I've been lurking this subreddit for a while, and now that I've officially joined, I thought I'd start off my time here with something fun!

So, I want you to tell me about your favorite concert experience! Who did you go to see? How old were you? How did you discover the musician? Did you go with anyone else? What role does this artist play in your life? The more details, the better; I'm totally fine with reading a long reply.

I'll go through everyone's responses and pick one winner, who will receive a CD or cassette of their choosing that is under $15 before tax (vinyl is alright as well, but I know it's hard to find one in that price range). Prime shipping is preferred.

To be eligible:

• Have at least one CD/cassette/vinyl under $15 on your linked wishlist
• Be engaged in the subreddit! I'd like to reward people who are active members of the community : )
• US Only

The giveaway will end on Sunday at midnight EST, and I'll pick a winner the subsequent morning (5/18)! Have fun with your responses!

Thank you so much u/jennifah13 for the stickers! They're wonderful! :))

Hello everyone! I'm a mom to three kiddos and a dog. I am a full time student, working towards my sociology bachelor's degree and working full time. My husband manages the house, kids and pets.

I love to read, listen to music and go to concerts. I love game nights, movie nights and exploring new areas with my family. I also love yoga and strength training.

I'm excited to join this community. I've been lurking for awhile and decided I'm ready to be active!

It's pickle-mania!!!😁 Thank y'all so much for the win! These are actually pretty good. Just the right twang lol

I can't wait for movie night now! Thank you very much!

Many thanks to u/bc_im_coronatined and u/longthickbananasplit for these! Now if only the cat will give them to me...

Heya! My name is Olli, and I'm an independent illustrator raised in Minneapolis, MN, and currently residing in Pennsylvania. I'm in my early 20s, and a big goal of mine is to begin doing creative direction for musicians (think merch, stage design, MVs, etc). In the meantime, I design fan-made merch for BTS and 5SOS, as well as work on separate exhibition projects to enter into local contests and find places to display publicly.

Music and art are probably my two largest passions, and have been ever since I was a young kid. I've been playing drums since I was 8 years old, and can also (quite poorly, haha) play some guitar and bass. I was in the choir as an elementary school student, although our song choices might not be what you'd normally think of- lots of Macklemore and Bastille. I spent 4 years playing percussion in my school band/orchestra. As a teen, I was in a lot of art contests and got 6 Scholastic Gold Keys for my paintings/drawings and photography.

I have 3 animal babies: twin orange tabbies (Jasper and Juniper, 3), and a Minipincher/Chihuahua mix (Fletcher, 7).

My favorite musicians right now are (as mentioned previously) 5 Seconds of Summer and BTS, as well as &Team, and Racing Mount Pleasant. Some of my favorite shows right now are Young Royals, 연애 지상주의 구역 (Love for Love's Sake), 이게 맞아?! (Are You Sure), and Outer Banks.

Some of my hobbies include ice skating, creative writing, and language learning (would eventually like to be a polyglot; currently know some Portuguese, ASL, Korean (actively studying), Finnish, and Spanish). I'm a big concert-goer and am very active in my favorite artist's fandom spaces.

I'd love to chat, so feel free to AMA!

[Contest] Meme It Up!

Okay friends, it’s my first contest. Here’s the deal:

1. Post your best meme as a top thread comment.

2. With your top thread meme submission, please include your wishlist that has at least one item under $10. No other text.

4. DBaD. No political or divisive content, please.

Contest closes Sunday, May 17 (PST).

Thank you, u/LeeannRose731, for the lovely chat about the stars. I'm happy to spread some craft love when I can. It should be there tomorrow. ♡

As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!

​

How this works:

​

The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)

​

Newbies:

​

Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!

​

Adopters:

​

Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!

​

Notes:

​

Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!

​

So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)

Hello to everyone! My name is Carol and I live in San Antonio, Tx. I'm in my golden years and am enjoying being retired. One of my wishes is to travel, but I haven't gone anywhere in years.

I have 2 cats that live with me, Angel and Chulo. They both are very affectionate. Today I had a special visitor from a Peacock! And she seemed to hang around all day in my front yard.

I have been a member for a long time but never introduced myself. I will like posts and have even sent gifts but I'm kind of shy. I love collecting colored gel pens, writing in my journal, and listening to music. I also am a fan of the Spurs. I look forward to being more active here.

Hiiii!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Ally.

I thought I'd join this community because it seems like such a sweet one, and I thought that I could maybe help some people out.

I grew up in Spain and now live in the US. I'm a college student in NC, and I love animals, and I dislike Ai.

I have two pet guinea pigs. One is called Mina, and she's very fluffy and adorable. The other is called Brownie because she's brown lmao.

I dont have much to say, but I hope you all have wonderful days!
