I've been debating if I'm still gonna go to OM on Friday and catch up with a friend I haven't seen in over a year but it just feels irresponsible at this point :(

While festivals are cancelling left and right I still haven't seen much movement by the club circuit, and I suspect we won't until this gets really bad

I suspect they are holding off as cancelling events would result in refunds, which is cash they don't have to spare right now if they want to continue to take care of their employees with the drought looming.

Despite this I hope the venues/agencies/etc can work together and do the right thing soon. I feel for the touring bands and service industry - tip yer bartenders, buy some merch online.

I'm supposed to play a sold out Schuba's show on Thursday. Will be interesting to see what attendance is actually like. Also supposed to do Empty Bottle on Saturday. I'm guessing both nights will still feel pretty normal.

i was also wondering why people don't go all in on one of those DIY bidets instead of freaking out about TP lol.

id stock up as soon as possible, i have a very strong feeling they're gonna lock the city down in a week and then you're really gonna see runs and shortages on supplies

yeah, i have tickets for white sox opening day, but i doubt that happens and even if it does, like, idk, I haven't missed opening day in a decade, but I hang out with my grandma a lot and i'm immunocompromised anway, so maybe I wouldn't go even if it happens.

I live a 10 min walk from the park and I'm not sure I'm gonna attend a game til july at the earliest.

The way I'm seeing sports fans complaining on twitter, we arent just barring large groups from congregating, we're barring large groups of people who arent taking this seriously from getting together

it feels like the last thing that would shut down in any given scenario since essential staff (hospital workers etc) are still gonna need to get to work if nothing else. its pretty mission critical

might want to check Dev's instagram post...

I have tickets to Caribou on the 20th and I will be very surprised if he doesn't cancel/postpone, the tour starts on the 16th so I assume he will make an announcement soon

I'm going to the grocery store this evening for sure. I'm not really worried about the grocery store because nobody else in the world would voluntarily abide by my absurdly bland diet, so I doubt anyone has touched those foods.

Yo general message: I’m in Edgewater, got plenty of supplies and shit, access to a car and so far relatively healthy. I will likely start working from home soon, if not tomorrow, by next week certainly. if you or someone you know needs help, in whatever kind of situation be it sorta goofy to deadly serious, pm me. I’ll send you my number. In whatever way we can we’ll help. Bear in mind I will be on the clock at work 8-4
