PiercingMetal Thoughts: Cancelling because of Covid-19 precautions is not something new to me as I’ve watched other tours get pushed back, Broadway performance runs end in full and conventions/trade shows get postponed or folded until a later date in the year. Despite the progress we’ve made against the virus it is still among us and doing its damage to the way of life we used to live. I don’t fault her decision as no one really wants to get this virus even if they are vaccinated. I’m triple vaxxed and also do some work in Covid-19 Safety and feel that we still have a long way ahead of us. Make sure you check your point of purchase for any refunds as I think run isn’t going to be rescheduled any time in the next couple of months. What do you think about the cancellation and were you hitting one of the shows? I will close by saying please be careful out there and get vaccinated and wear that mask when in crowds. Soapboxing? Sure but its my website so I’ll do that from time to time. I just crave more of what I used to do. Ciao for now.
