True! I didn't have a great experience the first time I went. I should give them another shot though.

No, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!! Is it in the River Road shopping center (as we used to call it)?

Hi, moderator here who approved your comment, despite the personal dig at me for being "the worst."
I'm not victim blaming anyone. It's not OPs fault that the promoter and venue failed to admit people in a timely manner and get them out of the elements fast enough or even at a normal speed. It's pretty clear that myself and others agree that sucks.
What I did do, however, is let OP and others—who may be in this position in the future—know that they have their own personal responsibilities to how they dress in inclement weather. Anyone with a functional nervous system knows that yesterday was cold and rainy pretty much all day. Look out a window, stick a hand out of the door, or maybe look at a weather report. So, in that respect, being underdressed knowing that there will be a period of time one will be outdoors is probably not a "great decision."
If you—the proverbial you and not individual you—go to the beach for an all-day outdoor music festival and didn't pack sunscreen or bring an umbrella or tent and can't find any shade to stand under, yeah, you're gonna get a pretty bad sunburn and/or heat stroke. Both of those things are typically preventable with the right planning.
There are plenty of stories of people getting seriously ill, injured, or dying from being exposed to the elements and not having appropriate clothing.
>also there’s nowhere to put a fucking coat
So just hold it or tie it around your waist or wear it or ask someone else if they can hold it for you. I mean, goddamn. It's not a difficult thing.
Lastly, and I'm saying this as a moderator: take it down a notch.

Have you tried Indigo in the West End? I think it would be a better mix and the clothes are a bit higher end in terms of their brands. That is my main problem with Plato's closet--most things are from Target or similar.

no. lawnmower might get stolen, but not been an issue that I know of, and I know a lot of people there.
I think some of the people posting are duing the RVA thing of talking down a neighborhood they like for fear demand will rise

You can cross south over the T. Pott bridge and follow the asphalt path until the fork beside the train tracks. Go right at the fork (onto gravel). This is under the bridge you can see from the fork.
From Manchester this can be approached by taking the flood wall path (on top of the flood wall) westward.

I'm glad that others have had really good experiences with RCC. I personally would never go back. I had a telehealth therapist who was obviously doing something else during all of our sessions. I would stop speaking to see how long it would take her to notice, and it was often several minutes.

Promoters/venues in this particular sector of the music industry are generally trash. I’m not talking about genre of music, I’m talking about these low level dickheads whose product is 90% hyped up social media posts convincing people to give them their money for the party of the year when they happen to book a well known artist on a clear cash grab. Logistics and crowd experience were last on anyone involved’s list of shit to care about, including Trippie. He had no business doing that bullshit show, but at the end of the day, he got paid and the fans got screwed, and neither he nor the promoters give a shit. That’s just how it works with these scumbags.

While smartphones definitely have their limitations compared to dedicated cameras you can still capture a LOT of nice images with one.
Find a camera app that allows you to take photos in RAW, as this will let you have more leeway when you are editing.
Not having gear will absolutely prevent you from obtaining certain shots, but honestly the most important pieces of kit are your eyes and your mind. Without those it doesn't matter if you're using top-of-the-line pro equipment or not.
I've seen better pics taken with a smartphone/point and shoot compared to a $15k Leica setup.
If you find yourself loving the hobby with a smartphone then you can jump into the entry-level DSLR arena for only a couple hundo bucks. Cared-for used is a killer option in the photography world.

ah, one of those. You can model that. Though they make life interesting. Usually more 70s houses have that

It really eats up people's free income. It's one of the big reasons people move south. Thousands of dollars every winter

Devil's advocate's devil's advocate here, but if they were properly dressed for a 30 minute line and not for a 5 hour line, that really is the venue's problem. It's not like these places have lockers and changing rooms for people to change from 5 layers of bundled up to fun in the club outfits. I just googled this show and it says the first act starts at 10 pm, so you'd expect doors to open between 8 PM and 9 PM, not 12 AM.
