Yep, I've been treating myself to dinner there the day before the con the past five years it took place.

Seconded. Also: When will you have a map of where all the rooms will be?

Just curious: Did you skip mailing the lanyards for budget reasons?

Well, I'm certainly grateful to live in a state governed by an actual M.D.; he's taken this pandemic seriously and done a fairly good job managing it thus far.

Seconded. I sure wouldn't mind seeing some of the gals from Hololive. I guess we can rule out Kiryu Coco, though.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic myself, so last week I reserved some train tickets for Otakon weekend. I'm a bookkeeper for a home construction company, and since housing-related workers are classified as essential, I was fortunate enough to get my first of two scheduled shots a couple of weeks ago with my second shot to come next month.

We all do, my friend, we all do. We just need to be patient.

Well, I went to Anime Boston back in 2013, so perhaps we may have crossed paths then. Or perhaps not.

My brother lives in Oregon as well and alas, he's having the exact same problem. Hope your power comes back soon.

Given he actually knows his stuff when it comes to things like COVID-19, it's certainly understandable. It's always darkest before the dawn. I'm positive the fandom WILL make a comeback; we all just need to be patient.

Oh, and you displayed none at all, huh? Well, I'll admit our national government certainly made a hash of things early on by not doing nearly enough; the same goes for numerous states. But now that we finally have some adults in charge at the federal level, we'll finally start seeing the aggressive moves that should have been taken right from the get-go. And this will be because the guys now in charge are the ones who take DOCTORS seriously. Now can you please, please, PLEASE stop dragging these threads off-topic?

For heaven's sakes, what governments are doing is following the advice of doctors. You know, the people who are supposed to know what's best for our health. That overwhelming evidence will come from doctors. So unless you're one of them, I don't think you're in much of a position to claim that mass gatherings are safe.

Sorry, but any opinion piece published by a Rupert Murdoch-owned source should be taken with several billion grains of salt. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-post/ Nope, it's up to the person who makes a claim to prove it. It sure ain't my job to do your homework for you. YOU made the claim that Dr. Fauci is unreliable, so the burden of proof is on YOU. And you'll have to use better sources than some opinion piece from the New York Post.

Whose opinion is more reliable than his? Got a reliable source for that?

As for me, it all depends on when I'm able to get vaccinated. If it happens before June, I just might be OK with going. We'll see.
