Goddamn it I thought I was a theater nerd until these jokes, lmao

I mean literally, they had wings and everything and also did not respond at all when I called out "You."

Subtle brag that I've lived near NYC for a few weeks this year and managed to scrape up enough cash to see a couple new things on my humble budget. Buena Vista Social Club had some of the best live music and dancing I've ever seen. Hadestown is the revolutionary musical of our time, I'm convinced.

Hi I was just about to post the same thing, lol. Sawyer's one of the only water filter brands at Academy Outdoors/Walmart (it seems, from my limited experience) so they're quickly accessible, but yeah, that bag is rough to use.

I don't want to get too deep because I'm not set up to sell clothes at the sec, but sourcing fabric on a consumer level vs. a wholesale level would drive up the cost a lot too. Idk. As I work this sewing job I'll think on it.

I worked a fast-paced night event last night so I feel groggy and stupid, but I mostly just wanna say I'm really excited to get time to play with color.

This is my entire life, so I have the time to invest that kind of energy for myself and friends, but selling them would be a lot. I did just get some professional sewing work recently so I might get faster and more skilled, but yeah, it's never going to be easily affordable in current circumstances.

I was thinking probably a few hours for copying the pattern, and like a day and a half to two days in building and problem solving, and then it'd be a matter of seeing how long a pair takes when I know what I'm doing (prolly not less than 4-6 hours with 90s dad pockets cutting fabric myself, idk?)

Goddammit I have a sewing machine and some basic pattern-transfer knowledge. Getting something vintage and stealing the pattern for some duplicates might be the level I'm willing to go at this point.

I don't really care how my butt looks, I want to be able to move around cozily and have big pockets.

Omg exactly. Currently looking around for outdoors 90's dad cargo pants that comfortably fit a hippy femme and it's hard times.

This is my first listen to Assassins since I was introduced to it as a teenager, and I definitely appreciate it more now, but I feel like it's almost reached time-capsule status for the late 1980s. It's not shocking to say American culture is violent anymore. We know.

I had a road trip this spring where I listened to Hadestown on repeat for days. Day 4 I finally tried to turn on Sweeny Todd (which I've loved before) and within the first two songs I turned it off. I guess I'm sick of media pointing out social problems without solutions now that we're fully in it.

Assassins is either the perfect or the worst musical for these times. I feel like Hadestown is aspirational and modern, Assassins is good but its def a sardonic Sondheim musical (Sweeney Todd but analyzing America's assassination culture). It's important and interesting, but doesn't provide answers.

I am a big fan of "no wasted experience," particularly since I haven't always had complete control of my life (who does, really? A lucky few maybe.). Nice to know there were skills gleaned in the "idle" moments.
