Random Green Day Thoughts

So every time the custodial crew where I work cleans my office, they knock down the Green Day posters, especially the big one. They are held up by masking tape so as to not damage the walls, but they are stuck on pretty well and they don't fall down except on days when the cleaning crew comes (twice a week). I am not sure if I should say anything or not. I mean, I know the cleaning crew is working super hard and their work is needed now more than ever, but I am worried about the posters getting damaged; the big one is already getting more crinkled. I am starting to think about just not putting out the doorknob hanger requesting cleaning on the cleaning days. (The cleaning crew only cleans private offices if requested because some people are still working from home because of covid, but since I am here every day I do want it to be kept clean.) 

Ugh, this reminds me of the time our cleaning staff threw out my Starbucks reusable cup that I had put GD stickers all over.  It was like two years ago and I'm still annoyed by it. :lol:  I've since replaced it with two more that I have DO NOT THROW OUT post it notes on top of.

This reminds me of when my friends and I went to Portillos and we stayed pretty late. We were finishing our food and the cleaning guy comes by. He starts grabbing our trash but he unknowingly threw out my friends milkshake that he was still drinking. He made it pretty obvious that he wasn't done and the dude threw it out anyway. And it's something we still poke fun at him about :lol: He was quietly angry about it the rest of the night.

I recommend command poster strips. I've had nothing but bad experiences with that poster tack. Not only did it leave residue on the walls, my posters kept falling. As much as I like Kurt Cobain it's freaky as hell waking up with him on your face 😂

NGL I would be very happy if I woke up with Billie on my face. 🤣But alas these posters are in my office and not my bedroom, so this won't be a problem. And I will consider what you said about the poster strips!

Buy poster frames and use the command velcro strips. It's how I have photos hanging in my office because I can't put holes in the walls either.

Those command velcro strips are a godsend. I use them all the time because I live in an apartment.

We used them in a photo installation for a skybox (football stadium suite) a few weeks ago. So far it’s worked amazing. The guy helping us hang everything didn’t believe they’d hold, but HA! Proved him wrong 😬

Command strips are where it's at. That's what I have for all of my posters now that I've become civilized enough to move beyond thumbtacks in the wall.

Was looking through the Ticketmaster reviews for GD last night. It was pleasing to see that most were "5 out of 5", "GD were awesome" (and so they should be), but a few reviews really annoyed me. "2/5 for GD... poor service at the bar", "2/5.. couldn't park near the venue", "1/5.. didn't have my shirt size on the merch stand". The review that Ticketmaster asks you for is supposed to be specifically about the bands performance, why give the band a 2/5 for parking or bar service which have nothing to do with them?

It’s like when someone rights a review about something they just bought and basically says absolutely nothing, why do people do that?! 😂

Or when someone gives a hotel a bad review because of the weather or a delayed flight. 

Maybe I'll look to see what people have to say about Fob & Weezers gigs.

@The Grohl Do we have to add valet to Kevin's growing list of jobs?

Kevin is very versatile, but it doesn't seem like he's very good as valet boy.

What would make him a bad valet LOL? Does he have like a terrible driving record or something?

Based on the previous parking review, it seems like Kevin wasn't doing his valet job :lol:

Oh, I thought we were talking about another valet not doing their job and thus we should replace them with Kevin. 🤣

Earlier today I heard JAR on Sirius radio! I was shocked that out of all songs that one was playing. Then later MTV classic played the Longview video. What a good Green Day...day 🤗

I really wish Green Day would play 16 live. That would be so cool to hear! I think it's one of the best songs off 39/Smooth.

Took a look at my profile and everywhere I typed "Green Day" it said "The Longshot" instead.    

Hmm.

Been finding a lot of Green Day fans on youtube lately.   Currently watching a Katie McPansy Grogan vinyl collection video and I do believe she said she won something from GDA!  

Seeing lots of rare Green Day vinyl that I've never seen before, which is awesome.    I'm thinking about getting into vinyl again.

She won tickets and a VIP treatment to the opening of American Idiot on Broadway.  Plus she got to go to the last show and the after party.  She used to be a member here on GDC too.
