Wow… What a history. All these times I’ve been to DC and stood at the reflecting pool and I never knew it carried such a tale.

Yeah, and I mean Starbucks used to be a staple for me; I’m not gonna deny that. Back when the original customer loyalty/gold card program existed, the entire chain was setup to be a daily experience, not a premium experience, and I was there daily. Plus, I swear I remember the coffee tasting better back then. But the movies aren’t dead because of candy sales and Starbucks won’t die for adapting their business model to the times. I suppose I’ve just been around long enough to mourn how things used to be.

Hm… Well, I for one did go to Starbucks. A LOT. For 20 years of my life. And I’m done with them.

Now I’m not going to pretend that the CEO cares at all about me. I’m also not going to pretend that their coffee was bad or that things are going to change because I don’t buy their product or that I’m some great moralist for quitting Starbucks. I just don’t like Brian Niccol and I don’t want him to have any fraction of my money. Dude’s a piece of work and the market of other options for coffee is more saturated than the caffeine content of my bloodstream.

I was really hyped to see Teenage Wrist last year, but the “headliner” of their tour - a far less notable act, in my opinion - got sick or something and the whole tour got cancelled. Shame. I’d have paid double to just see a longer set of Teenage Wrist without the headliner.

Can’t disagree.

I mean… Have you read the Dune prequels?

It’s a big club…

I was in middle school riding a bus to summer camp. Normally I slept on the bus but the evening before I broke open my parents’ CD collection to look for fresh tunes and found Dark Side of the Moon. Needless to say, no sleep on the bus that morning; I was totally hooked and spent the rest of the day listening at every available opportunity.

Take about 20% off there, super chief.

I would eat the cost of gas to watch people yeeting their Switch 2’s into the harbor. Boston or Baltimore this time around?
