How are you all doing in Corona times?

We don’t wear masks outside here, only inside building where you are together with strangers.

It seems to be working.

I have never seen anyone without a mask inside a public building since the law started.
I read lots of literature about COVID and this seems to be the way to go.

Bear got his official furlough recently, so we’re both on unemployment for at least the rest of the summer. the music industry seems to be taking the virus more serious than the gov’t. we knew back in March shows weren’t coming back until next year. taking things day by day. America, please wear masks or we’ll eventually lose our shirts. i have no interest in taking on another vocation. thanks.

there’s not a real good way to enforce social distancing especially at the entrance, bars, and restrooms. i’m not convinced the rash of flu that hit Bear’s staff Nov/Dec wasn’t COVID. his particular corporate umbrella has been awesome in listening to experts rather than idiots, communicating ever changing plans, and doing everything they possibly can to retain employees until this is passed. like, we haven’t lost our benefits.

as far as national touring goes, the local infrastructure for that is gone. tours don’t carry large lighting and sound in the bus. that all gets set up in advance through vendors. those vendors are going bankrupt and shutting shop. even when it’s safe to gather again, the live event industry will be scrambling to reassemble. Bear thinks this will shift touring acts back into older style residencies where a band would spend a week in town and do multiple shows before moving on.

things will definitely be different after this. trying not to allow the sheer terror and enormity of the uncertainty ahead to overwhelm me. our careers are taking a real kick to the wiener.

Yeah it's for indoors here. A lot of crazy Covidiots (many of whom do not actually live in town) are triggered. Also they're armed, so it's a problem.

i see people inside the city with masks though it has been more of a mixed bag than i’d like lately. the rivers upstate are FULL of tourists spreading/catching germs. you’re not “escaping to the wilderness,” you’re clogging already shit hospitals. stay home.
