulsa?

Right state, wrong town - Oklahoma City.

Actually was a cool town. Was surprised.

Serious question.  and not meant to be judgmental. Did you feel guilty spending money in a Red State?

No. The idea that the denizens of Oklahoma City — or any large city in red states — are some Trump loving buffoons is just not accurate. I’m supposed to not patronize Raleigh, Oklahoma City, Asheville, Boise, or any other number of great places to punish some hicks who live a hundred miles away? Nothing says support for our blue brethren like writing off 45% of them because they happen to live in a state that is not yet Blue.

Drinking before a concert? Will someone think of the children? - Space.

Let me clarify. When I said that, i was objecting to the idea of sitting in your car drinking before a show. That seems like a loser thing to do.

Going to a brewery, restaurant, bar, friend's hour and having a beer or two before a show (or at any time in life) is cool. Getting shitfaced before a show (which no doubt is going to make you act like an asshole in public), or sitting in your car drinking, are loser things to do.

The end.

Smells like a Space back pedal to me.

Ok, good answer. I will use it as an argument the next time my brother, wife, or anyone else try to posit their I never want to vacation vim a rec state ideas.

That said, I ain't going to Texas

If you can find the original post, feel free to dredge it up. Perhaps at the time I misstated what I meant. What I fmeant is that I think it's stupid to get drunk before a concert, and pathetic at our ages. I'm also glad my 14 yo thinks this way, and hope she continues to do so. :)

There’s a difference between drinking and getting drunk.


Having a few drinks before a concert is not getting drunk.


Nobody cares what you think is pathetic.  You on the other hand seem to really care and have a need to tell everyone. Does it make you feel superior or better than others? It’s something you do a lot and it’s annoying as fuck

I mean I don’t sit around telling you all the things that are kind of pathetic about your life?! You want me to? Well, likewise I really think you should tone down the judging…. Calling cities shitholes?

Nobody ever said getting drunk before a show was cool… you came down on pregaming… getting together with friends before a show for a few drinks is part of the fun for many…if you don’t like it that’s your problem

Damn space stop getting on your holier than though soapbox

You sound like one of those prohibition nuts

Ahhh, the smell of men fighting.

Bored with this conversation. Someone else please talk about a show they went to.

FWIW, i did have a glass of wine with dinner at Barcelona last night, then a beer at District Garden before the show last night.

And what is wrong with calling a city a shithole? It's not like you're judging a person, you're judging a city.

yet you keep asking the damn questions man!


Ugh people live in the city, are born there, are from there, their families are from there…etc

No matter where people are from they are generally proud of and love where they are from.. trust me when I say when you insult their city they will feel insulted.

Insulting American cities where fellow Americans live… what the hell could be wrong with that? Gee I don’t know. And from a US federal government employee no less.

I guess what’s wrong with Trump calling other countries shitholes? It’s not people

Well in that example, Trump was actually correct. It's just that as president you just can't say those sort of things. But on a rock message board that ten people read, you can say what you really think. Its not like the people of Kansas City or Tulsa or OKC are going to care anyway! Ahithole was probably too strong a word. Isn't a person allowed to like some cities and dislike others?

Note: The place Trump was referring to as a ahithole is a ahithole because the people have been screwrd over by colonialism. Not their fault

really…you can't type out the word shithole?  As if "ahithole" isn't basically typing shithole already, but the fact you are so holy you have to sub an a for an s and can feel like you are still morally superior?

You know, the a is right beside the s. Maybe Space, has larger fingers.

I do have trouble typing on the phone. maybe my fingers are big. You should see my, texts.

Also, I just tried playing with my phone, and "shithole" autocorrects to "ahithole."

I think some of you guys are missing my point. My point was to troll Julian, the guy with the $100 haircut, for flying to a second or third tier Red State city during the height of a pandemic, to see a show. To me that was a Julian's America fail on a couple of levels. I mean like who in Julian's America flies to a second or third tier city, ever?

It seems like some of you lack a sense of humor and  Trump still owns some of your brains. It's like you're still suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome if you're so easily triggered by the use of a word that he used. Once.

That said, my apologies to each and every person in Kansas City, Tulsa, and OKC who read this thread yesterday and were offended by my comments. I'll happily get together with you and buy you a beer once this whole thing is over.

Anyway, tell me about the Sunday night shows you saw. We watched Luca and the series finale of My So Called Life.

In the same weekend, my wife and daughter went on a motorboat ride and decided they need to join a boating club, and we watched this movie and my daughter decided she needs a Vespa to ride to school on.
