I don't or can't do outdoor shows though.

Have fun!


I'm fully expecting to have issues with the volume level and the crowd, but I absolutely adore Tool, so I thought I might be willing to put up with it. If there's any concert I can stand, it will be this one. But it's reassuring that you enjoy concerts despite having the same sensory issues, that makes me more hopeful that I will be able to thoroughly enjoy it too :) I know I'm going to love it if I can tolerate those things, I am very excited :D

I avoid general admission or floor seats but I've managed with them. If you have seats (or better still, accessible seating which is larger and designed for wheelchairs), you'll have enough room to move but still feel like your personal space is protected. The lighting and the music will make everyone else disappear. I've always been a fan of live music but like I said, outdoor shows are a no-no for me.

At Elton there was a really nice middle aged banker-type lady beside me at the accessible seating area. She was the stereotypical conservative type you would imagine with a pearl necklace and Hillary Clinton pantsuit. That type. lol. Totally not my thing. But, I had so much fun and I was dancing so much we ended up holding hands and swing dancing together!

It was so loud there is no conversation but we just laughed and had fun. My cousin was like, 8O ! to see me swing dance with Hillary Clinton. lolll

(I won't comment on whether I had a few pints as well). lol

Seems like so much has been 'learned' from the 007 series in terms of how to do action and spy movies that it's 'due for a paradigm shift' after Daniel Craig winds down.


I wd watch one in which he fights anti-autism and anti disabled ppl

government ppl like Doug Ford n his minions

You wouldn't need to send James Bond to deal with that deplorable, just a crack dealer with a vendetta, who respects omertà and packs a beretta to wet 'im and settle it. 8)

Sometimes I wonder...

How many here would willingly indulge themselves into the ever encumbering, uncertainty and overwhelming chaos?

If Buddhism isn't viable as a theory of mind (science) or a religion/philosophical pessimism (Ligotti), it might still be viable as a form of anarchism.

I grew up on Spider-man and the X-men, never saw any reason to not like the Fantastic four but wasn’t really into the Avengers (* in comics*) until near the end of the ‘MCU Phase 1’ :mrgreen: .

“Derealization” is a dissociative phenomenon that causes the external world to feel dreamlike. 74% of people have experienced it.
