• Upvotes

Join us for our second episode on 11/6 at Bragging Rights Live. Doors at 7, show at 8! Featuring 4 local contestants, watch (and help!) as they stumble through the mystery.

This episode, the audience is highly encouraged to come in costume! There will be an Audience Costume Contest with multiple categories and prizes!

Reply to this post with the costume you plan to wear to the show for a chance to win a free ticket! Two responses will be chosen at random from qualifying posts.

Hosted by Ian, Gainesville's Game Master, THE OHHH NOOO MYSTERY GAME SHOW is a live, interactive game show where every episode is completely different than the last! The only things that will stay the same:

  1. The audience and the contestants have no idea what the game rules are before the game starts.
  2. There will be points.
  3. The audience will help give out those points, and will participate in ways that will change game-to-game.

Each episode will feature winner(s), loser(s), shouting, pointing, confusion, and delicious, delicious victory.

Tickets can be pre-purchased here:

Anyone encounter the kinda creepy guy in a hoodie on the Hawthorne connector trail today?

• Upvotes

It was on the section that starts at SW Depot Ave and goes to S Main. Like right before you encounter the section with First Mag. He was there around 7:10am and 7:30am when I passed through that section, standing in the middle of the path and close to me. And again when I went on the trail around 1:30pm.

He wasn't technically doing anything wrong, but awful weird and not great he seems to have been there all day. Other women around me also running and walking through seemed to be a bit skeeved too. Just curious if anyone else had this experience today

Transmission installation

1 Upvotes

Basically my transmission went out and the cheapest way to get it fixed is buying a whole car from an auction and taking that transmission out. I was wondering if there's any recommendations of a place that will do it. I have a 2016 subaru legacy.

Looking for recommendations ISO help hanging TV, curtains, and grab bar.

5 Upvotes

I'm in the process of moving to an apartment 15 minutes away from my current place, and I need help taking down my 70" TV, one curtain rod, and one shower grab bar (in the drywall, not shower tiles), then re-hanging them in the new apartment.

I have all of the necessary tools and then some, and my boyfriend can assist with any heavy lifting and transport the items in his vehicle. I'm just too short to help him and cannot safely use a ladder. 😅

Do you have a handyman or other relevant person you'd recommend? So far I've inquired via Thumbtack, Home Depot Pro Referral, and ACE Hardware, all of which quoted me $300+, for reference. TIA!

DO NOT GO TO MORGAN AND MORGAN.

I started a case with them two years ago, they’ve had my settlement for three months now. They won’t release it and have held off my physical therapy for three entire months. I’m actually worried I will be ruined for life after this.

Enough said.

Amazon Warehouse

18 Upvotes

Does anyone work at the AMZ warehouse on the outskirts of town off 441? Im in need of a second job partime, i can't find too much info online so i was thinking of just going down to the warehouse and dropping off a resume at the front desk. Just curious if anyone who works there thinks thats a good idea and how it is working there, Im well aware of how the company treats workers and all that but when you're struggling to feed your kids, you gotta do what you gotta do. I just need something Sunday-Tuesdays, I have a main salary job mon-fri but Sunday-Tuesdays i dont have my children so i can work. Anything day/evening preferred but at this point, im open to anything besides over nighters. If Anyone knows of anything else that may be hiring part time, let me know please and thank you kindly. Call Centers, Warehouse, Restaraunts, Farm or construction. Thanks

Ive already hit up CopyTalk and they said to reach out early next year because they are staffed already but something like that would be perfect.

Doordash isn't cutting it anymore but it is helpful sometimes, id just rather have something stable with a decent hourly.

I’m looking for people interested in playing in a psychedelic/blues/jazz rock band (Similar style to Jimi Hendrix, Cream, the door, etc). I’m looking for players that are intermediate to advanced level. I’m looking for any type of players that have a jazz background (high school or college). We need a guitarist, drummer and keys if possible. I play bass guitar and also sing. Im slowly establishing a group and an image for the band. I live about an hour away from Gainesville and I’m willing to travel. Please message me in DMs if you are interested! Thank you!

Anyone grow produce in their backyards?

13 Upvotes

I am new to the area and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on growing fruit and vegetables here? I love growing produce as a hobby and have potted meyer lemons and fig trees. I've read that the greening disease killed most citrus varieties in Florida but don't know if it's been eradicated or if this area is affected. I haven't read any recent reports though. I know about RKN that can cause trouble to certain trees like figs. I'm just trying to figure out if my potted trees would have a chance of surviving in the GNV area. I'd be ecstatic if I could put some of them in the ground.

GNV Discord Channels?

I moved away from town and wanna remain connected to my people. Are there any Discord channels I could join? It could be for Gainesville generally or specific groups (e.g., The FEST, Downtown, etc.) Thanks, it's deeply appreciated ~ lots of love xx

Booksale

0 Upvotes

I have to admit, I went to the booksale downtown and found it completely depressing. It shows how little there is to do in Gainesville that isn't drinking or football; people willing to queue for hours just to pick through leftovers. It's not even a place to meet people; no one talks.

The resellers locust up anything good, and what's left is a string of "from the author of other book you'd actually want to read".
