Got it. It's a play with music, modern music with a beat.

Well that's clearly never happened before so I get it now. Thanks.

The nation has been starving for Alexander Hamilton-themed entertainment for years. No surprise that this has been such a success.

 

[Mattox]

It's been a long time since the Aaron Burr Got Milk spot in the 90's.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Every 3-5 years or so there is a blockbuster musical that becomes THE ticket, so this isn't a new phenomenon. That said, it has been amplified with Hamilton for some reason. Was kind of a slow build since it opened last August. Tony's and the press are part of it. Considering we haven't seen it, of course its not going to make sense.

This was the Waffle House I frequented in college. Glad that Sturgill and Colbery experienced it's greatness.

Craving that place right now. Scattered, smothered and covered with a Waffle and country ham.

 

[UKStoleMyFish]

Anytime you combine American History and The Gays, you're bound to have all kinds of success.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner, tbh.

So Aaron Burr vs. Alexander Hamilton was really a gay lover's quarrel?

 

[buckethead1978]

The damn musical is just too damn long. Like 43 songs. It sucks. It is as if AP US History nerds at Manual had a project. So *****.

Rock of Ages or Jesus Christ Superstar crush Hamilton. Hell, Jesus is Jesus and it took half the number of songs to tell his story.


I still think a musical could be made of Randy Travis' life with the album Forever and Ever Amen. That or a 90's country (Garth Brooks era) Rock of Ages style musical.

Would kill it imo

Certainly have enough gays in here to make it happen.

Call me when you're Trailheader of the month.

-Opened the bar yesterday, closed another from 10p-4a last night and reopened the first at 1030a this morning. Shewee, glad that's over. Good money but very little sleep and had to miss the gym.

-Watched the VICE doc on student loans and its a terrible situation for a lot of people but one couple had 300K in debt to be elementary school teachers :flushed:. I mean, they'll literally NEVER be out of debt if they have to pay all that off, but dang, stop signing on the dotted line folks.

Speaking of VICE, they're new channel has some pretty good content, no surprise.

-"WE" bought a new Macbook which arrived today. It's great but not really necessary(or even close) for what we need. Oh well, makes her happy so, I'm happy, only cost me $700....

-Can't wait for some fireworks Monday:smiley:

 

[80 Proof]

Time for the annual W2 flopout?

W2's are for poosies

 

[JamesIII]

All musicals suck, I just sit there waiting for the last song to get the torment over with.

Homophobe.

 

[Wrong]

Rock of Ages was fantastic. You make any money on that Dennis?

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Yes. But less than I should have. The producers were half incompetent half corrupt. Fortunately they were too incompetent to completely screw the investors over.

 

[ukalum01]

- Been on the back porch for the last 4 hours doing nothing. Half tempted to sleep out here.

- Legends game tomorrow night. Minor league baseball during the 4th of July weekend just feels right.

- On that note, can't imagine how much better the Legends and Lex would be if they had put that ballpark downtown. Missed opportunity.

- Podcast pet peeve... Having a great guest to interview is nearly irrelevant if you spend the whole time talking over them/asking questions with no regard to their answer and solely to give your take/enjoying your own voice/etc.

There are a lot of very interesting people with podcasts out there who have no idea how to get out of their own way.

Sounds like you are talking about Adam Carolla, who injects 30 minutes of his history for every 10 minutes his guests give. Simmons is pretty bad bad too, but when he has a real guest (rarely) he keeps it on them. Aceman thinks all roads lead to Carolla or Mangria.

 

[SAECATFAN]

So a podcast is generally just some ******* talking about a range of subjects for an extended period of time? I have that right? And people are into this?

 

[BBdK]

2:50am seems like a solid first night, bub.

- If you want experience some justice with this, listen to Matt Jones' podcast interview with Sean Farnham from last season. Farnham ***** all over him for doing exactly this and it was great. (I like Jones and don't mean to crush him. I like 'eem.)

- My wife plopped my son into bed to nurse him this morning (a routine I readily sleep through). This time however, his lower back was covered in **** and it made it onto the sheets and duvet before she realized it and scooped him up three seconds later. It was quite the alarm clock. Also, we are at my in-laws in Canada where I have no reason to wake up early, if at all, before lunch and all I wanted to do was sleep in. Vacation!!!

(Double post due to Canuck Wifi)

Enjoy this beverage review podcast's sugar free Coke episode. (Probably my fav 'cast at the moment.)

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

If ya think about, in essence GYERO is one never ending podcast.

 

[Wrong]

Jones had been pretty good on his podcast but his one with Sonka this week was awful. He wouldn't let Sonka get in a word and kept talking about his political project.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Mags... Time to give the people what they want, The GYERO Roundtable Discussion Podcast.

- On that note, can't imagine how much better the Legends and Lex would be if they had put that ballpark downtown. Missed opportunity.

There is interest in getting it relocated downtown within the next few years and serious talk going on between the players that could make it happen. Isaac forced it into its current location because she is a nitwit, and the previous owners/managers didn't push back hard enough. The original plan was to put it in the parking lot behind Rupp, which would have been the perfect location.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Rupp's metal siding would be a magical backdrop, indeed.

Better than a bingo hall and pill mill.

Counterpoint: Indi's is pretty close.

 

[80 Proof]

Counterpoint: Indi's is pretty close.

Per Google Maps, Indi's is a 3 minute drive from both Rupp and Whitaker Bank ball park.

 

[mashburned]

It's 2 min from dowtown.

 

[SAECATFAN]

F Google Maps.

Guy came in the bar yesterday with a Texas Western shirt on. Thinking it was someone just wearing a shirt, I asked him what he knew about Texas Western. We went back and forth for a bit about the '66 championship and come to find out it was David Haskins, Don's son. Very nice guy and lives in the Keys (Marathon) now.

Only thing I wanted to check him on was how badly he wanted to get into the Rupp was racist part of conversation. Told him I never watched Glory Road because I knew how it ended already. He could tell I was biting my tongue a bit and we agreed he was a "product of his time" like most people then and moved on to other things.

It was pretty funny though when he said, "My dad wasn't some forward thinking civil rights guy. He just thought it was the best basketball tactic to start your 5 best players." We both had a laugh and he took off.

 

[Mossip]

Had the butcher cut me a 2.5" strip to sous vide. Think I got a little carried away (coupled with the fact that I always underestimate distances/sizing).

NBA free agency numbers must make NFL players livid. Apparently DeMar Derozan is more valuable than Andrew Luck. And Mosgov's deal [roll].

Looks like rain on the way in Indy, but the weather is a fantastic in the upper 70's with a breeze. Got the windows up giving the AC a rest.

What is the best driver for someone with zero golf experience? Callaway XR?

[PTI Anon1640710541]

It's Essence Fest here in town this week. A lot of the best bars and restaurants in the Quarter close down. For the, uhhhh....holidays and stuff. Uber drivers hate it, too.



So, yeah. Team Rupp. IMO.

 

[joeyrupption]

A 3-wood.

 

[Mossip]

I thought I might get that sorta response.

 

[B Rax_rivals210137]

The Legends would be better off in Hamburg, imo.

Also, the Legends color scheme and mascot is stupid as hell. Needs to be the secretariats and use the blue and white checkers

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

If Mitch had any balls he would find a way to have a live Wildcat live in some form of an controlled exhibit near the entrance of Commonwealth. Similar to Mike the Tiger in Death Valley. Sure the animal rights activist would throw a fit but if you wanted to make it happen it could happen.

Nope. That would be way too cool and would get the fans way too rowdy.
