Anyone in here still?

#

Hoping to bump my measly little level up, but I don't want to spam chats that are having real discussions

#

Shooting my shot for one of the London shows, flying from Canada for the 26th and 27th

#

So I'm putting my time in to try and get one of the last-minute ticket drops before the show

#

But I gotta be big bossin' at level 8 for that

#

So here I am, beginning my own personal novel here

#

In the hopes of seeing our lord and savior with a home court advantage

#

If anyone finds this and has reccos for other things to do/ see in London, I'm all ears

#

Fingers crossed the weather cooperates, but I'm well equipped for rain if not 😂

#

Also very keen to hear any restaurant reccos

#

Going to check in at the Danbo Ramen over there, keen to see if it holds up against the ones here in Van

#

But I am also planing to eat as many scotch eggs as humanly possible

#

When in rome, yaknow

#

ALSO I love a good little cozy café, holla at ya boi if theres is a must-stop spot for delicious pastries and good coffee

#

Hoping to check out a couple bike shops too - stop in at the ol' rapha clubhouse and whatnot

#

Natural history museum is also on the list - gotta look into some art galleries too

#

What to talk about what to talk about

#

Leveling up

#

Increasing status

#

Chase & Status

#

That would be a wild crossover

#

Thinking about heading up to Milton Keynes to check out some F1 stuff - any auto museums in London a guy should see?

#

Many questions here

#

Largely answerable via my old pal Google

#

Rest assured

#

I will indeed Google them

#

But I do love to hear from the troops on the ground

#

Strange to just be putting my stream of consciousness into text

#

Gotta put the work in though

#

They're not just giving away level 8

#

Unless

#

Nah

#

Unlesssss

#

Nah it's okay we'll get there

#

I do take pitty on anyone who stumbles across this though

#

"What a mad cunt" they'd say to themselves

#

And they'd be right

#

Curious if there will be merch at the shows

#

I snagged a hoodie in Vancouver, but was given too small of a size 😭

#

Asked for XXL and got LARGE

#

Having just gotten a ticket, two hours after doors, I was too stoked to double check

#

God bless the box office tho

#

Kinda the basis of this hail-mary

#

Hoping to go 2-for-2 on box office homies

#

New-to-me-homies

#

What is a stranger but a homie you haven't met yet

#

Thinking about booking a little tattoo session while I'm over there too

#

Never flown with a freshie though, and I don't know how I feel about it

#

9 hours or whatever of just sittin

#

Probably fine honestly

#

I guess I'd just be sitting at home

#

So what's it matter

#

With just me in here, this is honestly kind of a hilarious way to find out how many messages it takes to get to level 8

#

I fired off a few messages around the Van show, but nothing like this

#

Thank god

#

Imagine pumping out numbers like this on the regular

#

Dawg I have a full time job

#

I can't be up in the discord

#

Not like this at least

#

YOOOOO

#

We are level 3 gang

#

On our way up

#

Nothing can stop me

#

They ask me what my level is

#

So I point to commands

#

And say all the way up

#

This is going to take a bucklingly long time though

#

And afterwards there will just be an insane rambling on here

#

Ingrained in the discord sands

#

Ever shifting

#

Likely lost amidst BPMs

#

Speaking of which - I decided to pick up a Maschine around Christmas

#

Holy moly - SO GOOD

#

I just got the Mikro, but it's such a fun instrument

#

Building out little tunes by hand is so fun

#

Chopping up smaples to layer in is even more fun

#

It also makes me SO appreciative of Fred's talent

#

Preaching to the choir here obvs

#

But slaaaaaaay

#

So insane to even try and follow along

#

Loved watching the various interviews that have come out recently

#

Recently being a relative term

#

Speaking of love it - Borris' instalation is SO SICK

#

Of my goodness what a euphoric experience

#

Insane to be in the crowd and have the sound washing over you

#

All underneath the fabric

urban frost
#

What's up gang

#

We are back

#

Back on that level griiiiiind

#

Today's topic - lord of the rings

#

Blasting through the trilogy

#

Along with the Hobbit movies

#

Hobbit ain't bad

#

LotR is the goat though

#

Not exactly a hot take

#

So many little details sprinkled throughout

#

You can just tell that it was made by passionate people

#

Every time I watch 'em I want to re-read the books

#

But I digress

#

We are gathered here today

#

To join in Holy matrimony

#

Me and my level 8 status

#

To have and to hold

#

Throughout sick nights with healthy friends

#

Till the mods up the minimums

#

Amen

#

I'll tell ya

#

Ski season has been a bit buckling

#

Nice to have plenty of time on the bike

#

But it does leave something to be desired for sliding

#

It's made for some good flyfishing and birdwatching too though

#

Having not been a bird guy historically, it's been fun to learn more about the lil guys

#

I would highly reccomend watching this absolute masterpiece

#

For any and all

#

'If you've ever looked at a bird and gone - huh, neat - congratulations, you like birdwatching'

#

Considering bringing my little monocular to the UK

#

But also don't know how much birdin' there is to have in the city

#

Seems like I might be spotting a number of pigeons and the like

#

Which are hilarious, objectively

#

But a little less enthralling than looking at eagles and hawks on the coast

#

Maaaaaan this is going to be a grind

#

Still only just level 3

#

Y'all got me griiiinding out here

#

Thankfully

#

I managed to get my paws on the piano vinyls

#

I'm talking

#

Alllll threeeeee baybeeeee

#

Shoutout to BeatStreet records in gastown

#

And their weekly emails

#

Also shoutout to fred

#

Actual life 3 piano is otherworldly

#

So so so stoked to have it in the house

#

Was thinking about making a little fixture for the set

#

Have 'em on display

#

While we're talking records

#

Lights burn dimmer

#

LIGHTS BURN DIMMER

#

What a slappin tune

#

I was really holding out on it being the last song of the tour

#

Though I did see mr.again.. mentioned that there was still oneee moreee songggg

#

A boy can hope

#

A boy can dream

#

Speaking of dreams

#

I dream of being level 8

#

Making it into one of the shows last minute

#

And getting to bounce up on stage with the man himself

#

Would make for a pretty wild solo trip

#

Stoked to be in London either way or course

#

But the show would be the crown jewel

#

I guess I should also make time to check out the other crown jewels too

#

Ohhhhhhh sweet solitude

#

Sweet solitude of the Osaka show chat

#

Osaka would be a super cool spot to visit too

#

Definitely on the list

#

Seems like a lot of BC/ lower mainland folks out there rn

#

I'd be hard pressed to choose between skiing a ton and general exploring

#

Ugh and the foooood

#

Beep

#

Boppity

#

Booooo

#

Level

#

Eight

#

For

#

Youuuuy

#

You get 8

#

You get 8

#

Everyone look under your seats

#

Boom

#

Level 8

#

You get to drive home

#

In a brand new level 8

#

Oh man Borimir is lighting Frodo UP

#

Spoiler alert

#

He too gets lit up

#

In a blaze of glory

#

Sweet cathartic glory

#

New Zealand

#

Another spot on the bucket list

#

So many incredible spots to visit

#

Honestly I would BLOW money on LotR style tours

#

Take me to the skylines

#

Take me to the peaks

#

The rivers

#

The valleys

#

I want to see it

#

Bing

#

Bop

#

Diddly

#

Do

#

What

#

Would

#

I

#

Dooooooo

#

For level 8

#

Evidently

#

Send 1000 messages to the void

#

1000 messages on the wall

#

1000 messages deep

#

Type one down, stack it on down

#

1001 messages on the wall

#

Hopefully

#

Again, a boy can dream

#

Ally Pally here I come

urban frost
#

#

Doing our best to level tf up

humble kite
#

I respect your grind in here man 🫡

#

Sincerely,
a fellow Canadian trying to go to a london show

urban frost
#

Hahahaha bless you

#

Gotta shoot your shot, yaknow

humble kite

Hell yeah dude 💯

urban frost
#

Superbowl Sunday, and I am off to see if I can find a superb owl

urban frost
#

Okay

#

We are only a few messages away from lvl 4

#

So here we go

#

Quick speed round

#

In the dead of night

#

Under cover of darkness

#

Mang

#

I would love to lock down a ticket

#

It would save me a considerable amount of time

#

And effort

#

And maybe mean that my trip is not in vain

#

But I guess we'll know

#

When I go

#

Can't know

#

Till ya go

#

Ya know

#

In the meantime

#

I'll be here

#

Grinding

#

Hustlin

#

Putting the hours in

#

I mean

#

Literally hours at this point

#

I don't know how y'all do it

#

Cause like

#

This is an unholy amount of messages

#

Maybe it scales as you go

#

Maybe not

#

But I am just not built to be this talkative

#

Hence my lovely little solitude here

#

Where I may yap freely

#

But like I cannot imagine sending this many messages to people

#

Oh I don't know what I been told

#

I can't even think of a rhyme here

#

Truly dark times

#

/ a sign that I should probably call it a night

#

Just going

#

To blast off

#

A few additional

#

Bonus

#

Messages where I may be so lucky

urban frost
#

Okay so we are back

#

APPARENTLY

#

Level 6 is the new level 8

#

Which is honestly insanely cool

#

But still means I have got to put some TIME in

#

Clockin those dollas

#

Stackin up rhymes

#

And burning timeeeee

urban frost
#

A nice intermission here, cool shot from when I was fly-fishing the other week

#

So sick to hear the plane from around the bend and see it so low

#

I am finally in the ticket selling page, which is insanely cool

#

Feels like I might be able to make something happen there

#

Though most folks are looking to swap

#

Who knows tho

#

Gotta have a dream

urban frost
#

Been watching all the interviews with fred

#

Which I feel like I mentioned above

#

But I just love the care and dedication he puts in
