Phone Truth

 One thing phone shopping lately has shown me is that phones have changed a lot since I was a kid. Sometimes nothing beats the feel of a vintage phone. This joke has a point, and so I made a censored version where we can all imagine they are saying freaking.

The Show

 I managed to catch the Norfolk show for Birthday Massacre at Elevation 27 club. The light show and sound system was amazing.  It made me want to visit Norfolk far more often. I got a hotel in town to avoid the traffic driving back. I was so happy to see live music again the band could have come out and kicked me in the head, and I still would have loved it. Seeing a really great new album performance was an extra bonus!

Phone Change

 The Sprint T-Mobile merger jacked my phone bill sky high. I am now shopping for a new phone. Friends may need to ask for my new phone number soon. I will keep two phones active for a while for the switch over.

Truth of the Day

 Some lady yelled at me for walking my dog near her house this weekend. You could ask politely first before screaming first thing you know…

Concert Con Artists

 Beware the concert con artists out there in March and April. This month many scammers in Virginia have tried to double and triple charge my credit cards for event tickets. Promoters went broke in the pandemic, and are resorting to vicious methods to make cash. This includes changing concert dates constantly, and then charging you twice for the “new” show you already paid for on your card. Below is a sample of one of them. I am going to go out of town for a while for events as Richmond has become a particularly vicious hot spot for fraud.

Strange Show Time Change

 I see this link saying “Show for March Tickets Selling out now” on the Broadberry and buy tickets. I call to confirm show times at the venue and they say the show has been changed to 2023! Plus they changed the show day and time twice before that changeover, and I saved screenshots! Why would you even sell tickets for 2023 in 2022? In the same month? Be careful of “March Show” listings in Richmond. I am going to bad Yelp them so hard for the show they said was March 12 of 2022 on the first listing online. I was almost dressed up and at the venue with no show to go to before I found out about the new changed dates. 

I am trying to rebuild my social life after a divorce, cross-country move, and pandemic. Richmond is saying here’s stuff to do… psych… None for you!

Night Out

 Me before a concert and dance night in downtown Richmond, Virginia Friday March 18, 2022. As I am badly missing the fun of Austin, TX my former home as it is SXSW Music Festival there I decided to catch some local music here. I took some filter free photos before the night out. I got a bit extra small at Anytime Fitness Gym this week, and figured I would show it off a bit.

Computer Broken

 One of my computers broke down this week, and I am getting it repaired. Send me phone messages and not e-mail this week.

Music Night Weekend

 Time to go out for a music night weekend! I am really hating being single, dateless, and divorced in Virginia, and you are not going to meet new dates on the sofa. In other towns my social life is great, but men around here seem to need dating motivation. Nothing fires cupid’s arrow like good music, and so I am off to meet new people. https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/
