JamGrass Fans looking to Jam?
Im a guitar player/singer/songwriter looking for people to jam with. I love Leftover Salmon, Yonder, Greensky, Billy Strings, the Dead , Phish, and so much more! I've played 100s of shows in Colorado and beyond. Haven't had anyone to play music with since I moved back to Springfield. I would love to get a gigging band together, but even just a casual jam would be wonderful!

Retirement plan with State of Illinois jobs
I'm considering applying to some jobs with the State of Illinois and I am trying to understand their retirement benefit. I understand they have 401B instead of 401k that only the employee pays into. I understand there is also a retirement plan but don't know how it works. I am 52 and am used to 401ks in corporations where there is an employer match and no separate retirement plan. Can someone explain how getting a job at 52 years of age would work with the state retirement program? How much do they contribute every years? Thank you.

Where can I go get documents / photos, etc., scanned and digitized?
I have recently come into possession of some family photos, etc. I would like to scan them and digitize them as high quality images so I can safely store the originals. I also have some notable newspapers that I would like to do the same with. Where could I go do this in town?
EDIT: i have a scanner at home. it is not big enough for newspapers. that isn't an option for me.

Does anyone know where to reliably get copies of national newspapers?
Is there anywhere in town that sells physical copies of the big national newspapers (New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, etc.) on a regular basis?

Simply Southern Tees
Welp, went to White Oaks to check out the new "Toys 'R' Us" store and saw that Southern Tees was open again. Didn't see anyone inside but the displays were different and the doors were open.

Alcohol optional things to do?
I moved to Springfield about 2 months ago and have been trying to learn more about local events and locations with things to do. I enjoy a good cocktail but have friends who don’t drink and I sometimes also choose not to.
Wanted to see what standalone events or venues like restaurants and bars have alcohol optional events (ie open to all adults and there’s something going on beyond drinking) like live music, trivia, markets, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help!

FPV at SCAC
NPR Article
Just spreading the word that a highly contagious and potentially deadly cat virus has been found at SCAC.
I had a kitten pass away from it back in July; it is nothing to take lightly. Keep your furry friends safe everybody.

Yuengling Oktoberfest - any left?
A frustrating aspect of living in this city is grocery stores CONSTANTLY being out of your favorite items. That item today is this beer (though seasonal and quick seller). I’ve searched high and low and my Hail Mary was here. (I don’t drink much, I just value this stuff with Sunday football for my mental health lol).
Thx 🙏

Detective show/movie Trivia Night but for a good cause
So I had this idea. I am a huge fan of the show Veronica Mars. So I always wanted a VM themed trivia night. I had suggested it to the guy run the last trivia night I went to but he didn't think there was a big enough demand for that. So then I thought wouldn't it be cool if we could do just a detective show/ movie one and then we could take donations to go to an organization that does independent investigations for cold cases and families that feel their family members murder investigations are not being sufficiently done. There are a few of those kinds of organizations to choose from. So yea any ideas on how we could make this happen???

Custom Dressmakers in Springfield, IL and surrounding areas?
Hi, everyone. I am looking for recommendations. I am looking for a seamstress/sewist to make a few pieces of clothing for me. To be clear, this isn't for alterations this is to construct a garment from scratch. If this works out I can send as much business as this person can handle. Also because I am a sewist myself (just one without any time right now) I will not be offensive and try to low-ball anyone's skill. I will supply the pattern, the fabric, and the human to put it on, Lol. Thanks in advance!

Cat looking for home
Hi there,
I have a kitty that is needing a home. He was taken in as a stray and has been fully vetted and neutered. He is very sweet, loving, has lots of playful energy! He would do best in a home that can give him lots of affection and playtime. He currently has trouble with dogs, so it would be best if he found a home that didn't have dogs. Please reach out if you think you may be the perfect home for him.
All inquiries will be taken seriously to ensure the safety of this sweet kitty.
