- Kind of blows my mind that Noah Kahan is headlining above Arcade Fire. -- nm - pmb Nov 29, 14:08 3
  - Not me. Noah's rise this year was insane. plus the Win Butler stuff, they have to rebuild the brand -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 14:10 2

  - Because if this, then that. -- (edited) - sycor Nov 29, 13:58
  - because you're supposed to do something first! - prayformojo 🐵 Nov 29, 13:32 4
    - what are you supposed to do, and why isn't it on the sign? Seems like by including the "then" they are giving away the joke meaning it was intentional -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 13:35 3
