Glass Animals Great and then brown screen :-(

 So exciting - DJ purchased a ticket to watch a live Glass Animals concert - I guess it was a pay per view concert - never done that before.   They were actually doing 5 concerts a few hours apart around the world last night.  

Glass Animals are an "English psychedelic pop band formed in Oxford in 2010" and were really starting to break out until one of their members broke her leg in 2019.  They canceled all of their tours and were ready for a world wide tour in 2020 . . . and then . . . . we all know what happened.  

SO - for $17 we logged into the East Coast version of their live concert.  Things started poorly as the screen was blank for 10 minutes and people in the chat rooms were FREAKING out.  As long as others were freaking out it was all fine . . . except DJ and I kept typing the concert was  "GREAT CONCERT - SO AMAZING".   LOL  

 So anyway - the screen comes back on and they are chuckeling and "live TV" and all that!  The concert starts and it was REALLY REALLY good.  Neighbors probably heard out two 250 watt sub woofers :-) 

I tell ya - this band LOVES bass.  


All was going well and we were rockin with our Glass Animals t Shirts and beer and then  BROWN SCREEN about 45 minutes into the show! 

CHAOS ENSUES in the chat rooms - 20 SECONDS OF CHAOS! 


Nobody notices the "We are experiencing technical difficulties" 

Luckily we can see the entire concert in a link they sent everybody this morning.

I tell ya - DJ comes up with the most amazing group  alt-J is another group that has gotten our attention.

One of the reasons I became an alderman was to get a bike trail . . yea - weak reason but hey - I was asked.  It never happened as I was told a bike trail was a bonus "we" could not afford.  I begged to differ but . . . . 

So after I was not an alderman anymore I formed the Columbus Cycle Club which was gaining members weekly and then I immediately blew out my knee AND Covid happened so biking was no longer a thing for me.  

Now the city got a grant and will move ahead with a bike trail.  I'm not sure what I think about the trail as my vision was to have something where you can do a round route around the city.  

OOPS FONT change warning LOL  

My vision when alderman was to get a trail that circumnavigated around the city. Sadly this does not. While I LOVE the new trail it just goes back and forth - not a real route a family on bikes would take - it's just back and forth not around.
NOT complaining . . much. But a "round" route would be so much better




 just sayin'.

I'm really messing up this year on Bridgejumper - with no pre season games I'm just behind  on everything.  Bridgejumper is 3-1 this year and I missed 3 REALLY solid picks!   sigh! 

*****************

I had my first sub par round playing Master difficulty yesterday in PGA2K21 golf sim - still not good enough to get on the TGC Tours but I'll keep trying.  I'm ranked in the 40s (out of 500) in the Beer League that uses Pro difficulty.  I only make like $600 virtual a week so I can't afford a drop dead virtual girlfriend.  Long are the days when I earned $1 million virtual dollars on tour.  Back when this was a smaller game and not a world wide phenomenon.

nuff said - have a Great weekend brrrrr
