I hope livestreams continue, whether they're simulcast from a "real" show or their own thing done by bands while they're not on the road.

It could be an additional revenue stream for bands & venues. More importantly, it's a step in the right direction for accessibility.

I also hope that those announcing tours, especially indoor ones, are paying attention. Pretty much everything is a known unknown, changing from minute to minute. We have no idea what state things will be in months from now & don't have anywhere near all the information.

As someone who is not in any high risk categories, I am very much on the fence for where *I* feel comfortable. I have seen many who are high risk voicing their discomfort & that is not something that should be disregarded.

If you're facilitating an in-person show, you're taking on a responsibility not just to those who attend but also those they interact with. This is like nothing we've ever experienced - we've seen time & time again how the wrong move can have far-reaching consequences.

I want live music back more than anything else, but I want it for the long haul & I don't want it to come at the detriment of anyone.
