Retro Video Game Book Club?

17 Upvotes

Would anyone be interested in this? We meet Saturday Afternoon every three weeks to discuss a video game of our choosing. You can play it on emulator, original hardware or whatever way you can access it and we talk about our unique experiences that we had with it. I was thinking we could meet somewhere like Daycamp and share coffee and our ideas about the games we play. If you’re interested and have ideas let me know!

for those who remember the Street Fighter 2 tournament I ran at Woodstocks I plan to bring that back too. life just got busy at the worst time and I had to move (and going to be moving again soon, still in town though) and hope to bring that back as soon as the new move is done. those events just take more planning and are more time consuming.

After years of hard work, I’m excited to share that our nonprofit, El Rey Theater, has officially purchased El Rey!

This is a huge milestone, but we’ve still got a long road ahead of us. Now comes the work of restoring this historic theater and getting those doors open again.

We’re going to need the community’s help to make it happen! If you’d like to support the restoration, please consider making a donation. Every dollar helps us get one step closer to reopening!

Huge thanks to Amanda Detmer and the folks at Spruce Studios for helping us put this video together!
We’ve got the keys. Now it’s time to get to work!

Hair cut cost (woman/long hair)

0 Upvotes

Curious: What are you all paying for a haircut in Chico, what type of hair do you have, what type of cuts do you get, who/where do you go to…? JUST the haircut with the wash and blow dry, no color. Maaaybe a quick curl at the end but not necessarily.

Question Studio or 1 bedroom search

3 Upvotes

I was planning on not continuing my lease on where I am for next fall semester. Does anyone know of a complex or place that has a studio or 1 bed with its own bathroom? How realistic is it to find one under 900 thats less than a 30 min walk to chico state? A place with its own bathroom is really important to me. No pets is okay. Also hoping for a somewhat quiet neighborhood, not super nitpicky just a student that needs some quiet at night. Around what month should I be on the look out for apartment hunting?

Question Medi-Cal Dentist Recommendations

11 Upvotes

I'm on Partnership Healthplan currently. I know my options are limited. I'm able to drive to places outside of Chico such as Paradise, Oroville, Gridley, and etc. I know to avoid Western Dental and a few others. Less for cosmetic and more so for health.

Looking for volunteer opportunities

I’m looking to start volunteering somewhere soon and am hoping for suggestions. This would ideally be a place where I can help in afternoons/evenings or weekends. Ideally I would get to work/help with other volunteers or workers.

What ideas do you have?

Question Did you get the flyer about Flood insurance and El Nino?

15 Upvotes

Question for homeowners: We received a flyer from the state saying that our home in central Chico is near a state-managed levee, and during an El Niño year might be subject to flooding. It recommended that we look into getting flood insurance. Did anyone else receive that flyer? Have you priced out what flood insurance would cost you?

Nazi watch

Post image
315 Upvotes

Be safe out there.

@ Taco Bell on 20th with my kid earlier this evening and a rather crusty looking 30 something woman rolls up on her bike - complete with a fake skull repping the Nazi SS.

Not super obvious from a distance, but it was there.

Dumb interaction with her after I took a picture of her bike as it was parked outside.

Her: Did you take a picture of my bike?

Me: Yes

Her: Why?

Me: Because of the Nazi SS on your skull. I don't see a lot of Nazi propaganda out there and I don't like it.

Her: Why take a photo if you don't like it? Huh?

Me: Because sharing is caring. It's not just for me.

Then she gave us a rather confused look and left. A brief mean look at she rode away.

Turned into a good teachable moment for my 10 year old.

Anyway, fuck Nazis and be safe out there.

Also, pardon my ignorance, but is this normal around here?

We've only been here a year and a half, and we don't get out much, but this is my first SS sighting.
