Who pays for concert tickets? I get my tickets for free from the evil alcohol empire. :wink:

This! I hate getting a face full of water.

We used to get free tickets for box seating for concerts. But then you’re really far away and you’re still dealing with people singing along. Would rather watch it on my home screen on a video recording. One year we had great seats in a covered venue, but it was open on the sides. It poured rain and rained sideways and even though we were far in we got soaked. Not finding any of this stuff fun in the least.

Rain during an outdoor concert is not fun for sure. I realized during covid how much I missed live music since we didn’t go all that much when the kids were growing up, and then things shut down. Since then, I’ve been to over 100 live concerts from small to large venues. It’s my happy place. Except for that country music thang :rofl:

Like you, I’m not a fan of concerts in general. It has to be something special for me to go.

Colonial Williamsburg has reduced ticket prices in 2025 leading up to the 250th year celebration in 2026.

I agree. I have a very short list of big concert artists I would pay to see. I do love live music but in very small venues, like jazz club size.

I also don’t love Broadway shows and musicals. They are way too long. I’ll never forget taking my kids to see Wicked when they were younger (free tickets through work). We got to the intermission, the lights came up and they were SO happy because they thought it was over. Their faces when we told them it was merely the intermission and there was another 90 minutes :joy:

Dog drool doesn’t come out of fabric like it does leather.

I enjoy musical theater and some non-musical live theater drama, but I am short and as I said, lucky me typically get somebody either tall or with a hairstyle I have trouble seeing over. Thank heavens some theaters have tiered seating.

Or the hotel showers where it is not obvious how to turn them on or off or adjust the hot and cold water mix.

Hotel shower controls are one of my pet peeves. If they can’t all be simpler / consistent… post a sign about how they work.

Oh, I misunderstood. You said it was built in the 20th century. That’s what floored me. LOL.
Maybe you need to live in VA to appreciate the state’s significant history.

Oh, how many times have I gotten just cold water or hot water (there is usually a little button to push), or didn’t know how to get the water to come out of the shower head. This usually happens at some fancy hotels. They seem to think unless they made the shower/faucet complicated we wouldn’t feel we were getting our money’s worth n

Allow a lot of time to wait in line. I love In-N-Out, but I wasn’t going to wait in line for 8 to 12 hours and that’s what it took the first 4weeks. I could have driven to the airport, flown to John Wayne airport, taken an Uber to an In-N-Out, back to the airport and back to Denver in less time.

Since they came to Denver, I think I’ve eaten at one about 3 times.

There was an HEB grocery store opening near Dallas. My boss said it was packed like sardines.

Yeah best to wait. And let them work the kinks out.

H-E-B is perfect. No kinks to work out. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hadn’t ever gone into an HEB grocery store until our visit to a college in TX and I was like “Oh my gosh, this store is great!” :grin:

Not only is H-E-B an awesome place to shop, but they are exemplary corporate citizens. This is the company you want on your side during a hurricane or a flood or any catastrophe. Their logistics are amazing. They even sent $1M to CA to help with recent fires, and they don’t even have any stores there (they are mostly South and Central Texas, though are making inroads into North Texas).

The one we went to was in Georgetown, TX. If I had an HEB near me, I’d shop there all the time.
