What is the opposite of dialing it in?

dialing it in: making small changes to improve precision, making incremental enhancements, etc.
possible antonyms: guesstimating, approximating, painting with a wide brush

PHONING it in: doing the bare minimum, being physically present but little more, putting no effort in, etc.
possible antonyms: going all out, giving it your all, putting your heart & soul into it

opps, you are correct, I meant Phoning it in

sounds like DC has had an enviable run this week: viagra boys --> david byrne --> iggy.  lucky duckies!

Nary a word from anyone that there was also an Elvis Costello show in town last night as well.

I heard the Iggy show sold far less than capacity. Truth?

totally
stage was moved up and still was about 60-50% full

I caught Lene Lovich in Annapolis last night. Even more fun than I expected.  She sounded great, can still hit those high notes, and seemed to be having a great time. Surprise appearance by Thomas Dolby, who introduced her as "my former boss" and sat-in on "New Toy". Great - albeit quick night.

I could get used to shows being over by 9:00 though.

Addison Rae show had a striking Space Thrift Denominator (STD) with about 60 minutes of actual performance and no opener.

I loved Iggy Pop but slightly soured by my “friends” leaving without me. It took me a couple of minutes to get setlist and they left. Didn’t even wait for me outside. One of them once outside subsequently texted me asking for a ride if I was still around.

Is this kind of a shitty thing to do or am I being overly dramatic?

[Julian, Hyperpop SLUTFUCK]

That’s a shitty thing. You are correct to feel the way you do.

[hutch]

Very odd. I texted guy back but I guess he found a ride and didn’t bother respond til next day afternoon.

Thats even worse than the first thing! What if you were waiting around thinking he needed the requested ride!?

Ask yourself:


What would Iggy Pop circa 1973 do in this situation?  Dont do that.

What would Iggy Pop today do in this situation? Do that.

[Yada]

Why I like to be a lone ranger or go with my wife.  I find going to shows with others usually a pain in the ass*

*Venue and seating play part in this

[hutch]

Yeah WTF. Never would have bailed on him if foot was on other shoe. It’s true I met them at show but I did text him set times to help his planning. We met before Iggy went on and hung out.

I don’t know what to say…

Is it obvious cause am not sure what he would do….

I like to think I am reasonable.

I go to a shitload of shows by myself. But this friend I have gone to hundreds of shows over the years.

Guess I will keep it in mind.

If anyone in the Julian Concert Club behaves this way, you’re out of at least the next concert in the series. This is not how I expect my concert bros to be.
