What is the opposite of dialing it in?

dialing it in: making small changes to improve precision, making incremental enhancements, etc.
possible antonyms: guesstimating, approximating, painting with a wide brush

PHONING it in: doing the bare minimum, being physically present but little more, putting no effort in, etc.
possible antonyms: going all out, giving it your all, putting your heart & soul into it

opps, you are correct, I meant Phoning it in

sounds like DC has had an enviable run this week: viagra boys –> david byrne –> iggy.  lucky duckies!

Nary a word from anyone that there was also an Elvis Costello show in town last night as well.

I heard the Iggy show sold far less than capacity. Truth?

totally
stage was moved up and still was about 60-50% full

I caught Lene Lovich in Annapolis last night. Even more fun than I expected.  She sounded great, can still hit those high notes, and seemed to be having a great time. Surprise appearance by Thomas Dolby, who introduced her as "my former boss" and sat-in on "New Toy". Great - albeit quick night.

I could get used to shows being over by 9:00 though.

Addison Rae show had a striking Space Thrift Denominator (STD) with about 60 minutes of actual performance and no opener.

I loved Iggy Pop but slightly soured by my “friends” leaving without me. It took me a couple of minutes to get setlist and they left. Didn’t even wait for me outside. One of them once outside subsequently texted me asking for a ride if I was still around.

Is this kind of a shitty thing to do or am I being overly dramatic?

That’s a shitty thing. You are correct to feel the way you do.

Very odd. I texted guy back but I guess he found a ride and didn’t bother respond til next day afternoon.

Thats even worse than the first thing! What if you were waiting around thinking he needed the requested ride!?

Ask yourself:


What would Iggy Pop circa 1973 do in this situation?  Dont do that.

What would Iggy Pop today do in this situation? Do that.

Why I like to be a lone ranger or go with my wife.  I find going to shows with others usually a pain in the ass*

*Venue and seating play part in this

Yeah WTF. Never would have bailed on him if foot was on other shoe. It’s true I met them at show but I did text him set times to help his planning. We met before Iggy went on and hung out.

I don’t know what to say…

Is it obvious cause am not sure what he would do….

I like to think I am reasonable.

I go to a shitload of shows by myself. But this friend I have gone to hundreds of shows over the years.

Guess I will keep it in mind.

If anyone in the Julian Concert Club behaves this way, you’re out of at least the next concert in the series. This is not how I expect my concert bros to be.

Well that’s a relief that I won’t have to deal with it. Thanks!🙏

jeez dude, the drama

I didn't know where you went, wasn't like you said "hey I'm going to go see if I can get a set list, wait for me"

I should not have used fb messenger, as I don't get notifications, so that was foolish on my part, should have texted
as I could see later you replied a few times, but I didn't see it until the next day
also we didn't arrive together, so there was no plan to leave together
There was also a lot of hard liquor involved in the preshow, so there is that, not a great excuse, but a factor

I didn't complain when I invited you to a preshow get together and you didn't even respond/ack the offer

Am I the only one who didn’t figure out it was Hatch until right now this second?

Preshow in bumblefuck DC way far from venue? I have two kids and worked the previous three nights late!  You made preshow plans with someone else and then emailed me that afternoon to tell me what they were.
As far as not being able to find me we were watching show together for a good while. At some point you moved. Should I have stayed there all night and not moved up? Then you text me about a ride after bailing on me knowing it adds thirty minutes to my drive home. You got some chutzpah.

It’s fine dude. But on second thought I think Iggy - 1973 and today- would say fuck off.

I hope not! I tried keep it unclear!! Sidehatch texted me on his beloved facebook messenger app (not feeling like reading it really) after I initially posted here and then cracked and posted here.
