2023.05.30 18:16 JAWIBRIGGS Planning to Move to NOLA/FQ
Looking for more local and unfiltered advice/opinions. Sorry it's a lot of info and a lot of questions.
Me (30M) and my partner (28M) are planning to move to New Orleans in August of this year. We are an interracial gay couple, both originally from Texas, but we have been living in Seattle for the past three years.
Seattle hasn't been bad. It's a beautiful city with a lot of amazing nature outside of its borders and some truly amazing food from its immigrant communities (East African, Southeast Asian). However, the cost of living is not worth it in my opinion, and honestly, the culture here is not a good fit for us either. There is more racism and elitism than we were counting on (way more), there is a 6% Black population that makes everything feel overwhelmingly white, and the social standards here just dropped the common courtesy and basic respect I thought was universal coming from the south (it's not).
I am going for a new job that would enable me to work from anywhere. And we settled on New Orleans. For many reasons, chief of those being food and culture.
But here are the questions I need help on from real people and residents.
- Outsider Syndrome - I've lived in a couple different major cities, and they are all a little different on how they approach transplants. How welcoming is New Orleans?
- Gay Issues - Coming from Texas, have dealt with a lot of homophobia even in major cities like Dallas and Houston. How is that in NOLA? Do I have to worry about being assaulted either verbally or physically when out with my partner?
- Racism - Obviously New Orleans is a majority black city, but how is the surrounding Louisiana area outside the city? We like to get out and shoot, fish and are pretty outdoorsy. Do we need to worry if we start hearing banjos?
- Crime/Neighborhoods - We are looking at the French Quarter, mainly because I like walkable neighborhoods and am in love with the old New Orleans architecture. Also hear its safer. We've lived in some rough neighborhoods in Dallas, Norfolk, and Seattle - but looking at the rates, New Orleans is almost double most of those for violent crime. Am I safe walking home at night drunk alone? (I'm an effeminate, skinny, gay white boy - these are often targets in places like Dallas).
- Dogs - We have one dog, a 2.5 year old hound/heeler mix. She is deaf, so we aren't worried about the noise of the French Quarter. Does New Orleans have good dog-friendly parks or off-leash areas? I have googled a few, some of the reviews were scary though.
Thank you for all the advice and information. We hope to savor your beautiful city in the next few months, and I am very excited for that chapter!

2023.05.29 05:47 Akira_Reviews [Combination Skin] Reviews of A'Pieu Pure Block Waterproof Sun Cream, CeraVe Sunscreen Stick and Derma Co. Hyaluronic Invisible Sunscreen Gel
In the past few months, I've used these 3 sunscreen amongst others. Sharing a Quick Review of my experience.
Skin Type: Combination skin, Oily T-zone
Climate: Hot & Moderately Humid
Age: 30
1) A'Pieu Pure Block Waterproof Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++ https://maccaron.in/en/products/apieu_pure-block-waterproof-sun-cream-spf50pa/13146/ Price: 730 for 50gm, but is mostly available for around Rs. 450 bucks.
Usage Time: 2 weeks
Current AM/PM Routine: Angel Face wash
Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Zinc Oxide, Cyclohexasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Octocrylene, Sodium Chloride, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Isostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Fragrance(Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Dimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Punica Granatum Extract, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Vanilla Tahitensis Fruit Extract, Citrulline, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Flower Extract, Prunus Domestica Seed Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Flower Extract
Fragrance: Even though it's listed as an Ingredient, didn't feel any.
Texture: Liquid
Finish: Matte
My Experience: This was the most heartbreaking Sunscreen ever. You may wonder why!!
Well, have you ever found a perfect match only to have one flaw ruin everything? That's my journey with this Sunscreen.
This Sunscreen has everything - Waterproof, Sweatproof, Sandproof (I don't know such thing exists), Non-greasy, adequate sun protection, like it checks all the boxes to become your HG.
Except One. Horrible white cast
It gave a matte finish on my combination skin, very comfortable to wear but have such a white cast that it was so difficult to blend. The white cast is difficult to ignore on my fair skin, it almost felt as if I've dabbed too much powder on my face.
I've not yet found a sunscreen under this budget that felt so amazing on skin, but the white cast is just too loud on my face to ignore. Sadly, I won't be purchasing it again. Hoping they reformulate and do something about the white cast.

2)
CeraVe Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 0.47 Ounce Mineral Sunscreen for Kids & Adults https://amzn.eu/d/ieRcTnv Price: Available for Rs. 2000 on Amazon, before discounts. I bought it Rs. 800 from an IG thrift store.
Type: Mineral Sun Stick
Ingredients: Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide Inactive Ingredients: C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Paraffin, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Ozokerite, Dimethicone, Beeswax, Polyethylene, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II, Ceramide 1, Cholesterol, Phytosphingosine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, BHT, Carbomer, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Isostearic Acid, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Xanthan Gum
AM/PM routine: I've mostly used it for re-application since months, so do not remember the exact routine.
Fragrance: None
Usage Time: Quite inconsistent with this coz I don't like the finish.
Claims: Water Resistant, Non-comedogenic, suitable for sensitive skin and children.
My Experience: This is my first ever sunstick, and will probably be my last. I thought using sunstick is supposed to be a smooth experience, but I didn't enjoy the experience this brought.
First, It gives off a white cast, then post application, I've to blend it with my fingers. I thought I wouldn't need to blend in case of sun stick.
Second, There was a mild tugging of skin involved . The application ain't as smooth as I would've expected.
Third, The feel of it on skin was not comfortable. It felt sticky.
Not to forget, I could see tiny particles getting stuck on the stock, maybe from my skin itself during application or external forces. That made me question the hygiene using a sunstick.
All of this pretty much turned me off. I found myself not reaching for it daily.

3)
Derma Co. Hyaluronic Invisible Sunscreen Gel with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E - 50g https://thedermaco.com/product/hyaluronic-invisible-sunscreen-gel-with-hyaluronic-acid-vitamin-e-50g Price: Rs. 599/- for 50g
Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, Octyl Salicylate, Tocopheryl Acetate, PEG-8 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (and) Water (and) Octyldodeceth-25 (and) Sodium Hyaluronate.
AM/PM Routine: Angel Face wash
Fragrance: None
Texture: Transparent gel
Finish: Matte
Usage Time: Approx a month
Claims: Can be used as primer base for makeup, Ideal for all skin types
My Experience: I hated it. From the moment I bought it, It used to pill. Prior to this, I never understood when people commented on their Sunscreen pilling, but this Sunscreen introduced me to what pilling means.
I could also never understand if I blended my Sunscreen properly. I tried different ways, twice also used it on my hands, thinking maybe it was me who wasn't blending properly leading to all the pilling. But no, It pilled everywhere.
As a person wearing specs, it Sunscreen pilling on your glasses and in this summer heat mixing with your sweat is just gross.
So No, I'm never getting it again and never recommending anyone to get it. Proper to this, I've used Conscious Chemist SPF 30 Invisible Sunscreen, that was so comfortable and never once pilled. So there are probably good invisible sunscreen out there, just not this one

2023.05.27 08:42 DeathReaper130 Dallas Wings Game #2 Analysis
In this post as the title states, I'll be recapping and giving my analysis on what I noticed with the Dallas Wing's 2nd game today which was against the Seattle Storm.
Part #1 - Offense:
Arike Ogunbowale: ARIKE IS HER!!! Arike had a fantastic game today and led the Wings in scoring with 26 points and practically played the entire game (39 minutes). Pretty much every play involving her in the first half of the game was a highlight reel. She was hitting contested jumpers, stepbacks, fadeaways, you name it. Aside from the scoring, she had some good hustle plays which led to steals and even made some flashy passes. Going along the topic of passing, Arike also had 6 assists this game. For a player with a career average of about 3 assists and who is known for playing hero ball, it was very nice to see Arike passing the ball and getting her teammates involved in the game. She took a step back on the offensive in the 3rd quarter and this is where 4 of her 6 assists came during. The only downside to Arike this game was her playing hero ball in the 4th quarter. In my opinion, this was one of two reasons which almost cost the game for the Wings as the Storm cut the lead to 2 points with about a minute left in the game. As mentioned previously, Arike played well in the first 3 quarters of the game. She scored 18 points in the first two quarters and took a step back in scoring in the 3rd quarter to focus on facilitating the offense as the Storm defense stepped up on her (this quarter being where Arike got 4 of her 6 assists for the game). The fourth quarter however was another story for Arike. She struggled in the 4th quarter but it more due to herself and her decisions rather than the Storm defense (although the Storm defense did play a small role in stopping her). Arike, as a player, is kind of known for playing hero ball and this is what she showed in the 4th quarter, which was one of the reasons that almost cost the Wings the game. At the 2:45 mark, the score was 91 - 84 in favor of the Wings. For this last 2:45, Arike took all the shots for the Wings, except the final shot of the game. Now the issue with Arike doing this was that the shots were not good shots. She was playing hero ball and forcing shots in an attempt to further the lead for the Wings but she was doing the complete opposite rather. The last 2:40 where Arike was taking the shots involved a deep stepback three which missed, a highly contested mid range floater which ended up scoring and a heavily contested mid range pull up which missed. In this stretch while Arike scored 2 points, the Storm went on a 7-0 and brought the game to only a two point game at 93 - 91 with the Wings still favored. The Storm end up missing a shot which then leads to the Wings taking a three which missed. However, Satou Sabally ended up getting the offensive rebound and scoring a shot under the bucket with about 4 seconds left in the game, giving the increasing the Wings lead to 4 with the score at 95 - 91 and pretty much sealing the game. In terms of Arike as mentioned a couple times, she loves to play hero ball and it's almost like she has an itch to shoot the ball whenever she gets her hands on it. In the 4th quarter, the Seattle Storm started double teaming Arike which seemed to have gotten her frustrated as she wasn't able to get any shots off. Thus in the last minutes of the game, she made sure she got the ball and took whatever shots she could, even if they were bad shots. Now don't get me wrong, Arike is a fantastic player and a really great shooter. However in crunch time and especially when the game is still pretty close, the offense has to be a team effort rather than one player chucking up shots. Especially since the Wings already had the advantage with a small lead, all they had to do was move the ball around to run the clock and until they got someone who was more open to take the shot. Overall, I thought Arike did well this game but she needs to be more of a team player during the final moments of the game, especially when things aren't going in her way.
Satou Sabally: After making the shot with 4 seconds left to seal away the game for the Wings, Sabally earns the nickname SaBULLY. She ripped a clutch offensive rebound from a Storm player off a Dangerfield missed three and scored an easy bucket in the paint to put the Wings up 4 with four seconds left. Furthermore, she was tied for the Wing's second leading scorer with 17 points (tied with Crystal Dangerfield). For the most part, she was taking good shots and she made the buckets when it was needed the most, especially during the final offensive possession for the Wings. I mentioned in one of my earlier posts on this subreddit, which was about Dallas being a underrated superteam this year, that I expected Sabally to step up her game this year and sure enough that's what she's been doing. After averaging about 12 points per game in her career before this season, Sabally is averaging about 21 points per game this season through the first two games which is an incredible start. I don't see any reason why she can't keep this up and I expect her to get even better throughout the season. At this rate, the Wings could very well end up with 4 very high caliber players on their team (the obvious 3 being Arike, Howard, and Teaira and the 4th possibly being Sabally) and this would make the Wings even more of a superteam than what I already consider them to be. Overall, I thing Sabally did great this game and I expect her to continue to play at this level throughout the season.
Natasha Howard: Natasha Howard had a fine game offensively in my opinion. She ended the game with 16 points but wasn't that efficient in her shooting, going 7-17 from the field (41.18%). However, I think she more than deserves to be cut the slack from this due to her defensive effort on the game which I'll be explaining later on in this post. She started off the 1st quarter hot going 4-6 from inside the paint but for the rest of the game was taking a couple shots here and there. As previously mentioned, Howard's focus for this game was more on the defensive end of the game rather than the offensive. Despite this however, the fact that she still scored 16 points while not even focusing much on the offense is a good sign since I know for sure that she's more than capable of scoring more if she wanted to. Overall, Howard also did well this game and she'll get better looks to score in the future games as she'll be able to conserve her energy on the defensive end as she gets more help (when Teaira McCowans returns).
Rest Of The Team: As for the rest of the team, I thought they also did well offensively. With Teaira McCowans ruled out for this game due to her knee injury, someone else needed to step up scoring wise for the Wings. In today's game, it was Crystal Dangerfield who scored 17 points (tied with Sabally for the second highest scorer on the team) as she entered the starting lineup. She was also very efficient, going 6-9 (66.67%) from the field and 3-5 (60%) from the three. Almost all of her shots were good looks and high quality shots so that worked in favor for her as she was able to hit them with ease. Burton provided 9 points and Jasmine Dickey provided 10 points off the bench. Overall scoring wise, everyone who played meaningful minutes in the game contributed well so that's good.
Part #2 - Defense:
Natasha Howard: Natasha Howard was amazing today on the defensive end. With Teaira McCowans ruled out for todays game, she knew she had to step up on the defensive end for this game and she more than exceeded expectations. She was the focal point of the Wings' paint defense and ended the game with 5 steals and 4 blocks, which is very great defensive wise. Aside for the numbers and stats, her defensive presence in the paint was still scary, even without McCowans, as the Storm were forced to take tough shots in the paint or second guess themselves when shooting or passing out. Natasha Howard also played practically the entire game (39 minutes) and her defensive effort was a huge contributor to the Wings' win today. This was the main reason why I think she didn't score as much on the offensive end. Howard put almost all of her energy on the defensive end in stopping the Storm that by the time the offense came around for the Wings, Howard was just focused on taking easy shots in the paint or somewhat open shots on the court. Overall, I think Howard had a great game today both offensively and defensively and she was the MVP of the game in my opinion.
Rest Of The Team: I thought the rest of the team did fine on the defensive end. The first quarter was actually probably some of the best defense that I have seen from the Wings. The Wings held the Storm to 6-19 from the field (31.57%). Furthermore, the most of the points which the Storm did end up scoring that quarter were from transitions and open looks. The defense of the Wings overall this game was good. They played like one unit rather than individual players. On the perimeter, the guards always switched on screens and were able to contest most of the shots that the Storm were taking. In the paint as mentioned before, Howard was doing her thing. Furthermore, I loved how Howard was able to see the Storm's offense and decide when it was necessary to provide help defense to her teammate. There were a couple plays where this happened where Howard had to leave her defender to help her teammate double team a Storm player with the ball in the paint. As a result, someone was left open on the Storm for a brief moment but the Wings did a good job at shifting their players around until their defense reset. Furthermore, Howard got great help from Sabally in the rebounding effort as she ended up grabbing 10 boards this game, giving her a double double. The only issue with the Wings' defense, which was especially evident in this game, was that they were being abused in transitions. Most of the buckets in this game from the Storm were actually fast break points and in-transition points, where the Wing's defense was still getting back to set up. For example, Howard was definitely tired during this game as she played 39 minutes so it was definitely taking some time for her to get back on defense on the plays where the Storm pushed the pace and took easy buckets in the paint, especially in the 3rd quarter which led to them starting to make a run back into the game. Once the storm can make some adjustments on their fast break and transition defense, I think their overall entire defense would be almost unstoppable. Getting Teaira McCowns back would definitely help with this as Howard wouldn't have to put as much effort on the defensive end in the paint by herself.
Dallas Wing's Defensive Shot Breakdown: I've mentioned this in a couple of posts but I've noticed a pattern in the WNBA which I call the 50-30-20 rule. Essentially, this means that 50% of all shots taken and points scored by a team are in the paint, 30% of all shots taken and points scored by a team are in the mid-range, and 20% of all shots taken and points scored by a team are from behind the arc. Therefore, I'll be listing how the Dallas Wings' defense affected from where the Storm were forced to take their shots and score their points from.
Paint: 15 - 34 -- 47.22% of all shots taken and 41.67% of all points scored (not with free throws)
Mid-Range: 6 - 12 -- 16.67% of all shots taken and 16.67% of all points scored (not with free throws)
3 Point: 10 - 26 -- 36.11% of all shots taken and 41.67% of all points scored (not with free throws)
By looking at these breakdowns, we can compare it to my 50-30-20 rule. In terms of shots taken, we can see the biggest discrepancies lie between the mid-range and three point areas. The Wings ended up forcing the Storm to take a higher frequency of threes at 36.11% of all shots compared to a normal amount of 20%. Furthermore the Wings defense forced the Storm to take less mid-range shots at 16.67% of all shots compared to a normal amount of 30%. As for the paint, the Wings kept the Storm slight under the average of 50% of all shots by keeping them around 47.22% of all shots but that isn't that big of a discrepancy. Furthermore, we can take a look at the percent of all points scored aside from free throws. We see clearly that the Wings for the most part eliminated the mid-range game and forced the Storm to either drive the ball into the paint against Howard or shoot the three ball as both those zones made up 41.67% of all shots each. Therefore overall, we see that the Wings did slightly better than expected in terms of defense in the paint, did amazing in terms of defense in the mid-range, and did amazing in terms of defense beyond the arc. The Wings forced the Storm to take almost double the number of shots from three in respect to what a team would normally shoot. This itself is a huge win for the Wing's defense as it shows that the Storm had to rely much more on shooting from behind the arc, which is generally harder than shooting from either the mid-range or in the paint.
Part #3 - Referees:
Now as I mentioned before in the post, Arike playing hero ball in the crunch time in the 4th quarter was one of the two reasons which almost cost the game for the Wings. The second reason was the referees and the officiating. Now typically, I'm not the type of person to complain about referees or foul calls or stuff in that nature. My general rule is that if fouls are being called on one end of the court for something, they should also be equally called on the other end of the court. Now if you look at the box stats of the game along, it would seem like the officiating was pretty fair on both ends. Wings shots 13 free throws and the Storm shot 20 free throws which isn't too far apart. Furthermore, the Wings had 17 fouls while the Storm had 18 fouls. However, this wasn't really the case for much of the game. At half time, the Wings only shot 2 free throws while the Storm shot 12 free throws. Especially in the first half, it seemed like almost every call was going in favor of the Storm. There were a few plays throughout the game where when the Wings player would make a move, no foul would be called by the referees but the very next play when the Storm would do the exact same move, the Wings would be called for a foul. There were two plays which I remember off the top of my head which were my opinion poorly called fouls against the Wings. One of them was a play where Sabally drove in the lane and drew contact for what should have been an And One shot in the paint. Furthermore, the defender jumped along with Sabally into the shot in an attempt to prevent it from going in. Somehow, this gets called as an offensive foul on Sabally when the Storm defender was up in the air jumping to defend the shot (there was no use of elbows or push offs being done by Sabally as well as it was a simple contact shot in the paint). Another instance was Natasha Howard's screen set on Jewell Lloyd near the end of the 4th quarter. Howard was setting a screen in the backcourt on Jewell Lloyd as the Wings were bringing the ball up court. None of Lloyd's teammates warned her of Howard being there for the screen and Lloyd runs right into Howard, falls down, and the referees call an offensive foul on Howard. On replay review, it was shown how Howard was standing still but eventually was still called for a common foul. I personally think that the referees made this game much closer than it should have been in slight favor for the Storm. You could also just tell by all the players on the Wings that they were sick of the fouls being called. Sabally and Arike, especially, were getting very frustrated as they both ended up with 4 fouls in the game. Now once again, I'm not saying that all the fouls called by the referees were not fair. I'm just saying that there were some controversial calls which turned the tide of the game as well as it seeming like there was a slight first half discrepancy in favor of the Storm. Come in the second half, the calls were a bit more fair towards both teams so it ended up balancing out in the end.
Final Recap: I think the Wings did pretty well this game overall. They improved on some aspects from last game such as the perimeter defense throughout the game. In Game #1, the Wings got torched by the Dream from beyond the arc in the first quarter and ended up fixing their defense in the second quarter onward. In this game, the Wings kept their perimeter defense more consistent throughout the game. The other aspect which I thought the Wings improved on was their paint defense without Teaira McCowans. In Game #1 against the Dream, McCowans didn't play in the second half of the game and the Wings had trouble adjusting Howard with Kuier in the paint. In this game, the Wings seemed to figure out on relying more on Howard than Kuier and using Kuier only when necessary. Furthermore, Sabally was able to step up at time to help out Howard in the paint. As mentioned previously in the post, transition and fast break defense still needs to be worked on a bit as that's probably the biggest weakness that I see in the Wings' defense. Overall, if these adjustments can be made and Arike can stop playing hero ball in the crunch time 4th quarters, I think the Wings will be almost unstoppable this year. They play again next on Sunday against the Chicago Sky and this should be a great test of how good this team is as the Sky are a pretty good team in my opinion. Regardless, the Wings are 2-0 now so that's a great start to the season as they've never started a season 2-0 since 2007, which they were still known as the Detroit Shock back then.

2023.05.27 05:26 codmike86 No Man's Sky Concept - Gunship Update - Ship interiors - Bounty Hunting - Turrets and more!
Another concept I have: a new ship that features an all new interior, ship turrets, co-pilot seats, and passenger seats.
The Gunship - The Gunship is a new ship class that acts as an armed mobile transport featuring:
- Wing and deck turrets: All new automated and piloted wing turrets that fire a powerful laser.
- Two co-pilot seats: The Gunship features not one, but TWO co-pilot seats which are used to control the ship, and wing turrets
- A unique, new engine that allows you to hover, as well as ascend and descend. Once your ship is hovering, holding onto deceleration makes your ship descend, but holding the acceleration while holding onto the deceleration will allow you to make your ship ascend, making landings a lot more versatile
- A ship interior that houses passengers, featuring 4 passenger seats, 2 prisoner cells, and 2 control stations that control the deck turrets. While doing rescue missions, the rescued person is seen roaming around your ship until you complete the mission
- A ramp that opens to allow pilots and passengers into the ship
- 2 prison cells that could house wanted fugitives
- A door in the interior that allows you to select your preferred pilot seat
- A new auto pilot module that enables your ship to remain em route while you are not controlling it, allowing you to roam around your ship, interact with passengers or prisoners, and/or man your turrets while under attack
- New Bounty Hunter Missions
- The mission vendor and Anomaly now feature an all new mission that requires you to locate a wanted fugitive. These fugitives will be held in your prisoner cells, interacting with them is not recommended, they tend to be very bitter.
- New Bounty Hunter quest
- The station needs your help! Take part in a new quest that guides you onto a local mercenary's gunship. Upon stepping into the Gunship, you become part of a range of unique encounters such as defending your convoy via turret, co piloting the Gunship to destroy pirates, and learning how to maneuver with the new hovering system. Completing this quests gifts you with a free procedurally generated gunship used by the mercenary, as well as a new jetpack and helmet
- New Bounty Hunter jetpack and helmet
- Upon completing the Bounty Hunter Quest, you are rewarded with two new items:
- The New Bounty hunter jetpack features a unique compact design with side boosters, and a cone shaped fuel tank on the center forged to strike fear on wanted fugitives. (based off the Mandalorian jetpack with side boosters and round cone at the center pointing up)
- The New Bounty Hunter helmet was forged for those trying make their way in the universe. They feature a sleek design and unique T-shaped visor meant to symbolize authority and justice (based off Mandalorian and clone trooper helmets from Star Wars)
I know this is one of many ideas that HG would ignore, but this concept is something that was fun to come up with, due to the demand for ship interiors and multi-seat ships. Let me know what you think

The return of Ricky Steamboat as Main Event considering he is just off working mid cards for WWF may be an issue as well as Vicious, Windham and Hall all out injured. Lex Luger is working a storyline injury and expected back for the event. Star power is seen as thin as you work down the card with many acts like The Freebirds feeling stale now. The target for Starrcade 1991 is a creative triumph, something they can really build on leading into 1992. WCW News November 24 to December 29th Ricky Steamboat and Sting defeated Larry Zbyszko and Steve Austin only to be attacked by Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton after the match. The Steiners run in for the save. The Steiners will defend the WCW World Tag Team Titles against Anderson and Eaton at Starrcade. Sting challenged Steve Austin for the WCW World Television Title by the match ended in DQ with 'Maniac' Matt Borne attacked Sting brutally with a Kendo Stick. Borne later cut a promo Borne had a big smile as he spoke at first "Sting I'm such a big fan. Love the face paint, I love the bright attires, I love the charisma what I don't love to the sound of those screaming fans" Borne looks serious "Sting you control the masses, you shape the thoughts and minds of many" Laughs "It's nearly like a cult" Sinister "Or is that just what it is?" I hear those mindless fans screaming in the dark for you Sting and I think it's all too far, this isn't fandom anymore it's worship and that makes me uncomfortable Stinger, yes it does. So I came to the ring during your match just because I wanted to create some peace, some rest for those poor mindless disciples in the audience, the broken children in the darkness so I hit you in the head again and again and again and again and again..." Borne becomes frenzied then suddenly calm. "Then there was silence. After Starrcade Sting, the silence will be eternal" Jim Ross on commentary adds "That guy is broken, it's scary" Michael Hayes turned on Jimmy Garvin after a lose to the Young Pistols. Hayes sucker punched Garvin after the match. Both men have cut great promos settingg up a big match for Starrcade. WCW TV is averaging a 4.7 rating across the board which is down on previous year.

2023.05.26 03:07 owliecats Walkmen Fan Q&A from 2010
Since the Walkmen's old message boards are gone, this subreddit seems like a good place to re-share a couple fan Q&A posts. I was the forum admin and would compile questions from the fans, email the band, and post their replies. We did a few Q&A posts over the years but could only find two saved. Will post the other shortly.
The Official 2010 Forum Fan Q&A with The Walkmen!
Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving to all - the 2010 Forum Q&A is officially here! The guys took some time during their recent European tour to answer some questions from their loyal fans on the forum, and Walt kindly typed them up and sent them along. Without further ado.....
What would be the band's dream festival lineup if you could book any 10 bands in the world from any time in history? and where would it be?
Billie Holiday
The Ronettes
Django Reinhardt
Velvet Underground
Richard Pryor
The Smiths
Shirley and Lee
Hank Williams
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Jimi Hendrix Experience
taking place at Ft. Reno in DC
What was your favorite festival appearance this year?
I liked doing Lollapalooza. I liked seeing Lady Gaga. I thought she was funny. I honestly think that every person watching her though she was awesome, she's very good with a crowd. I liked especially when she was raised up on this platform thing and she yelled "Its hot as fuck up here!"
Are there any venues or cities you visited for the first time in 2010 that you particularly liked?
I liked doing The Trocadero in Philly. It's a great place. Matt and Paul and I played there years ago in our old band opening for the Cramps and I'd forgotten about it.
I love the harmonies on Torch Song and All My Great Designs - What inspired you to add this new dimension to your music and will you be exploring similar musical territory in the future?
I think we'll always try to find new sounds. Back-ups like the ones we did on Lisbon make tons of sense to us. Its a very classic sound and one that you hear in all the music that we love. I don't know why it took us so long to try it.
When fine-tuning a new song you've already played live, do you consider input from family, friends, fans even? or is it pretty much a closed environment consisting of just the five of 'em plus the producer?
I ask my wife all the time what she thinks of new songs or parts while we're writing. She's very thoughtful about music and I trust her opinions on what we do.
With songs that evolve live and undergo so many changes, how do you decide on a final version? How do you know when a song is done?
Once we've totally digested it and we're all happy with it we know it’s done.
album art - For Lisbon, did you have a concept in mind, or did you see a piece/someone's work and think "that'd be perfect for our new album"?
I saw pictures by Luigi Ghirri at the Armory Art show in NYC and I wrote his name down because it looked sort of romantic and dreamy and also kinda tough. It seemed great for a Walkmen cover. Elizabeth Spiridakis who is an old friend of my wife (she did You & Me too) designed the cover using 2 Ghirri images and I thought it was great. And the Ghirri people were nice enough to let us use them.
For the next album, will you return to Dallas or any of the other studios that you've been recording at? Plan to work with John Congleton again?
I bet we'll try something new but who knows. Dallas was great. John C was great. And Chris Zane was amazing as usual. But we often do our best work in new environments - so who knows.
What exactly led to the stop-over at Sun Records? loved the video of those sessions!
They invited us to do a session and we said yes immediately. It was really actually pretty awesome. I loved being there in the very room where all of that stuff went down.
What are some of the band's favorite songs to play live? What are some songs you can't stand to play?
I love playing On the Water, Victory, Another One Goes By, Juveniles, Woe is Me, Blue as Yr Blood, Lisbon as well all the new ones. I might look calm or bored but I'm beaming on the inside.
How do you handle song requests from fans? Does it bother you when people shout out song requests in the middle of a show?
It’s nice to get requests and to make people happy. I don't like it when people start yelling "The Rat" right as we come on stage or after the first song. But when people come up to us and ask for a song we generally like to give em what they want. Why the hell not right?
What do the guys listen to in the van these days, and who gets to pick what they listen to?
We mostly read in the van actually. Its very very quiet.
If one of you were to write a review of a Walkmen album - which musical artists would you compare or refer to? What artist comparison would you see as a compliment?
I 'd compare it to the Pogues, Leonard Cohen, The Pixies probably. We are inspired by tons of stuff and we steal directly from loads of people but I think the end result could be most easily compared to a combination of these.
Now that you've had better European experiences in Lisbon, will you continue venturing into places like Germany and Scandinavia while touring?
I think so. It looks like we might finally do decently enough in the UK/Europe to start coming over here (I'm in Manchester now) a lot.
my Kiwi friend is dying to know - when will you come to New Zealand?
Yikes, i thought New Zealand was overrun by spiders and croc's and snakes.
Will the band ever consider doing runs of live dates to play through each album chronologically, start to finish?
Yeah, I think that'd be cool actually. I like when people do that. Ham and PeeWee Bauer and I were talking about that at dinner tonight actually.
Since it seems unlikely that you'll release a full live album, would you ever consider letting fans/forum members do a soundboard recording at one of your shows, just to share with other fans who really want full live shows at the best quality possible? (we've got a taper in Chicago who would probably give his left nut for that opportunity.)
Sure, but soundboard recordings sound pretty bad. If someone wanted to do a professional recording of one of our shows I bet we could figure out a use for it. They should contact our manager or us or something.
Who do we need to beg for vinyl reissues of Bows + Arrows and EWPTLMIG?
We're working on it. We really want those also. Its just a little complicated but we're actually really trying to make that happen.
About "Flamingos"- is there any story about why it is dedicated to Pepper Jack, or maybe what inspired the song? Did you play it originally during a soundcheck or something?
No the song was unrelated to Chris. We just love the guy and wanted to give him a shout out. I don't think he really cared though.
There was a song you played at Webster Hall in April 2009. It was about 2:30 long... Very short, intense and awesome. can't remember specific lyrics but am sure it is not on Lisbon... Maybe they remember? Could you ask them? Long shot, yes. But I'm telling you... this song was tremendous...
I have no idea - anything else you can remember?
Daytrotter appearances - we love the covers sessions! is the rumor of an upcoming Led Zeppelin cover session for real? when's the next one happening? have you ever considered doing a kind of Replacements "sh\t* hits the fan" cover with an unlikely band's songs?
I wanted to do a Led Zeppelin session but the date didn't happen at the last minute. We were gonna do Tangerine, Celebration Day, Braun Yr Stomp.
Do any of you ever read anything on the forums?
I go to the forum to see what new press we got since I don't know how to use the internet well enough to find it myself and you guys seem to find all the stuff. So thanks.
last one: please help us make sense of your setlists...what song does each "code name" equate to?
4th Meal - Red River
Beagle - Thinkin of a Dream I Had
Calypso - Ride Down the Highway
Cohen = On the Water
Curtain - I don't know
