Being cautious with a virus that isn’t easily caught or cured is admirable of the City of Austin- its an extremely tough decision to make knowing its effects on the music industry. The musicians and bands that were scheduled for this, counting on the income, planning wardrobe, booking travel and accommodations- its not easy to just drop all of that work. But, its our job as artists, music fans, festival vendors etc to carry on.
And just a reminder- we shouldn’t judge others who have caught coronavirus or who have travelled to infected areas. We’re all humans trying to live our best lives and since there’s a lot of us- its hard to always know who is around us, no matter what pre-cautions we take.
