Phoebus Amphitheatre Attendees & Staff Bangkok - 1990s Venue History

Did You Visit Phoebus Amphitheatre in Bangkok in the 1990s? Did anyone here spend time in Bangkok in the mid-1990s and remember the Phoebus Amphitheatre Complex on Ratchadaphisek Road? I’m researching an article about Phoebus and its concert history. A remarkable number of international bands performed there during the 1990s, with documented shows including Michael Learns to Rock (1994), Blind Guardian and Black Sabbath (1995), and Shed Seven (1996), as well as performances by Thai artists. I’d especially like to hear from anyone who actually visited Phoebus, worked there, or attended a concert there. What was the complex like inside? It seems to have contained several different entertainment areas, possibly including a pub/nightclub, cocktail lounge and concert venue. I’m trying to understand how these different sections were arranged and, most importantly, where within the Phoebus complex the major concerts actually took place. Was the “Amphitheatre” a dedicated concert hall, or was it part of one of the other entertainment areas? I’m also trying to establish the exact address and location of Phoebus, what buildings were immediately around it, and what occupies the site today. Regarding the old photograph attached to this post: I suspect that the large parking area visible on the left-hand side of the photograph may have been the Phoebus parking lot, but I have not been able to confirm this. If anyone recognizes the view or can identify exactly where Phoebus stood in relation to the buildings and road in this photograph, that would be extremely helpful. If you were in Bangkok during the 1990s and remember Phoebus, Capitol, Yaohan, or the old Ratchada nightlife scene, I’d be very grateful for any memories, photographs, concert tickets, flyers, advertisements, or other information. Even small details could help reconstruct the history of this largely forgotten Bangkok concert venue.

Dark Romance Readers - Personal Experiences & Resources

Looking for personal experiences and resources about dark romance: I’d love to hear from fellow readers Hi everyone! A few friends and I are putting together a series of discussions about dark romance and what it can tell us about our relationship with fiction, desire, violence, consent, power dynamics and fantasies. I'm a big dark romance reader myself, and it's a genre I particularly enjoy. That's actually one of the reasons I want to start this project by listening to other readers. Before presenting specific works or developing our own analysis, I think it's important to hear directly from people who are part of the fandom. Not to judge them or "study" them from the outside, but to understand the different ways we, as readers, experience and interpret this genre. I want this to be a conversation between people who actually read and enjoy dark romance, rather than a discussion about readers in which readers themselves are left out. Personally, I see dark romance as a deeply ambiguous genre. I don't think it can simply be reduced to "romanticizing violence", but I also don't think we should automatically consider it a form of feminist empowerment. Some works can genuinely be problematic in the way they portray violence, abuse or power dynamics, while readers can simultaneously have very complex, critical and personal relationships with those representations. That's precisely what I'm interested in exploring. Some of the questions I'm curious about are: What draws you to dark romance? What do you look for when reading it: entertainment, arousal, fear, fascination, exploring fantasies, intense emotions, escapism, something else? Do you distinguish between what you enjoy in fiction and what you would actually want to experience in real life? Have certain works allowed you to explore fears, experiences or difficult emotions in a context that felt controlled or safe? Some readers describe dark romance as cathartic, as a way of reclaiming something, or even as a way of processing traumatic experiences. Does that resonate with you, or not at all? Has your relationship with dark romance changed as you've gotten older or gained different life experiences? Have you ever stopped reading a book because you found its portrayal of violence, consent or abuse problematic? Do you think some of the criticism directed at dark romance is legitimate? If so, which criticisms? Conversely, do you feel that some criticism is condescending towards readers, or assumes that women are incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality? Have you discussed these questions with other readers? Are there significant disagreements within the fandom? I'm also very interested in sources. If you know of academic papers, books, dissertations, podcasts, lectures, videos, surveys, journalism or other serious resources dealing with dark romance, romance fiction, fantasy, media reception, consent, representations of violence, etc., please share them! I'd love to include perspectives and sources that I might not have come across myself. And one thing I'd really like to emphasize: I'm not looking only for testimonies that confirm my own perspective. If you think dark romance can have harmful effects, that some representations are genuinely dangerous, or that you disagree with some of my assumptions, I would be just as interested in hearing from you. The goal isn't to build a case either for or against dark romance. It's to understand the genre and the people who read it in all its complexity, including the contradictions, disagreements and uncomfortable questions. So please don't feel like you have to defend your taste here, or that you're being evaluated. I'm here as a fellow reader, and I'm genuinely interested in hearing from other readers. There are no "correct" answers I'm looking for. If you'd rather not share anything personal publicly, you're of course welcome to message me privately. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their experiences, thoughts and resources!❤️

Klarna & BNPL Users in Canada - Concert & Festival Ticket Spending

Looking to speak with people who use Klarna or other financing options for entertainment spending Hi everyone, Full disclosure -- I'm a journalist looking for people to speak with for a story I'm writing. I'm looking at entertainment spending by Canadians, and the use of Klarna and other buy-now-pay-later has risen sharply in the last 3 years specifically for things like concert and festival tickets (Eras Tour, Coachella, etc.). If anyone here has experience that they think may be relevant, I welcome your DMs. Please note that I won't quote you or refer to you by name unless you give me express consent to do so.

Musician Troy Castellano - Biker Contest Dispute & Muscle Shoals

A Biker Party Contest Was RIGGED?! | Troy Castellano Ep 23 Pt 2| Trailer A biker-party contest became so controversial that someone sent a certified letter demanding the results be overturned—and that is only one of the unbelievable stories Troy Castellano brings to Episode 23 Part 2 of Beer, Booze & B.S. Troy returns with Chrissy and Paul for another raw, hilarious and unexpectedly emotional conversation about band life, biker-bar chaos, Muscle Shoals music history, groupies, dangerous venues, songwriting, record deals and the stories behind some of his most meaningful songs. The episode begins with Troy explaining why he now turns down most requests to play cover songs—and which overplayed classics musicians eventually cannot stand hearing anymore. From “Mustang Sally” and “Wagon Wheel” to charging $100 for repeated requests, Troy reveals what really happens when drunk fans refuse to take no for an answer. Then the conversation dives into the legendary world of Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. Troy shares what it was like recording “Head from My Heart” inside the historic Alabama studio connected to legendary recordings by artists including The Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart and Paul Simon. He also talks about meeting original Swampers bassist David Hood and working inside a room filled with instruments and musical history most people have heard their entire lives. And then the stories get completely out of control. At one biker event, Troy’s drummer’s wife won an adult contest with a $300 prize. Someone became so angry about the results that an official certified letter was sent demanding that the entire contest be reversed. Yes—a certified letter over a biker-party contest. In Episode 23 Part 2: 🏍️ The supposedly “rigged” biker contest and the certified complaint 💵 The unbelievable argument over a $300 prize 🎸 Why Troy refuses to play many cover-song requests 🎶 “Mustang Sally,” “Radar Love” and the most overplayed songs 🔥 Groupies, musicians, motorcycles and the attraction of band life 🔫 Dangerous country bars, guns, baseball bats and fights during gigs 🎤 Troy’s rapid-fire Band Guy Confessions 🎹 Recording at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio 🎸 Meeting original Swampers bassist David Hood 📀 The story behind Troy’s song “Head from My Heart” 🌎 Why “Hell We Raised” connects with listeners around the world 📻 Commercial jingles, television placements and music licensing 💰 How songwriting, publishing rights and master recordings really work 🤖 AI-generated music videos and the changing entertainment industry 🍌 A taste test of the Cutwater Banana Mudslide 🍒 Trying Cherry and Grape Carbliss cocktails 🖋️ Troy’s daughter’s incredible artwork and tattoo career But Part 2 also contains one of the most emotional moments ever shared on Beer, Booze & B.S. Troy tells the story behind “Enough to Say Goodbye,” a song inspired by something his mother said after surviving cancer, strokes and a heart attack. Troy explains how she heard the song before she passed—and how she took her final breath at the very end of the recording’s last strum. Troy also shares the story behind “This One’s on Me,” his tribute to military members and veterans. The song was included in a Minnesota country compilation project that Troy says helped raise approximately $70,000 for Minnesota military causes. This episode moves from outrageous biker stories and musician confessions to legendary recording studios, family, grief, veterans and the real business behind making music. It is funny, honest, emotional and completely unpredictable—exactly what happens when Troy Castellano sits down with Chrissy and Paul for Beer, Booze & B.S. 🎬 WATCH EPISODE 23 PART 1: https://youtu.be/pcST8Oxb4lA 🔥 WATCH THE PART 2 TRAILER: https://youtu.be/3\_1VbXWfz3Y 🍺 SUBSCRIBE TO BEER, BOOZE & B.S.: https://www.youtube.com/@beerboozeandbs 🎧 LISTEN ON ALL MAJOR PODCAST PLATFORMS: https://feeds.transistor.fm/beer-booze-b-s-podcast QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS: What song would someone have to pay you $100 to perform—or listen to—one more time?

Collectors Who Own 1986 Prism VHS - Torso (1973) Release Details

Looking for information on the 1986 Prism Entertainment VHS release of Torso (1973) Does anyone here have any information about the 1986 Prism Entertainment VHS release of Torso (1973)? I know Arrow released an American version of Torso on their 2018 Blu-ray — the same censored US version originally released by Joseph Brenner in 1974 and later issued on VHS by Prism Entertainment in the 1980s. However, the Arrow release is not simply a restoration of the Prism VHS. As Arrow explained, this version was reconstructed using material from different sources, including the Prism VHS opening and other elements, combined with footage from other sources. I also own the UK Iver Video VHS, which suffered even heavier cuts. I’m researching the different home video releases of Torso for an article and would really appreciate any information, details, or experiences with the 1986 Prism Entertainment VHS release. Thanks in advance!

Adults Who Were Kids in 2003 - Childhood Memories Before Smartphones

What do you remember about being a kid in 2003? (Journalism student looking for your memories!) Hi Everyone! I’m a college journalism student writing a story about what everyday life was actually like in 2003, the year I was born, and how that world has evolved into the one we live in today. I’m especially interested in hearing from people who were children in 2003 because your memories are very different from those of teenagers or adults. I’m hoping to understand what childhood looked and felt like before smartphones and social media became a part of everyday life. Feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you’d like, or simply tell me your own memories. About You ● How old were you in 2003? ● Where did you grow up? (Country, state/province, or region.) School ● What grade were you in? ● What do you remember most about school? ● What were recess and lunch like? ● Were there cliques even in elementary school? ● What games did everyone play at recess? ● What school supplies, toys, or trends were considered “cool”? Friends & Social Life ● What did you do after school? ● How did you make plans with friends? ● Did you mostly play outside, at each other’s houses, or online? ● What was your neighborhood like? ● Did your parents let you roam around the neighborhood? Technology ● Did your family have a computer? ● Did you have dial-up internet? ● What was your first experience using the internet? ● Did your family share one computer? ● Did your parents have cell phones, flip phones, or pagers? ● Did your house still have a landline? ● Did you play video games? Which ones? Entertainment ● What TV shows couldn’t you miss? ● What movies were your favorites? ● What toys did everyone seem to have? ● What books did you love? ● What music did you remember hearing all the time, even if it was your parents’ music? Family Life ● What was a normal weekday like? ● Did your family eat dinner together? ● What were family vacations like? ● What rules did your parents have about TV, computers, or video games? Looking Back ● What’s something about childhood in 2003 that kids today would probably find surprising? ● What’s something you miss about growing up then? ● What’s something that’s better for kids today? ● Do you think growing up before smartphones changed the way you see the world?

Creators & Industry Professionals - Authentic Fandom Conversations

Here’s the thing with me, I’m not interested in the overly polished “everything is perfect” version of fandom culture. I want honest conversations. I want writers, voice actors, artists, directors, producers, and executives to feel comfortable being real with me and with my audience. I understand how difficult and frustrating it can be navigating communities that can sometimes feel unforgiving. Spaces where people become afraid to speak openly, defend themselves, or express their genuine perspectives. That reality exists, and I believe there needs to be room for more authentic dialogue surrounding it. If I expand into interviews as part of H.A.G Entertainment’s content roadmap, authenticity will be at the core of the platform. I want creators and industry professionals to speak candidly about their experiences, the positives, the challenges, the frustrations, and the realities of working within these industries. My goal is not to create division or fuel negativity, but to provide perspective and meaningful conversation. At H.A.G Entertainment, we value people’s experiences and stories. We are committed to remaining a trusted and fair platform that does not take sides, but instead provides space for open dialogue while maintaining integrity and respect for our audience. This industry was built through the sacrifices, creativity, and passion of countless individuals. Nobody is perfect, and real growth comes from honest conversations. It’s time to raise the standard for authenticity and create space for the voices of the people who helped shape these fandom communities into what they are today. So if you are a creator, performer, executive, developer, artist, or someone who has contributed to building these spaces, I want to hear from you. And trust me when I say this, I’ve built an audience that genuinely wants to hear your perspective.

Sports Journalists - DOJ Probe Into NFL Streaming Paywalls

Since I began writing about industry and government decisions that are impacting consumers in the entertainment space, I've found myself explaining what's happening in the realm of sports more than I ever have before (which used to be never, to be clear). It's a position that I didn't expect to be in, but consumer-focused writing has required learning about sectors that cross into the TV landscape as that's my chosen concentration. So I wrote about the DOJ's investigation into the NFL for Forbes, explaining the circumstances that seemed to have triggered it which is centered on the cost of tuning into games. The NFL likely won't be the sole major sports league to face a probe by the federal agency since the issue looks to be about streaming TV and the pay-walls that are making it difficult not only to find games but also expensive to watch. If any sports journalists, or folks deeply invested in this topic, have insights they can share that further the conversation, I'd love to hear from you.

Heated Rivalry Fic Authors - Comment Harassment & AI Spambot Impact

Looking to interview Heated Rivalry fic authors Hi, everyone. I am an entertainment/.culture journalist (and longtime fanfic reader/writer) who is working on an article for Fansplaining about the growing pains fanfic culture is currently experiencing. As someone who has been reading a lot of Heated Rivalry fic these past few months (and finding lots of good recs on this sub!), I have watched many authors choose to halt their writing, make their fics private, or remove them altogether due to an uptick in unsolicited criticism and harassment in the Ao3 comments and/or on social media platforms. I don't think this shift is particular to Heated Rivalry fandom, but I think it is particularly visible here due to the massive growth in a relatively short period of time. I am planning to interview some people on the programming/academic side about how the rise in AI spambots might be playing a role in this shift, but I would like to include the voices of fanfic authors who are writing in this environment. What kinds of engagement have you been getting? If you have been writing fic for a long time, have you noticed a shift in comment culture? If you just started writing fic on Ao3, has it been difficult to understand established norms? Do you often have to wonder if the comments are spambot or human? How does engagement differ on Ao3 versus social media, if it does? If you are someone who has decided to stop posting or to make a fic private, what led to that decision? If you are willing to chat with me, please reach out via email at [email redacted]. If you have any clarifying questions for me, you can ask me in the comments below or via email and I would be happy to answer. I am very aware of the history (and present) of media writing about women and queer-led fan culture in dismissive, misogynistic ways, and am not looking to contribute to that kind of coverage. You can check out Fansplaining, including the two articles I have previously written for the site, at this link: https://fansplaining.com/author/kaytiburt/ Thank you for considering!

VR Basketball Developers - Immersive Sports Experiences & Access

Most people still think gaming and sports are separate worlds. They’re not. The future of sports is being built inside immersive experiences, virtual spaces, and interactive communities right now. 🏀🎮 And the people building it deserve more visibility. That’s exactly why we created Jams & Joysticks. Too many innovators are creating groundbreaking experiences that never get the spotlight they deserve, not because the ideas aren’t powerful… but because the right people never hear their story. So we’re changing that. 🎙️ Our newest episode features Christine Schwarz, co-founder of Virtual Round Ballers. And this conversation opens up a much bigger discussion about where gaming, fitness, sports, and VR are all heading next. ⸻ In this episode, we dive into: 🏀 How Christine went from fitness enthusiast to VR innovator 🚀 Building immersive basketball experiences in virtual reality 🧠 Why accessibility and engagement matter in sports tech 🌍 How VR can connect players of all ages and skill levels This isn’t just about gaming. It’s about the future of human interaction, sports training, entertainment, and community. And honestly… we’re only scratching the surface. ⸻ What makes conversations like this important is that innovation no longer lives only inside massive studios or billion-dollar companies. Some of the most creative ideas shaping the future are coming from independent creators, startups, developers, and visionaries building things people haven’t fully imagined yet. That’s who we want to highlight. That’s who we want the world to see. 🎥 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eM2BWDBU ⸻ Jams & Joysticks is continuing to grow: 🌍 Expanding across the global gaming community 📺 Bringing conversations to Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and connected TV platforms 🎮 Showcasing more developers, creators, founders, and innovators 🚀 Creating a space where gaming culture, technology, and storytelling collide ⸻ So if you are: 🎮 Building a game 🥽 Innovating in VR or immersive tech 🧠 Creating new experiences in sports or gaming 🚀 Building something people need to see Let’s connect. We’re actively looking to: • Feature creators and innovators • Spotlight games, startups, and technology • Collaborate with people pushing the culture forward Drop a comment below: 👉 What’s one innovation in gaming or VR that you think will change the future?

Current & Recently Departed Rogers Employees - Voluntary Buyout Impact

Are you a current or recently-departed Rogers employee? I want to hear from you. Yesterday, I broke the news that Rogers Communications is offering voluntary buyouts to 50 per cent of its employees (with some exceptions/ ineligible groups: beginning of story below, and article linked.) I want to learn what the effects of cost-cutting look like internally. I will not use your name in stories or disclose it to the company or publicly. Please contact me here, email me (my email is on my Globe profile page), or message me on Signal at igalea.63 Thank you! ----- Rogers is offering voluntary departure packages to 50 per cent of its employees, excluding Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, as telecom industry revenue growth has slowed and companies look to shed costs. On Monday, Rogers said that about half of its employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages. Rogers did not say whether it had a reduction target. Typically, only a minority of employees offered a voluntary buyout will accept it. Rogers had 25,000 employees at the end of 2025. This includes about 3,000 MLSE employees, as Rogers is now the company’s majority owner, but these MLSE employees will not be offered buyouts. “We are taking steps to adjust our cost structure to reflect the business realities of the current environment. As part of this, some teams have chosen to offer voluntary departure and retirement programs to give some employees the choice to decide whether they’d like to stay with the company or begin a new chapter,” said Rogers spokesperson Zac Carreiro in a statement. Some teams within the company are eligible, though others are not, including on-air talent, Sportsnet employees at Rogers Sports and Media, Toronto Blue Jays and union employees.

SVF Entertainment & Bengali Families Abroad- Food in Satyajit Ray Film

To all #PR & #MarComm friends in my network, I am working on a story sparked by a recent binge of #SatyajitRay’s films and would love to connect with people from SVF Entertainment and Bengali families living abroad. The idea is to explore how #food in Ray’s cinema shaped memory, identity, and everyday life across households. I’m also hoping to speak with #SandipRay to dive into the legacy of Sandesh and its role in shaping storytelling across generations. If this resonates, I’d love to #connect. This is for a story on #Slurrp.

Music Managers & Estate Administrators - Exploitation of Artist Access

I’m in development on a documentary series exploring how access and trust get exploited in the entertainment industry, particularly around major artists and their estates. I’m looking to speak with people who’ve worked behind the scenes: in management, publishing, business affairs, legal, or estate administration. Especially anyone who encountered situations where someone gained access to an artist or their legacy in ways that raised concerns. This is about accountability, pattern recognition, and giving voice to people who saw things but never had the right platform to share them. Confidentiality is respected. No one is named or quoted without explicit consent. If you have a story or know someone who does, reach out.
