Where can I find, buy, or... "borrow" these? (Mega-thread) :D

Which sportsbook are you planning to visit for Mardi Gras?😁

Does anyone happen to know where I can pick up a decent boomerang or maybe a quality frisbee around here in the States?
I’ve been scouring the web for ages but haven't come across a single thing worth my time regarding this.

If anybody actually knows where to find some good gear, please, do me a solid and let me know!!!

I was wondering if anyone might have an address or know where I could pick up some bakery and packaging equipment in Chicago—or maybe somewhere on the way there? Specifically, I'm looking for a dough mixer and a vacuum sealer for food packaging. I guess I just need to find a reliable supplier.
Thanks

Does anyone know where I can pick up some affordable supplies for masquerade gear?

Has anyone spotted The One Ring from LOTR at any jewelry stores or gift shops around downtown Chicago?

Back in the day, you could find them in gold or silver, but honestly, I don't care about the metal anymore. If anyone knows where I can snag one, please let me know.

Anyone know?

You're looking for the so-called PHANTOM mask..
Check out local motorcycle shops, Harley dealerships, or places like Spencer's

Does anyone know where I might be able to pick up a decent technical pen around here in the States?

Probably some local bookstore... if you're lucky...

Most bookstores just carry those cheap, mass-market paperbacks...

I picked up a copy of P. Parker at the local newsstand over by the town square—honestly, I can't even remember how much cash I dropped on it. Now, as for whether it’s actually any good? 🤷

I suppose I should probably weigh in on this, though I’m not entirely sure if my perspective carries much weight here. Looking at the current situation, it feels like we’re all just circling the same drain, waiting to see which way the wind blows. It’s hard to say for certain where things are headed, but I guess there’s a certain predictability to the chaos if you look closely enough. Maybe I'm being too cynical, or perhaps I'm just seeing the patterns that others tend to overlook in the rush to reach a conclusion. It seems to me that most of the noise being generated right now is just that—noise. If we take a step back, we might find that the actual substance of the issue is much quieter than everyone is making it out to be. Not that I'm claiming to have the definitive answer; I think we're all still largely guessing, really. kaže:

I suppose I'll be watching.👍👍

Where in the States could I actually find some decent retro clocks or alarm clocks? It doesn't necessarily have to be an alarm clock—just looking for that vintage vibe, I guess.

A few examples:

Got a quick question. Does anyone know where I can actually buy a hookah in the States, if they even sell them here? Thanks.

Does anyone happen to know where I can pick up some of those paper or plastic cups for selling coffee to go?

Maybe check at a local Walmart?

I actually checked there first, but honestly, there was nothing there except for one totally ordinary one. :/

I remember seeing one held by a local news anchor once. If my memory serves me correctly, it was actually more affordable than this one.

Does anyone know where else in the city I can find a photo booth besides the one at Importanneu?

CHECK THE MAIN TRAIN STATION

So, imagine you roll up to Times Square, maybe walking down from Grand Central Station toward St. Patrick's Cathedral, right? You'll see all those taxis lined up, and just on the right side, there’s this little shop selling porcelain trinkets, religious icons, and stuff like that... I'm pretty sure I spotted some nesting dolls over there, but hey, don't quote me on it!

Where in NYC can I pick up some chess sets, but like, really high-quality ones? I’m not talking about those basic little pieces, either—I want the kind where the figures look like medieval soldiers decked out with swords and shields?
And honestly, what kind of damage am I looking at for the price?
