All ages rock shows?

Does anyone know of any places that host all ages rock shows? I remember when I was a teenager I'd go to all ages punk/ska shows in the city. Now I live here I want to take my kid to some, local or otherwise, but I can't seem to find any.

Come to think of it, I've not seen any street press in years either?

Powered USB hub hat?

Has anyone found something like a powered USB hub in hat form for a Pi zero 2 w?

The X302 seems like the right idea, although:

  1. It inhibits the use of a header
  2. There isn't enough docs to figure out if I could just trim a few pins and use the header anyway
  3. Will it actually power the pi, or is the power just for the hub and amp

The ultimate goal is a midi synth with USB inputs for the keyboards. It needs a screen and DAC, and for now I'm building with a Pirate Audio headphone amp but the USB needs to power the keyboard too.

Priming and sealing a painted print

I'm about to paint a PLA 3D print for the first time, and while there is some advice on what primer to use (an automotive etching plastic primer seems to be it), I've not see anything but hand wavy "add a layer of clear coat" for sealing.

Does anyone have any advice on a matte finish clear coat product that works well, as much so I know I have the right class/type of product?

Also, is there much difference between the products from hobby shops vs hardware stores? I can imagine the hobby ones are at a consistency for painting fine details, but it may also all be the same thing.

Thanks
