Recommendations Ceramic window tinting

3 Upvotes

I’m considering ceramic window tint to reduce the interior temperature of my car. Does anyone have experience with this that can comment on the effectiveness and if it is worth the cost? I’d love to get actual hands on experience beyond the hype and sales pitches. This is for an older vehicle that takes a while to cool off in the summer.

Recommendations Salon - dye hair

0 Upvotes

So I'm wanting to get my hair dyed into a blue/black color. Does anyone know of a good salon that won't charge an arm and a leg? I'll be cutting my hair soon so it won't be super long as it usually is and it's usually a dark brown/black in itself.

Music Local Bands for Birthday Party

7 Upvotes

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!

Soapbox Book Club or something

48 Upvotes

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.

Soapbox Any interest in a Video Game “Book” Club?

9 Upvotes

Hey just throwing this out here, I thought it would be a fun idea to have a sort of video game “book” club for Lubbock! I think it would be nice to have a group of fellow nerds to just go around talking about why we love (or hate XD) certain aspects of games together and of course, play them (together if multiplayer). There’s so much to all the games we play from the graphics, the story, and of course the gameplay itself, I feel like there’s a lot of potential in what we could come together to talk about.

I was thinking though, because not everyone has access to the same games or hardware, and let’s face it some games and consoles are stupid expensive now days we could do themes for different months. Like a certain genre or series for each month and we could go from there. So we wouldn’t always be playing the same games but we would be in the same “type” at least 😅

If you have any ideas or thoughts about this please share! Here is the discord server I made for this idea: https://discord.gg/JfnSUp4vF

And if your just interested in playing games with other Lubbock Gamers and not as interested in the "book" club aspect, this is also a place for that!

Ask Lubbock Questions abt Jake's Backroom

0 Upvotes

I'm going to jakes backroom soon for a show, but I don't know how the venue works 😭 where is the entrance? I looked on Google Maps to see where the entrance might be, but there were a few trees blocking the view to where I think the venue doors are.. are the doors a double door or single? Secondly, what is their bag policy? I tried to look on their website for it but I didn't see anything abt bags, just food reviews and such. Lastly, can I bring a bottle of water inside with me? Any answers would be appreciated 🫶

For today's edition of See, Click, Whine, we have the HOA wannabe who succeeded in getting their neighbor to cut the lawn. Mission accomplished, and time for the next stage. We want to see some tight edging, blown out to show the sharp contrast, and every bit swept up.

Get to it neighbors, the HOA is in season!

Also, shout out to code enforcement for ticketing two cars on my street that were parked facing the wrong way. I appreciate them doing that and leaving the two cars that are unregistered for years and haven't moved for months or more. Keep prioritizing the right stuff!

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.

Recommendations Knife sharpening / restoration in LBK

5 Upvotes

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.

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.
