clauderainsrm Normally, we'd be getting ready to go to FEST this weekend. (The 3-Day punk festival in Gainesville, FL) They, obviously, cancelled it last year and we've been really looking forward to the return.
But a LOT of bands ended up cancelling and in the end, my wife and I decided that going to one show every once in awhile was quite different than a series of shows over a 3 day period in close quarters with a bunch of screaming people forming mosh pits might not be the best idea. Which really stinks because again, I was hoping to do that again... hopefully 2022 the situation will look better. Looking at the recent COVID stats in the US, there has been a significant decline in the number of cases overall, but that hospital/ICU level hasn't really budged as much. So there aren't as many people getting sick, but there about the same amount who have ended up with a serious case of it.
if this tracks like last year did - there will probably be another spike in a couple months. But there is a vaccine now, so hopefully that will keep that from happening at those levels. I guess we will find out... anyway, so yeah, I'm bummed that I'm not going. But that did mean that I could start Idol Minor+ THIS week instead of next... so I guess you are benefitting from that decision! :)

The prompt is up and people have started to submit their entries. So make sure to get YOURS in before Monday, and check out what they are putting out there into the world! https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1103032.html Read and comment. There is no vote. So once the deadline passes we will be going straight into the next prompt. So please take the time to check other people's work out and let them know what you're enjoying!

Not going to the FEST also means that I'm giving some of the time I took off back... and going into work. At least tomorrow. I haven't committed to going in Friday, or Monday yet. Who knows what I might get up to... what wild and crazy adventures that I might... Oh... yeah... *sigh* yeah, I know... I probably will end up working. ;)
