FYI… 42% of adults in NJ are fully vaccinated and 60% have had at least 1 dose.  Heading for 70% fully vaccinated by the end of June.

Ahhhh I get it now - didn't realize you live in and/or around where this is taking place. Makes a lot more sense. Welp - I certainly hope for your sake it happens

Yeah… I’m a local and pretty excited.  But even more excited that if we can have a concert that means we’re in pretty good shape virus wise.  I hope wherever you are is well on its way to having shows soon!

Brick Wall officially is closed. Heard they will be rebranding to something else. When all is said and done brick wall and ale house we're too similar to be right across the street from each other.

@mcgruff10 I’ll be at the Bonny Read for lunch next Thursday.  Fake an illness and duck out of school early!

Good news!

https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/04/cdc-says-many-americans-can-now-go-outside-without-masks-heres-the-latest-guidance-and-exceptions.html

Good news in general to be sure but has no bearing on concerts in general or SHN as the guidance specifically says any event with a crowd, people still need to wear masks even if vaccinated. 

It does have a bearing as it shows that numbers are trending in the right direction and restrictions are being reduced which is a great sign for how things might be in September.   41% of adults in NJ are fully vaccinated and the state expects to reach 70% by the end of June. This is all good news and a good sign for things to come.  

That is all fabulous news but until there can be events without social distancing, I don’t see concerts returning. Could be by fall, we will see. As a baseball season ticket holder, I’ve been to the stadium with large crowds outside. Nobody, including me, is wearing a mask (at their seats). We are distanced as required. Nobody is going to wear a mask during a ten hour music festival so social distancing will likely continue to be required and you can’t have social distancing at a festival like SHN. Any event planned before the pandemic has that to overcome. 

5 months away....

Texas Rangers did it and nothing bad happened

How would anyone know? Texas doesn’t test that much, and for a state that has the best access to top vaccines, are cases in Texas going down? Nope , straight as an arrow in April at about 3500 cases and 55 deaths each day. That’s something bad.

March 30th the 7day daily death average was 103. April 30th it was 51. That is half and something good. I am not agreeing with Texas methods but to not see the decline in deaths through April you are ignoring the data in front of you. Could they be in a better spot today with more restrictions and more people vaccinated? Of course.

Yanks and Mets hoping to have 100% capacity by July 1st.  Definitely good news for this festival.

And bad news for all those people who have to watch those two sorry teams play!

The Times rolling stat showed TX with a 10% CFR drop over 14 days which was the influence of my comment, an improvement but a really really small one considering the abundance of vaccines available in the state. Part of my point was Texas’ testing was atrocious back in the days when they took covid seriously. Now that apparently the majority of the state does not, not sure how much disease they are not capturing in their stats.

Genesis recently announced 2 dates in the NY area (and Phil’s son is talking about learning Gabriel era songs!) for the late fall and I just got my excelsior pass the other day. It is exciting, easy to feel the joy, but with nearly a million new global cases each day (and the US with an unacceptable level of new cases to counties like Australia and NZ) and the rapid mutation of this virus and the insane vaccine hesitancy, it’s a little tough to see international travel as a quick return and/or to feel safe packed together with thousands of other fans. Hope I come around, because it’s been a land of confusion here.
