What program?

Also, side note, unless UConn Avery Point has some very specific reason that you want to go there, really consider your decision, especially if you’re paying out of state tuition there. Whenever I drive by the campus yes it’s nice that it’s right on the water, but the atmosphere is very much like URI’s bay campus… not a lot of community, truly more of a research facility.

The Met has some solid shows coming up with Neighbor, Perpetual Groove, Melvin Seals & JGB, and a bunch of random Dead cover bands. But yes, I agree. Lupos/Strand used to pull some good bands. Last jam show I saw there was Umphrey’s back in 2014.

Reply to Beavertail license plates approved, need orders by fullbacktom

I love Beavertail! Looking at that plate, that's not Beavertail. The light tower at Beavertail is made of light grey granite blocks, not red bricks. So, even if I hadn't just gotten the Plum Beach lighthouse plate, I would probably skip this one.

Not an Alice In Chains fan myself, but my husband is. But years ago they would get like 6-8 bands a year I would want to see. Now it’s 0-1. Just a bummer because we spend so much traveling to venues outside of RI we can only afford 1-2 shows a year when we used to be able to do one annual outside of RI trip and multiple local shows.

Reply to INVALID_SSN on RI Sportsbook by Illustrious-Might315

Moved here over the Summer and the RI Sportsbook is the worst I’ve used. Had several issues and ended up calling their support number to resolve the issues. It seems to be the only way to get any help.

Wonder why they don't book more stuff there, unless it's just getting heads in the door. For example, I saw Cave In there last July, they put them in the lounge, but they played royale and the Sinclair in Boston in 21 and December 22 and sold both out.

Maybe we're just not a strong market
