    My mother in law is 65 with COPD and lung cancer and she is having a pain in the balls time getting it.  This state is terrible at this.

    Seems like the Convention Center deal will be the way to go since this'll be FEMA and won't be dealing with any mickey mouse state bullshit. Otherwise, does she live in one of these zips? 19123 maybe?

    Someone told me smokers go to a higher priority on the list.  Kinda ironic, isn't it?
    (That said, my mom smoked for years and only quit when they took some of her lung out....AFTER my dad died from throat cancer/lung cancer caused from smoking.  She has had both shots, for which I am very thankful.)

    **Also -- apologies if the assumption that your MIL is a smoker is wrong....just guessed she was from that write up at 65.  best wishes to her!**

    Is your mom in PA, Cliff? My mom is 66 with COPD--her and my dad are getting their second shots next week, I think. They are in Delaware so it seems a little easier there. 

    I believe I technically qualify but I wasn't even trying to get a spot. My brother kept trying the Rite Aid website angle at weird times of the day and evening. Ended up getting a spot and also me and my brother a spot at around 4 in the morning a couple weeks ago. Try that if you haven't already done so. 

    Mother in law has lung cancer so her and her husband have already gotten their fist shot. I think her doctor was able to help her. Wife is a teacher and she was able to get her first one. Sister in law is a pharmacist, same deal. I think the only member of my immediate-ish family who isn't scheduled is my brother in law at this point.

    So my mother in law was a smoker but isn’t since lung cancer 5 or so years ago. The rite aid site doesn’t work as it says she’s not eligible because she’s not 75.  I hear people get appointments through rite aid and we can pull them up here and there if we say 75 but not 65 with those conditions. 

    My mom is in North Carolina and has both shots already, which is sweet 

    And thanks JP for that link, she’s up a couple zips though

    Delaware has been excellent at all this. PA belongs in the fucking Deep South.

    Spoke with a client at work who's son is an entertainment lawyer who handles a lot of major concert festivals. His best case scenario for concerts happening again would be October but probably not till early next year. They're deciding if they can somehow obtain proof that attendees have been vaccinated beforehand. 

    Also, Eddie is one of the nicest guys in the industry according to him!

    I think the live nation CEO said yesterday that they are looking at 75% to 100% capacity outdoor concerts as soon as this summer.

    These people are all on fucking drugs.

    This is the year to really question why I gave up drugs

    Yeah, I have tix to Sea Hear Now and I'm thinking there's no way this happens. And it doesn't happen because PJ pulls out. I just don't know how you can a) do it in good conscience b) figure out the logistics of this in a reasonable way.

    ...though that may change now with the news I just saw on my phone that Merck signed on to help produce J&J's vaccine. They're guaranteeing enough vax's for all US adults by May. That would change things drastically.

    Hopefully but the way our state has done this up to this point I’m a bit skeptical.  If that does come to fruition it’s gonna be one hell of a summer.

    and if Biden gets all adults willing to be vaccinated to get the vaccine by Memorial Day he is a damn hero

    Has anyone had this Frizwit cheesesteak yet? Trying it tonight. They have a pop up at Ambler Beverage. Swinging by after work. All local beef. Your Juggler is intrigured.

    As a bonus, Forest and Main is a few blocks away. Good guys win again. They've never lost...at least to my knowledge.

    Musi!! Right around the corner from me. Yeah that is good. The breakfast sandwich they do is one of the best things in the world.

    Primal is dorks though. Good intentions but such overpriced meat.  Will point you in the directions of 5 butchers in south Philly with basically the same shit
