Milwaukee has dome pretty cool old historic venues I’m sure there’s since cool stuff out there:

The big 3: Pabst Theater Riverside Theater Turner Hall Ballroom

Smaller venues: Cactus Club The Bacroom Lineman’s

The heat in those rooms my goodness

It was always fun calling your friends house on the land line and their dad picks up. You sheepishly ask if your friend is home and immediately hear their name shouted across their house through the phone.

Jeff Rosenstock and PUP playing the salt shed in Chicago last year. What a show.

I bought an HMD skyline phone based on the fact that it was a user serviceable device. I’d like to support that kind of thing so I took a gamble on a “goofy” phone. Best buy’s website had a sale on them and I went for it. When it showed up it came out of the box with a dead USB port. It may be user serviceable but I don’t want to user service it right out of the damn box so I took it back to a best buy store to try and get it replaced. They had never heard of it and wouldn’t touch it. Turns out just because it came from best buy’s website doesn’t mean it came from best buy? I guess? Best they could do for me was to tell me to contact HMD, and the best HMD could do was have me ship it to somebody to get it repaired. This took weeks and when it came back the cameras weren’t aligned properly anymore. I kinda gave up on it after that and bought a used Pixel from eBay. I jammed GrapheneOS onto it and never looked back. I’ll never buy from best buy or HMD again.
