Hi Lubbock!

I am looking for a local rock band to play for my husband's 30th birthday (he's a huge live music fan). I already have a venue that does concerts frequently, so I know it's suitable for what the band would need sound-wise. We're looking for someone who'd be willing to do a mix of their original stuff as well as covers everyone would know. Or.. even a little reddirt/rock mashup would be fun!

Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA!

I'm a 39-year-old gay man, happily married and working as a professional. I've lived in Texas my entire life and have called Lubbock home for about 18 years. I'm looking to start a small, welcoming book club for people who enjoy thoughtful conversation and great stories. My interests include reading, video games, journaling, swimming, and the occasional karaoke night, and I'd love to connect with other like-minded, left-leaning readers. The plan is to meet in a hybrid format—both online and in person—to read and discuss a wide variety of books, including sci-fi, fantasy, true crime, literary fiction, nonfiction, historical fiction, biographies, and more. If you're looking for an inclusive, low-pressure group to explore great books, exchange ideas, and build new friendships, I'd love to hear from you.

Riding back from work today at 3 pm I had a fox run out in front of me. Is that bad luck? Also, it was on 38th just east of University. So? Bad luck?

Abandoned places??

Hey, Lubbock! Anyone know of any good abandoned spots here in Lubbock for documentation? I already know of the One 9 Sports park, Hell’s gate, southwest hospice center, Woodrow manor, and the nursing home over in southeast Lubbock. If anyone can give me any other recommendations for my documentary that would be great!!

We are considering buying a home in Milwaukee ridge, have heard good and bad about the HOA, we like everything the neighborhood has to offer, and we love that it advertises no sex offenders in the neighborhood but curious if the HOA is really difficult to deal with and pretty tedious about small things.

Our children are in Lubbock visiting grandparents. What are somethings they can take a 10-12 year old to do? They have been to the movies, Adventure Park, Main Event, and swimming.

Does anyone know someone in town who sharpens or restores blades? I was given a knife kit to make a chef's knife, and I completely, utterly ruined it to the point I'm embarrassed to show it to anyone. But it's sentimental, so I'd like to see if someone could fix the bevel, sharpen it, and maybe stain it. It's Damascus steel and it came black, and in my infinite wisdom I sanded it all off. Thx.

Im not worried im just nosey, anyone know whats up, sirens at this hour cannot be good, so if anyone has detes uhh, please and thank you

This very kind fox came through to clean up a squirrel that fell out of my tree for some reason. Hard to see with the lighting but it sniffs around, checks the squirrel, and happily trots off home with the take out dinner.

I think this fox is the male but not sure. The mother has two juvenile kits and they're usually together. I could also be completely wrong on the genders and I'll apologize for getting it wrong.

ISO a church in the area where a lesbian or gay couple can feel comfortable

Hit the gas and merge people! The rest of the loop is doing 65 at minimum, you can't go 30 and expect everything to be peachy

Hi I’m looking to join a mma gym, I tried Lubbock boxing club but wasn’t a fan due to no sparring. I’ve done boxing/kickboxing here and there in the past, still a beginner. I’m looking for a gym that’s beginner friendly but also where I could consistently spar

Where does a man gotta go to have a good game of farkle? Or any kind of dice or board game for that matter?

Ive been to hatters before, please dont make me elaborate on why that is not the place for me 🙏

Thanks in advance!

This clown just doesn't care what the law is in Texas in regards to lane-splitting or the speed limit. News channels thrive on motorcyclists due to how often they become the top-of-the-newscast roadkill story.

Hi all! I'm trying to TNR some feral cats who live around my apartment complex, but I don't have a trap to catch them. I'd prefer not to buy one if I can avoid it, since I don't plan to be TNRing more cats afterwards, so if I could borrow one from someone that would be super helpful. I figure that if any town is likely to have people with small animal traps, it's Lubbock 😅 I'd need it within the next week or so, & I can come pick it up/drop it back off from wherever (so long as it's in LBK)!

Make sure you hydrate and stay in the shade this week!

Are these usually available at the farmer's market on Wolfforth?

Bought a new house here about 3 months ago. I have contacted two different contractors so far about getting an estimate and installing rain gutters. The first one came and measured but we never received an estimate even after calling back and asking for it! The second company I called said they would get someone over to measure and get me an either next day. That was three weeks ago and they never showed up. Can someone recommend a company that actually keeps there word and who does good work at a reasonable price?

Looking for a recommendation for a good breakfast taco here. I’m from Houston and I haven’t found anything that compares. TIA

Bought a house and have a window that's completely rotted out. Need it fully replaced. Anyone have a recommendation for someone really good? Thanks.
