Awesome! I would suggest specifying that it’s at Gather in the flyer

Cue some apologist dumbass saying “if the city would just build a track for these bored kids, they wouldn’t have to ride in the streets”

I’ve had luck with Fb marketplace

If you’re not paying for electric heat or electric hot water, I would see about getting someone to look into whether things are hooked up correctly. It’s not out of the ordinary for tenants to be paying for common areas or other zones outside of their apartment, whether intended (nefarious) or not. Additionally, I had a high bill in my common area for a couple of years. Eventually my front porch light fixture went completely dead. Since replacing that fixture, my bill went back down to the original $$ each month, so clearly the issue with that fixture was sapping power.

But like others said, first step is changing provider. I changed to town square after the shock of seeing my last months bill. Rate went from 23 cents to 10.5 cents

Will check it out. Headed to state house tomorrow night. There’s an awesome local pop punk band opening (Cinema Stare)

Have some time to kill in New Haven? You’ll fit right in

It’s all one unit, so it’s 4 bdr 2 bath for $3400. Renovated with in unit laundry and central air on the top floor

Change your energy supplier. The default supplier is UI and they recently upped their rate to like 23 cents per kilowatt hour. My bill nearly doubled. I changed my supplier to Town Square at around 13c per kWh

OT, but if anyone is looking for a 4 bedroom/2 bath split between two floors, let me know. July or August start date

Did you buy it at the 5 and 10?

You can put the word out through a couple of CT based podcasts when it’s set up. The Horror Show, The Pint, Super Retro, etc.

Absolutely

Cinema Stare. Super catchy pop punk that sounds completely modern even while paying homage to the pop punk bands of the 90s and early 00s

Get a dog or borrow a dog and go to a dog park. I’ve met most of my local friends and some girls I’ve dated or hooked up with there. If you’re into horror movies, there’s a fairly decent sized horror community here and a lot of great people are part of it.

As for kink-specifically, well, I’ve always just met people through normal channels (apps, work, dog park, concerts, horror events, cons, through friends, etc.) and just hoped that they didn’t have the sexual personality of driftwood when it came to the bedroom.

Everyone everywhere says the place they live sucks for dating. Especially NYC. I think people just are largely not that interesting and when you start meeting a lot of people, you realize that quickly

I can vouch for the live act this Friday night at Cafe Nine, Carissa Johnson. Really good. But have to be in the mood for a somewhat lower key acoustic show, at least when she’s not with a band. Cool little bar too, known for live music

Mecha works!

That could be Arlo. He lives behind me and loves to pat my corgies head

I’ve seen signs for a missing cat in foster st. Is he 6 lbs? I think the missing cats name is jelly. Got a pic?

Yes yes and yes. A pretty decent sized downtown area for a city of a bit over 100K. The culinary scene obviously can't compare to something like NYC, but there's good variety and quality. Obviously the pizza comes to mind. For art/culture, there are museums, venues that get national touring acts (think more 250-1000 seat-type bands, not arenas), etc.

One thing I love about New Haven is that with a relatively small amount of effort, you can be (within reason) wherever you want. It's a great launchpad to the surrounding area. <2 hours to NYC by train. 2 hours to Boston (no direct train like NYC, but amtrak/bus/car). Maybe 2-3 hours to skiing (I don't ski, so could be more). 1 hr to ocean beaches in RI. Some hiking nearby, but always 1-2 hours from a ton of options. Tweed airport seems to be getting more and more flights to various cities in the South daily.

If you want to be in New England while still having great access to NYC or even Philly, but not feel like you're just a stop on the highway that is CT, New Haven is a good option
