Hot Take: Skip Ryan and go see Clem Snide. You'll probably get a better show.

considering they are on different dates, not sure this was a decision anyone was mulling

also…between when we started talking about this, both hamilton shows are now sold out

big fan of both, and I pretty much sure you'd get a better show at RA, like not even close
now RA has his share of lame shows, he has not really done that kind of shtick for a while
shows as of late have been 2 hour long affairs with songs from all over the catalog, focusing mostly on fan favs and a few deep cuts and great cover selections

last time I saw Eff, it was barely 1 hour, with only about 1/3rd set of songs I knew
I will probably go, but I'm going to say your take, may be hot, doesn't mean it's accurate
you can confidently say one will be a lot cheaper than the other

Ok, clearly I should be focusing on more important things
but was trying to figure what one of the lesser board bishop was referring to
Maybe a ref to INIKO, who is at the club on 10/11?

Even enlisted ChatGPT's deep reasoning o3 model, which investigated advanced ciphers …

welp, The most straightforward reading is that each 6‑letter block is just three U.S. postal abbreviations run together:
Ryan took four months to sell out a 200 capacity venue. Says it all

200 sounds a bit low, but your point is still valid.

The Hamilton Live, located in Washington, D.C., has a capacity of 600 for general admission events, according to The Hamilton Live. For seated events, the capacity is 300, says The Hamilton Live. The venue is known for its intimate setting and diverse musical acts, from Grammy-winning artists to local talent.

dude.  tix to these shows are more than $5 - DECISIONS MUST BE TAKEN, SACRAFICES MUST BE MADE
Ryan is very high risk…not quite Moz level but a lot of risk

1. Show cancellation risk
2. Drunk at show turns into 🤡 risk
3. Flips out at show risk

(2 and 3 can be related)

Hopefully he plays these shows but given how small they are you have to think possibility of blowoff cancellation is high. He is also playing West Virginia

first show sold out months ago
not sure why there wasn't an announcement about the second show, but that also sold out
600 is the capacity is my understanding, but it is a small venue

now I'm definitely not going to argue that his star is not fading dramatically

he headlined MPP in 2017

he has been sober going on 2 years now, but he did recently have a blow up at a European show
trust me, those types of shows were much more commonplace for almost 2 decades
I would have actually seen Whiskeytown at the bayou if not for a this common occurrence (I think they played 2-3 songs)

the WV show already happened…don't think it was well attended at all

He just played a packed Massey Hall (cap 2750), not sure if it sold out, but it was full
You are writing like a fanboy not a reality based observer.


I can tell you not that long ago they had some barstools available at the Hamilton.

Anyways I get it …as a fan the Hamilton will be great…and he is performing Heartbreaker so how bad can it be?

Thing is he has been a train wreck for a long time in many respects . You probably don’t follow how he has been releasing music on his label. Very shoddy mastered from low quality mp3s. Over promises stuff all the time and doesn’t deliver product.


If he is selling signed records pick one up for me. I will reimburse you. Doubt he will be.

The guy who runs the venue worked at Anthem at the beginning and I was tempted to ask for a ticket but asking for stuff is not my forte.

You can't just ask. You have to woo them and whisper romantic shit in their ear.
He said about a year ago I should ask…but am shy

I have a fear of rejection… at the last cure show I asked Seth if Tiffiny could meet Robert smith but he said it was too late to ask…Robert was on stage so seemed a fair point

Now I don’t ask for nothing!

Had heard about the 'taylor's version' stuff he was doing, but hadn't heard it'd been actually released and was low quality

are you talking about these ones?
1989 (Taylor Swift cover album) – released September 21, 2015, track-for-track reinterpretation
Nebraska (Bruce Springsteen) – released December 7, 2022 via Pax AM
Blood on the Tracks (Bob Dylan) – released December 26, 2022
Morning Glory (Oasis)
Definitely not 1989 but there have been a lot of recent releases…outtakes from previous Ryan albums
Can confirm ryan has fallen off wagon multiple times and is indeed not sober for two years. Unfortunately. I've been blocked on his IG for a few years, so I miss most of his public meltdowns.
Right he blocks his fans from his social media. Yeah Sidehatch he’s doing great!!!
