Re: Coronavirus and the 2020 DMB Summer Tour
UGH... so spring of 2020 we were supposed to go on a family vacation to Disney World. For obvious reasons, that fell through. We are now set to leave on June 14 and return the 22nd next summer. I just realized that if these currently scheduled DMB dates hold up, I won't be able to see Riverbend, Blossom, Deer Creek or Pine Knob, aka the closest shows to me!! I was looking to do BOTH Deer Creek's as well as Riverbend, my local venue.
So now I'm not sure what to do. Taking in both shows in Chicago would be the closest way for me to take in 2 shows. But I hear the Chicago venue sucks, and I have personally been to Chicago so many times over the years that I've basically done all the touristy shit and "seen it all". Thinking about SPAC, but I don't know if I'd even be able to get my wife to come that far, and leave the kids, for not 1 but 2 DMB concerts.
Ugh... my usual dilemma. Which shows to go to, and who to go with me? I used to have a line of friends that wanted to go to DMB shows... now I'm down to a few, but they'll be doing Riverbend and Deer Creek. Also considering Burgettstown, 2 days before we leave for Florida. Maybe I can get 1 of my DMB buddies to come there with me. Not opposed to going to a show by myself, but people would probably think I was a weirdo for doing that!
Edited to add: I still don't really believe these concerts will actually happen next summer. Possibly everything Gorge and after, if things are better by late summer. But 20,000 people in a venue in June? I can't see it. But if they do go ahead as planned, then I'm gonna have to get creative with which shows I attend.
