1 year ago I posted here asking for band members. 1 year later, we are performing our first paid gig

Hi there, I am the OP from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento/comments/1nenwm9/looking_to_start_a_pop_punk_band_and_needing/

I ended up finding 2 guitarists and a bassist all from this reddit post! They were all actually really nice despite being total strangers! I filled out our drummer with a mutual friend of mine but I am lucky enough to consider all of these guys good friends now. We ended up forming our band, New Sincerity, and went right away to practicing covers (mainly pop punk/pop rock).

Despite busy adult lives we have managed to consistently meet up and have about ~11 or so songs under our belt, with 2 being originals and some more originals already in the process of being made.

I am posting this because a few people were rooting for us in the comments of the original post and I am really happy to have this band not only made but kept for so long.

We will be performing in Loomis at High Hand Brewery on December 2nd from 6-9 PM. (two 5 song sets with a break in between).

https://maps.app.goo.gl/EGAiBnHuEgVgZ94X8?g_st=ic

We have even gone as far as to record at a studio with the help of some audio engineering major college students, so a demo for our originals is not too far off from release.

The future looks really bright for this band as long as we continue to be motivated and improve our skills.

Thank you for reading.

Edit: We also just made our first post on Instagram, feel free to drop a follow! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfBOo8mpJT6/?mdxt=MWNpZXV6bmtzbnlveg%3D%3D

Thank you so much for all the support in the comments!!

Local thrift store treasure

Found this shirt thrifting at Snowline Hospice in Placerville. Pretty sure this is Saint Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, and Tucker Carlson praying over sometime (?) Sacramento resident Gavin Newsom.

Yes, the shirt is still there! Go get it, and wear it somewhere weird!

Kru Makes Me Feel Unapologetically Bougie

Picture 1: Sake Nigiri & King Salmon Nigiri

Picture 2: Uni Nigiri

Picture 3: Butane-torched wagyu pieces

Picture 4: Wagyu Nigiri (left with caviar & truffle)

I admit that I don’t go to Kru to fill up on a meal; I just like to experience the flavors. To be frank, few bites is all I can afford; granted, I order the more pricey bites. This time, I thought I’d be cheeky and have the standard salmon next to the King Salmon. the King was double the price of standard, so it only makes sense to compare the flavor of the two. I was shocked at how clear the difference was!

Beyond the fun of tasting new things, I always love when the dinner comes with a “show”. The sushi bar is the place to sit, if you want to see the chefs light things up!

I would like to throw a concert for the benefit of Gaza. Would anybody be willing to help me organize?

63 Upvotes

I’m a manager at my job who has overseen large projects. I’m capable of organizing, and planning and executing. I’m just not confident I could do this fully by myself.

I’m just in the planning stages. I literally have nothing, so, feel free to make fun of me, if you want, but, I’ve wanted to try and organize this for a long time.

I need

- A venue that is sympathetic to this cause, if anybody knows of one; I’m, of course, willing to pay for the venue.

- Local Artists that would like to perform for charity

Aside from those two things. I’m confident I could handle the rest, promoting, tickets, etc.

Would anybody be willing to try and make something out nothing with me?

Thanks, in advance, and, I hope you have a wonderful day,

Edit:

I’m mainly looking at PCRF and the Palestinian Red Crescent (Red Cross).

Please help me rehome my cat.

Post image
51 Upvotes

Hello, I found this cat outside my brothers house a couple years ago and my wife never wanted to keep him as we already have a pretty full home and we now have had our first daughter. The cat is very sweet and gets along with other cats and dogs. He is also fixed and has his shots. I will say I haven’t been able to take him to the vet since I got him fixed however he has no health issues with any symptoms I can observe. I love him very much and really don’t want to take him to front street shelter but I’m working 70 hour weeks to support my wife/daughter right now and can’t even spend time with him and often end up asking my wife who doesn’t want him to take care of him. We also can barely afford life as is. (He always has food, litter, bedding, etc but we are trying to get stable after just having our first baby.)
My wife’s not a villain, she’s done her fair share of care for stray animals. Another reason we shouldn’t have him right now is our current lease which goes up til April doesn’t allow for him. We’re stuck hiding him every time management comes by. unfortunately I can’t give this cat a home anymore and especially not the home he deserves.
I definitely suck for putting this sweet cat in this position but I’m praying that someone can help.

commuter bus lines - what’s the deal?

27 Upvotes

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or not so hopefully someone can help! I like many other state workers are trying to figure out how to get to work without paying for parking or Lyft.

I live on the grid, however I’m still about a 35 minute walk to the office. I definitely do walk some days, but carrying my laptop and living in a “transit friendly” city I would prefer to use transit on the days I can’t walk.

I’ve tried to take the commuter bus from the H st stop twice now & the bus just drives right by me. This most recent time, I waved at the bus & the driver waved back and still did not stop! It’s incredibly frustrating because it causes me to be late to work & spend the money on a Lyft.

I’ll probably just go back to taking the light rail, the bus stop was just closer to where I live.

Anyways tips are welcome and appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks all! I should have known not to trust Apple Maps. Appreciate the tips!

Did you lose your red-eared slider (not a 100% confident ID) in Oak Park? I found it in the street today and have surrender it to The Serpentarium in Elk Grove. Your little dude narrowly missed a few cars (mine included) but is fortunately safe and sound.

Edit: little dude has been identified as a box turtle by someone with more knowledge than me. My bad!

Anyone else grow up by the American River in the 90s? Some weird stuff happened down there

• Upvotes

Grew up in some apartments near the river and my brother and I basically lived down there as kids. Looking back, some of the stuff we ran into was wild.

When we were like 5 and 6 we found an escaped convict hiding in the bushes. I think he ran off from a work project crew or something. Two little kids just standing there staring at this guy. I remember the cops getting there a few moments later and saying we were “lucky” to our parents.

A few years later there were wanted flyers up all over the neighborhood for this scary looking guy who was living out by the river. Then one day we came out to play at our complex and there he was, digging through the apartment dumpster. He pulled a knife on us but we just ran away before he could jump out.

I also remember seeing someone climb to the very top of one of those electrical towers and jumping.

The river was our playground, but it definitely had a dark side. Anyone else have stories from growing up down there? Feels like everybody who lived near it has at least one.

Need Help Rescuing Injured Pigeon!!

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

There’s this very cute pigeon at the Watt I80 LRT that appears to either have a foot that is crushed or wrapped in some sort of thread. I’ve seen it here for almost a month now, and am worried for its quality of life bc it looks scruffy, and limps when it walks. I called both of the wildlife rescues near Sac, and neither of them can come out and rescue it. They have a policy that essentially requires the animal to be restrained and brought to the facility. I also don’t know if this is something “serious enough” to warrant rescue, or if it’ll be okay in the wild even w the injury.

I believe that I could potentially catch it, but it can still fly, so it would be tough. I also do not have a car to bring it all the way to the McClellan wildlife rescue. If anyone who knows about birds, and/or would be willing to help me rescue this sweet baby, please reach out!

Hello again :) I made a post on here before about my issues with my landlord. I have updates to the situation. I moved out on the 1st of October so it’s been well over 21 days and I still haven’t received my deposit disposition. We did get online documentation about how much we would be getting back but it’s not a check and we haven’t gotten a direct deposit. I was told they would mail it and it hasn’t come. What can I do? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

I’m having a hard time hiring a welder

11 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

I’ve reached out to a bunch of shops and independent welders and gotten rejected every time because the work isn’t big enough for them to consider worth the time/money. I’m in the El Dorado Hills area, so it makes sense, but it’s a little frustrating.

I have a moped that I bought an exhaust for, and the exhaust needs the flange cut off and welded back on at a different angle so it mounts up to the cylinder head.

The exhaust is already off of the moped. It may require an inch or two of extra piping if the angle isn’t do-able.

Is there anybody out there who is good at welding and is willing to help me out (not for free, I will pay you!) Either I can take the exhaust to you or you can come to me, whatever works I just want to ride my bike without the whole city hearing it.

Thanks y’all.
