I will say, I went to Evil Dead Live In Concert on Thurs. You pretty much had to have a phone to buy tickets and present them, which altogether seems more inconvenient than just having a cardstock rectangle to me

There are shows we miss out on entirely because we don't use shitphones. There's one promoter that does it all through an app but ALSO provides just a list of names to the venue. It's ALWAYS faster when I give my name and get checked off on the list than when someone has to fumble for phone and app and then those have to be scanned by ANOTHER phone.

Hi Mark! I recently saw some defacing of the "Friend" ads on the subway that used the "Don't be a phoney, be a Luddite" phrase, which I recognized from the Luddite club. But it also had the gnome drawing that I didn't recognize but now I see on this flyer here, as well as a lot of lamp drawings that I guess is related to this "Lamp Club"?

Hi wimpy. Actually I am interested... I'm still trying to reconcile that at one stage in my life I was able to move to another country where I couldn't speak the language with a dumb flipphone, now I get anxious if I go to the bathroom without my Android thing because I'll get bored...

I totally get it! it took me about 6 months to get everything sorted out and weaned off of my phone enough to make the switch. I've actually gotten worse in the past few months because I kind of swapped my phone for my partner's laptop but I still have less wasted evenings overall. also - my bathroom breaks are on average like 3-4 minutes shorter without my phone lol

Yay, the young people. So glad to hear them see through the muck. I saw 2 of them at union sq park, sat afternoon. They had handouts and so I mentioned Techtonic, and mark. Man said yes, I know him (I wrote his name down, and his female partner). I put myself on their email
