RMAF 2020 is Cancelled

I see many people in my area (upscale, assuming intelligence) driving alone with windows up wearing masks. Some out for walks alone, enjoying the weather and fresh air wearing masks. I only wear one when mandatory, on a second before entry and off a second after exit. The same lowest quality paper mask since this nonesense began. No gloves.

No surprise, but it’s a great event. I have been twice, might have gone again this year. As a 70 year old cancer-survivor, I ALWAYS wear a mask these days (Arizona). I'm no doctor, just don't want to be a victim.

Canceling a meeting takes a huge amount of advanced planning and negotiations. More work than putting on the meeting itself. That is why so many meetings are being canceled 4-6 months in advance - in addition to cancellation penalties that escalate closer to the meeting.

As one who has attended every RMAF since year one, I am saddened by the loss of this annual event. Just when they finally moved it to a better venue, sans the miles and miles of walking on bad news. 

This Covid thing is getting out of hand. It really is. So many industries are dying on the vine. To be cancelling that far out, rather than at least trying to reschedule smacks of what is going on in my state (CO). The very simple reality is, we don’t have a crazy situation like NY. As part of the entertainment industry, we are going to be dead and gone by the end of the year unless we learn to live with and work with, this Covid reality....
