    I totally agree. The best situation is for everyone to stay home for 4 weeks and not leave. That would legitimately end the pandemic if everyone did it. Unfortunately that's not how this country works.

    Everything @irthesteve said sounds real thought out, hopefully it's similar. Also, @ncarrab I have no intention of leaving my car.

    Last thing about my own experience, I felt 100% safe. There was no one anywhere remotely close to us, we stayed in our little square (150 sq feet) the whole time, ordered food that was delivered to us and used the restroom via the app. Again just my own experience, but not for a moment was I worried for my own safety.

    that's all fun until the crew in a monster truck sets up right in front of you and they're carrying on the whole time

    The virtual bathroom they used at the venue was honestly a pretty terrible system haha, but they tried. I am sure it's gotten better, it was their first show

    there are restrictions on what kind of vehicle you are allowed to bring

    This is also reassuring. Hopefully these two venues will do something similar.

    I have been RANTING ABOUT how the dumb fucking idiots I graduated high school with are now cops, and according to my town’s public records they are making between 90k-150k. I’m 27. They aren’t tenured chiefs. And most of their salary is OT & traffic details.

    Basically, I’m happy TFB also are pissed by it.

    Not newbie, I think Supporter

    That kicks ass. Just love how TFB word things so simply, repetitively effective and anthemic.

    It's unfortunate to have such systemic problems. What are cops doing directing traffic? What are cops doing handling people with mental illness or drug addictions? Why does being pulled over mean a cop walks up and insults your girlfriend calling her stupid while I'm in the car allowable while I got to kiss his ass? (Ok, that's just me, but happened a few months ago.)

    That stream was awesome, I guess I didn't realize they would be doing full band. Really well done and the cop song was amazing

  19. wow, these songs are so good. I kinda grew out a lot of "emo" music (or bands in this scene, whatever you wanna call it), but something about this band, man. how does a band this good inspire so many unlistenable imitators lol
     
  20. listening to Back on Top for the first time in a couple of years and it's just such an amazing transition into writing bigger, better songs. Hardly tweaks their formula, but the hooks are their best, and the extra instrumentation just makes them sound larger than life
     
  21. "Plastic Flowers" man, what the fuck. So good

    sorry for the triple-post lol

    Plastic Flowers is easily one of their most underrated songs.

    Haven't listened to these dudes in like 8 years. It's super awesome to see how much they've grown and how much respect they've gained over the years. I've been meaning to go back and listen again since the Jimmy Eat World tour announcement. Bummer that got cancelled.

    The new songs are cool. They kinda remind me of Motion City Soundtrack.
