Quincy

Just woke up and the first thing I had to do was watch, so here are my initial thoughts:
 
When the set started, I was genuinely kind of shocked. Three songs in a row that she hasn’t played since pre-Covid times?? She definitely seemed kind of nervous and timid at first, but she warmed up after a few tracks. 
 
Then it segued into her usual set list. The notable exception was Candy Necklaces. A total highlight for me. We finally got it and Jon ate.
 
I agree that she definitely felt subdued through the set. I’m not sure if it was necessarily the time of day, but it could have been a factor. I think she was laser focused and knew how big this was, especially for the fans. I’ve noticed that when she gets really focused, she tends to slow down a bit. 
 
I’m not the biggest Billie fan, but the part with her was nice. I have mixed feelings on Jack too, but there was something charming about seeing him on piano. 
 
Overall, it was nice, quaint and elegant, but I wasn’t totally blown or way or shocked by it. I’m pleasantly surprised she didn’t go full country. No offense. I had a quasi-nightmare the other day that she only played country songs. While I don’t mind some of those tracks, it wouldn’t have fit with Coachella vibes.
 
So, I’m not disappointed with the performance. I guess I have a neutral response. It was nice to hear a few different tracks and get some guest appearances. Candy Necklaces topped it off for me. 
 
By the way, is it just me, or was there a noodling around between songs that sounded like Summer Bummer at one point? I’m not the biggest fan of that song, but I actually wouldn’t have minded it for something different.

Her hair looks completely different? It just looks like chunky highlights now

Still processing yesterday. May post a few more pics while it’s still in recent memory 

A few photos I took from Lake Ouachita, AR

Standing in Lake Ouachita, good old Ar-Kansas, watching the eclipse right now. It’s better than I ever even knew 

Not in the path of totality this time around (I was in 2017) but I could see about 80% from where I’m at. Don’t have eclipse glasses so my kids and I took turns taking a peek with my red light therapy glasses (way darker than regular sunglasses.) Definitely a cool moment, glad I got home from work before it peaked!

the way its fully cloudy today at least i lived in the best spot to see the 2017 eclipse

Forgive me if there was a discussion somewhere on this…
 
A total solar eclipse will be visible across a swath of North America this Monday, April 8th.
 
Who’s excited? Anyone live in the path of totality or plan to travel to it?
 
From NASA:
“The Monday, April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The total solar eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean. Weather permitting, the first location in continental North America that will experience totality is Mexico’s Pacific coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT.

The path of the eclipse continues from Mexico, entering the United States in Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse. The eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario, and continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton. The eclipse will exit continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at 5:16 p.m. NDT.”
 
I live in Oklahoma and plan to drive 4-5 hours to get into the path of totality. Paris, TX is in the path… but I’m leaning toward Arkansas. It depends on the cloud cover and forecast as of Monday morning. 
 
I drove to Nebraska to see the 2017 eclipse and it was a surreal experience. The next eclipse to cross over the U.S. won’t be until 2045. 
 
Make sure you are safe while viewing the eclipse, with proper glasses and protection for your camera/phone if you plan to photograph it. 

Holy shit I just woke up and I read the topic title wrong thinking it was Total Solar Power and I thought an ultra-deluxe flopper version of Lorde last album was going to happen 

Those damn thumbnails with exaggerated facial expressions are cringe af. Apparently they’re “good” for the algorithm, but it makes me just ignore them.
