I listened to ‘Dear Boy’ the other day for the first time in a while, and in paying attention to the lyrics fell down a rabbit hole of sorts-

after scouring the internet to no avail, I cannot for the life of me figure out (or recall, if I ever actually knew) what a “sal” is, ice cold or otherwise… have I missed this being explained at any point over the years?

[I also couldn’t find evidence of anyone else ever being curious about this, so perhaps it’s something embarrassingly obvious- in which case, feel free to let me know!]

from this video right in the outro section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPbqa8ky9xU . I'm not a native English speaker so a bit hard, i can only catch some words

A)
What's the point in goin' round,
When it's a straight line, baby, a straight, straight line

and B)
What's the point in goin' round,
When it's a straight line, baby, a straight line down

Which is your fav, and what do you think Nate was talking about?

I have a theory but it's dark and a bit of a reach. I'd rather hear what y'all think.

Hello, I’ve just tried to order vinyls and the only shipping method offered was the express one with costs more than 100$. Is there by a chance, anybody ideally from Czech Republic or perhaps Germany or Slovakia who would like to buy something as well and would be willing to merge our orders so we wouldn’t have to pay the crazy amount of money for shipping?

i’m glad there’s a subreddit for the best freakin band ever!! when I first heard “We Are Young” on the radio my jaw DROPPED and I was stoked The Format came out with a new song? and it was so popular? was still stoked Nate Ruess was finally getting the popularity he always deserved. let me see your best The Format merch!! and anyone with the Dog Problems sweatpants, I am seriously jealous as hell.

Got a notification saying dog problems was restocked and so is everything else! Also GRAND ROMANTIC IS FOR SALE!!!

Wtf!!

Idk if I’m misremembering but I thought they were targeting an early 2022 release. There’s been pretty much no updates about it

We were talking about how much it had to have hurt to sell that land for so little, and to lose all that money.

He corrected me and said ya know, the way I see it is, that's the price that I paid to do all of that dreaming. All of the thinking and planning, looking at house plans, learning about architecture, dreaming of weekends in the smokies.

That wasn't money I lost, because I still got to dream, and after all, a life without dreaming isn't a life worth living.

With that said, dreaming of seeing this show, all the people that I've connected with on here, taking a deep dive into similar bands, all of that was a huge pleasure.

I rediscovered Limbeck and became ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with Hi, Everything's Great. It's just unbelievable.

I fell back in love with old Format songs and found new ways to work them into my life.

Just because this show didn't happen doesn't mean that I got no joy out of this process.

So with that I say, thank you everyone!

Hey folks, here's the latest per my interaction with EventBrite this morning.

I submitted the form to "contact organizer" or whatever it was called (twice), but didn't hear back (to be fair it's only been a couple business days). I emailed both aliases listed in the other post about refunds as well, but that was just a few hours ago. I also reached out to Eventbrite & Eventbrite Help on Twitter, they asked for my order info and said they'd get back to me in 1-2 days and to follow up with them if I don't hear back. They also sent me a refund request form to submit, which you can find here: www.eventbrite.ie/attendee-refund-request/

Hoping this is all I need to do, I'm already pissed enough about the cancellation and getting the runaround for a refund is definitely not something I'm looking to deal with. I'll update this post if anything further comes of it in the next week or so.

Like the title says, I’ve got two tickets for Friday and I can only make it to the Saturday/Sunday shows, so would anyone be willing to trade one of their tickets for two of mine?

Not sure if I should book a flight/hotel now

🙃
