“Concerts bring together some of the highest-risk behaviors ...large groups of people...close contact for an ext period of time singing & cheering...removing masks to smoke or drink. (Changing) these things (changes) the entire concert experience.” Brian Labus,

“It is in those venues...that we... hope to produce fantastic music now but [also] the next Rolling Stones, the next Adele, the next Ed Sheeran or Sam Smith. They are of huge economic importance, & not just cultural importance, to our city." Boris Johnson, 2016

Honestly, I'm really bothered about the fact that I ran an errand during the Brandi Carlile livestream like it was nbd. I miss live music. I miss my tl being full of fancams and concert stories. I miss meeting people irl and talking to them about the music they love.

I was at Lowe's in my Vedder-Grohl 2020 mask yesterday when the cashier asked me what it meant. She didn't know them (?!), but then talked for 15 minutes about her deep love of Warrant and all the times she saw them live. It was the most "normal" life has felt in a long time.

Anybody seen or performed any livestreamed (or otherwise safely distanced) concerts lately?

I got to see Brandi Carlile's performance on Sunday, kind of. I was driving when it happened, so mostly listened in the car. Hope to see her live someday!

Regularly shocked by the number of friends and family hoping to recognize themselves in this upcoming book, having little knowledge of the storyline or my writing abilities. LOL.

BFF: Ready?
Me: No! I just thought of a better sign!
Her: Bob Marley's fine. Let's go!
Me: No wait!
Her: OMG that's really bad.
Me: Get it? Throwing the BOOK at LIBRARIANS! 😂
Her: Can we go now?

FB says if I get 4 more likes, I'll get their engagement help, but I think they're underestimating the threats I'm making to irl friends not to follow me. LOLOL.

I need to build a protest playlist. Have any suggestions? Last time the counter-protestors had awesome music & I can't let them out-groove us this time.

(The cause: Our sheriff threatening to stop responding to calls at the library because the librarians' personal politics conflict with his.)

My boss just asked who Dave Grohl & Eddie Veeder were, so now I have to cancel today's appointments & close the office for educational purposes.

Kid3: I found you a new mom friend.
Me: I'm listening.
Her: You have a lot in common. This will work if you maybe tone some things down.
Me: Like the song references?
Her: Like...maybe don't say things like "Heavens to Betsy" so much.

With hindsight, "Were you going to look right or signal before driving us into that effing semi?" wasn't the best thing I could have shouted before the kid took the driving test for her license.
