Spot on. They completely flipped. Honestly, it's their own fault for actually making good music—can't blame people for loving them, I guess.
man, screw it.
😁

absolute nonsense 😲

Someone was mentioning on the highway the other day that there's a rumor FF might make a comeback in Chicago early next year. I really hope it’s more than just a quick stop for the tourists...😁

So what, I can afford to get burned once in a while too... Yesterday, a friend told me he knows a guy who’s currently dating Simone Biles, and apparently, this guy was whining to her about how much he wanted to go to the Depeche Mode concert but he's broke. Naturally, Simone offered to buy him a ticket, but then he doubled down and said his five friends wanted to go too, and none of them have any cash either. 🤣 So, wouldn't you know it—Simone just went ahead and bought all six tickets. What a way to live...

Kevin Chavez3 said:So what, I can take a hit too... Just heard this story yesterday about some buddy of a friend who knows the guy currently dating Simone Biles. Apparently, the guy was totally moping to Simone about how he really wants to go to the Depeche Mode show but he's completely broke. And of course, being Simone, she offers to just grab him a ticket. Then he goes, "Well, my five buddies want to go too," but they're all broke as well. 🤣 So yeah, Simone just went ahead and bought 6 tickets. Like, holy crap.

🙏

One good one >> 👍

haha, Simone Biles 🙂 *miss aj*

Samuel Murphy6 said:Haha, Simone Biles 🙂 *is the one*

Well, I don't exactly buy tickets—I just get them handed to me. ☕

😎

It doesn't really matter. You're both just sugar mommies at this point. 😁

But isn't that just how it goes? It's all whispers and hearsay between friends, and honestly, people have been talking about this for at least six months—if not much longer!
and yet, despite all the endless chatter and constant speculation, we are still left waiting for any real news to actually materialize...

So, what, am I really the only one actually showing up, along with the other 39 people stuck on this bus?
😁

I decided to skip it because the organizers were being total jerks, claiming I missed the accreditation deadline, and honestly, it’s just not worth the hassle for a freebie 🙂

but on the bright side, there's something way better happening at the Madison Square Garden on February 2nd............................................. ......can't wait

You talking about Arab Spring stuff?
And before that, you had those... editors.

it's jussssssst nooooooooot happening

(anyone who’s ever hit up that taco truck over in downtown Chicago probably knows the feeling. the rest of you? you wouldn't last a second there.)

Yeah, I was actually thinking about checking the editors' section... 😉
And Arab Strap is playing February 16th—definitely interested in that too. 👋 👋 👋

Do I need to get my accreditation request in right now? I don't want to run into that situation again where 'leider sind schon alle Press contingents from' 😁 already gone.

been there. survived. telling the tale.

I’m heading out for a run this afternoon, too. I caught up with the crew yesterday. 🙂

Susan Clark10 said:Yeah, I was thinking about the editors too... 😉
and Arab Strap on the 16th is also a flex. 👋 👋 👋

I should probably get my press credentials request in now before I hit that 'sorry, all press contingents from' wall again. 😁

Come on, man.
Even if Flex is a total drag at shows... they basically own the whole US indie scene.

And yeah, shoot me an email so we can talk— 😍
given yesterday's topic and the whole debate about deletions.
DMs aren't working... my email is on my profile page.

Why is everyone suddenly hating on Flex?? I’d take them over the local arena any day 🤔

As for the grooming part, I'll leave that to someone else—I was only marrying her for the status 😬

Jimmy said:Yeah, sure, just shoot me an email so we can actually talk about this— 😍
referring to yesterday’s thread and the whole debate regarding deletions...

I honestly don't believe it... 🤣

Kevin Chavez3 said:Even when I try to play nice with everyone... 🙄

So now I’ll just delete everything and Jimmy will lose his mind again. Watch your tone. Do I really need this after a day this miserable at work? 😁

What did I even say? The guy took offense because I cleared out the posts where people were attacking him in the chat, and then I wiped the chat itself at the request of the woman he was talking to ! 🙏 🙏 🙏

A real saint, isn't he... 😍
