I'm in Providence to move my daughter into her dorm. We've currently got a RealFeel of 72°. By noon it's projected it will feel like 101°.

Is it an all freshmen dorm?  One roomate or a suite with more?  You bringing the big screen TV or is the roomie?  I laugh when I see the number of 55" plus TVs being moved into the dorms.

I remember when we were moving in to our dorm freshman year, we see a couple guys moving a big ass tv into the hall. One of those giant backed ones back in the day. Thought to ourselves, we really out to make friends with those guys. Turns out they were moving into the room across the hall, and I'm still friends with them now. In fact, one of them was in my wedding party.

And now they have a bigger ass TV at home.

I had the 36" Sony Trinitron which was I think the largest CRT TV.  That SOB was heavy!  Glad Best Buy has free removal when they delivered the Flat screen replacement.  Nice Panasonic 50" that I still have.  Although Panasonic which made some of the best TVs, is no longer in the business.

I was pretty late getting a flat screen tv, we've only had one since 2017. I remember taking the old tube tv out, sucker felt like it weighed 300 pounds. And it was only a 32 inch or something like that.

In 56 years of life, 32 of it married, I had never purchased a television.  We just always got hand-me-downs given to us of increasing size, up to the big Hitachi projection TV we had until April 2019.  On our 20th anniversary, Carol decided, "We should freak everyone out and buy a TV."  I was sick as a dog, but I knew that phrase meant I had to find it that freaking day, before she changed her mind.  So we got a 70"  flat screen.

Just got the 21-22 performance schedule from the Brooks Center.   This year is a "Guitar Festival" (spread out over the fall and spring with Jason Vieaux, Christopher Berg, Hiroya Tsukamoto, Jake Shimabukuro (token Ukulele), Molly Tuttle.  Some very nice non guitar offerings as well.

There is nothing "token" about Jake Shimabukuro.  He's the Jimi Hendrix of the Ukulele.  And he's also a fantastic guitarist.

The difference between guys and girls moving in is always interesting.  Guys bring in their TV and game system, mom makes the bed (probably for the last time the semester), couple of suitcases of clothes, box of toiletries and they're all set.
Women make their beds with two extra pillows, hang matching drapes, Box of stuffed animals, box of framed pictures, four boxes of toiletries, two boxes of shoes, two boxes of underwear, six suitcases of clothes, and two boxes of miscellaneous wall decorations, desk decorations, flower vases ect.

Exactly right.

Good to have it back after nothing for a year and a half.

Not that late, but I wasn't a quick adopter either.  Kept saying that I'd get one when the Sony finally went...it never did.

I have two 50" Sony LCDs from about 15 years ago. They're heavy compared to today's LED TVs but those suckers are still going strong.

I meant non-guitar, he's not listed as part of the Guitar series but I included him because I like him a lot and am looking forward to that September 9 show.

I thought that went without saying...

Just a fun fact, the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts was built with a donation from Robert Howell Brooks, a 1960 graduate of Clemson with a degree in Dairy Science.

After service in the Army, he formed Eastern Foods in 1966 based on the first non-dairy creamer he developed.  They later also sold Naturally Fresh salad dressings and sauces.

In 1984, Brooks bought and developed the Hooters restaurant chain.
He died in 2006.
