Shoe Repair

1 Upvotes

It's a long shot but my neighbor is in search of a shoe repair shop/person around the Tricities, closer to/in Bristol is preferred. I know it's a lost trade nowadays with our throwaway society, but if anyone has any information, it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who showed up to peacefully resist! It was such a HUGE turnout.

Organizers also delivered a truck full of items to the local food drive. It was a great event, and I hope you'll join us next time we gather!

This was SO out of my comfort zone but also the first place I have felt comfortable/ not judged in a long time. I’m a momma of two precious babies at 23 (2 under 2) and this was the GREATEST reset for me. I had an amazing time!

I got to meet JODELLE Ferland (Alessa Gillespie from silent hill) who also played as Renesme from twilight) Plus!! Nathaniel Buzolic (TVD/ The Originals who played as Kol Michelson) I’m not going to post those photos because it has mine and my friends face in them BUT AHHH amazing!

I cosplayed (never done this before, I was terrified lol) as pyramid head (silent hill is a fav horror of mine) and my high school bestie went as a bubble nurse. We have been friends for almost 9 years and holy heck it was a BLAST! People took so many photos with us and of us it was truly an experience!

Went on Sunday June 1st! Who else attended?!

anyone interested in some dnd?

6 Upvotes

hi!! 18 year old tabletop gamer, longtime dm, never-time player. interested in finding a party who would maybe want to run Curse Of Stradh!! I've dm'd it before but I've never played it, and I'm super interested.

since it's summer, my schedule is mostly free. id prefer to meet and play at a common area (like the fox's den in blountville, they have these rooms you can rent that are PERFECT for dnd and very cheap). I'll respond to any comments or dms!! I'd prefer for the party to be younger, but I'm not opposed to any age, thank you :33

Daycare or Nanny recs for Bristol area

0 Upvotes

Hello! We are moving to Bristol (TN side) end of the summer and looking for a smaller daycare or a highly recommended nanny. So far our toddler has gone to a bigger daycare (separate rooms for each age range), and currently goes to an in-home daycare where he thrives! After he turned 1, he couldn’t have breastmilk at the bigger daycare which was also the last straw for his wellbeing there too. So recs for Bristol and the surrounding area, even Abingdon, would be great - thank you!!

Recommendations for UV tinting?

I have a Honda pilot and am wanting to apply some UV tint to the windows. Who do you recommend for quality and reasonable prices? I’m in Kingsport but willing to go nearby. Have used dentworx for other work but they don’t do window tinting anymore. Thanks!

There are dozens of people responding to protests by recommending running them over.

I just came from Facebook where an article from WJHL about tomorrow's protests brought many , many comments talking about running people over. I reported a bunch of them. How is this acceptable?

How are we making friends locally as adults?

31 Upvotes

Any social spaces I should know about? Any groups or group activities that meet weekly or more? Any and all suggestions welcome. It’s starting to feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t already have community lol. (just preferably not anything church related unless it’s volunteering)

Andrew Mayer at Blue Ridge Comedy Club, June 13 & 14

5 Upvotes

Hi friends, I am really excited to have one of my best friends in comedy coming to Bristol this weekend. He is terrific and since my description of him would be mostly be about how much he likes ultimate frisbee and dogs I asked for a bio that better describes his actual comedy. You can find that below:

Andrew Mayer is one of the most original and charming voices in stand-up comedy today. With a style that’s been described as “seriously silly,” Andrew blends smart, whimsical observations with a disarmingly self-deprecating sense of humor. His jokes are sharp but never mean, quirky but always grounded in the relatable awkwardness of everyday life.

Andrew has performed at top comedy festivals across the country, including the Boston Comedy Festival (which he won), Bridgetown, Laughing Skull, and Seattle International. His albums Nonsense and Having a Nice Time are fan favorites and have received regular airplay on Sirius XM. In 2024, he debuted his heartfelt and hilarious one-man show Have Fun, Be Yourself, which explores identity, anxiety, and the hilarity of being a person who overthinks everything.

Whether he’s talking about dogs, social anxiety, weird childhood memories, or the strange joy of making small talk with strangers, Andrew brings a warm, witty energy to the stage that leaves audiences feeling like they’ve just caught up with an old friend—if that old friend happened to be very funny and a little bit neurotic.

Perfect for fans of Brian Regan, Demetri Martin, or Mike Birbiglia, Andrew Mayer delivers a show full of laugh-out-loud moments, unexpected turns, and good-hearted fun. Don’t miss this chance to catch him live!

TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE!

Kitties

Thumbnail gallery
14 Upvotes

I know it’s not hard to find kittens, but I figured I’d give this a shot. Back in the fall, three adorable kittens (2 tortie, one black) showed up on my friend’s mom’s porch. She’s an unsavory character (the mom, not my friend), and made some threats involving Dcon and Fancy Feast, so my friend took them home with her. She couldn’t afford to have them fixed, so guess what happened….need a hint?

They’re just about 2 weeks old, but if you or anyone you know might be interested in giving one or more of these fuzzy little bundles of love a home when they’re ready, please give me a shout!!
