You know when you have a little hole in the end of your sock, then as the day goes on a work and the hole gets bigger your big toe pushes through the hole and then it starts to hurt more than is should? That sucks. 

Is this the start of a Seinfeld episode

You know, that button is in the wrong place. I mean, it's in no-man's land...

I can deal with a hole in my sock as long as my socks are dry.  Getting caught in a rainstorm or accidentally stepping in a puddle and ending up with wet socks is on my top 10 list of things I hate.  I savor the moment I can change into dry socks. 

I hear you. I hate wet bikini bottoms.

When I camp, after I come up from the lake, I change my bikini bottoms. I might go through three a day.

And this year, while I spring ski, I'm going the girl equivalent of freeballing in my wetsuit, so when I get back aboard my bottoms are dry.

Not enough Bottlerock chatter around here. No one is going to this? OK, I wasn't planning on going either until a greatly reduced ticket and a ride with a good friend came my way a couple days ago.

I am not going to Bottlerock, and therefore I will make this a complaint of mine, since we are in the proper thread for it.  Even though it's my fault that I didn't book the trip lol.  Maybe there should be a Bottlerock check-in / hype thread.

I sort of think folks around here don't care much about festival sets. Guessing we could probably write the setlist out now and get 75% of it correct.

I dont like it when the band shows up in posters.

Too Saturday morning cartoons.

Would've been a great poster otherwise for bottlerock

P.S.
The poster is false advertising if they don't open with Release

I'm a little annoyed about Bottle Rock because it's breaking up my run of ten straight shows. (First-world problems, I know.) I originally passed it up because I figured it would be a shorter hits-heavy set at an inflated ticket price. Now, seeing the merch, I feel like they're treating it like a proper tour stop and I'm afraid I'm going to end up missing out on something I won't have seen at the other ten shows.

 Maybe they don't care about festival sets. I wasn't following the "hints" here, before the announcement of the tour, so I went for Bottlerock, Saturday only, (tomorrow) just to see Pearl Jam Live, whatever they're bringing + MMJ, and other bands, + wondering about Tower of Power, their jams from way back- etc. 
I was wrong imagining it was going to be "hot" , temperature- wise. Well, I'm not so sure I'm not going to need a neck wrap, and pockets with a hoodie for my hands, cuz it's a cold, penetrating wind tonight, in my opinion only. So, it's a complaint. But late, because you already said rock out til your face melts.  I barely Sat down at Sac- so I know you're right.  
 It'll be good- and so will the weather.

Holding up kids as props is the new flashing your breasts. Only worse because you are forcing your shit on someone else

Agreed it needs to stop these little kids don't even know what's going on. It's all projection from the parent for a little bit of eye contact or a tambo for the parent to then" look after"

Both nights in Vegas, I had kids next to me. Two young girls on Night 1, two young boys on Night 2. They seemed so out of place. They didn't sing, they didn't dance, they didn't raise their arms to the sky when everybody else was doing that. Any time I glanced at them, they just had blank looks on their faces. The girls' parents were seated elsewhere in the arena. I presume the same was true for the boys, but they were not very talkative. They spent the entire time between Deep Sea Diver and Pearl Jam with their heads buried in their phones watching an endless stream of videos.

Probably had the time of their lives.

The only complaint I have is that no one ist answering my requests to get me a token, sticker or pin from any of the shows. Sure I would paypal immediately. But seriously...not really a complaint, just a try to get attention.

Well, naturally-- I mean, they got to spend quality time with me.

...But seriously, I hope you're right but, then again, their lives have been short.

Been cashless for years here. What are you, a 10 year old with a piggybank.

Many people do not have debit cards because they live paycheck to paycheck and cannot maintain minimum balances in a bank account. Many people do not have credit cards because they have not been able to establish a credit history or cannot afford credit-card fees. Many people prefer to use cash wherever possible because they value their privacy and don't want to leave a digital record of all of their economic transactions. I would have expected Scandinavia to be more progressive than you suggest it is.

mookeywrench

Oh brother.

"Many" that's a nice objective figure....

Moreover, I'm sure those 'many' who can't afford minimum bank and credit card fees are the same 'many' who just dropped $400 minimum on a pair concert tickets.

Free of using cash I might add..

We seem to be more progressive. We have moved past cash.

For cashless arenas, they usually have a spot to exchange cash for credit in machines (with no charge).

Apparently, it saves an enormous amount of infrastructure, security, and payroll money as they have to constantly move money from the concessions to the inner areas of the arenas to account for the money and keep it safe.

This all makes the movie The Town obsolete though!
