Where’s the crowd control?

 

[RiverDave]

I am wondering if the crowds will turn up for DS??

Thane said the Long Beach boat show was really slow this year because of the virus deal..

I dont know man, i heard it was quite a pisser...

 

[Socalx09]

Wondering if the Thursday’s street fair will be impacted now? I suppose the boat show is closer to worry about, since things could improve by Desert Storm. Both events are always a blast to go to.

 

[Meaney77]

Wasnt there WiFi Issues last year that screwed up sales for lots of the vendors too?

2 years in a row might be a little harsh on this event.

Last year someone accidentally cut an internet chord while they were redoing Lake Havasu avenue and putting in those worthless islands down the middle.. Somebodies brother in city council owns a wheel shop is my guess.

Anyhow I don't expect it will happen again.

not confirmed yet
local businesses want it, the loss of revenue is huge

I can imagine - at some point people (business) are going to be like WTF?

 

[Blackmagic94]

DS2k20 is gonna be a ghost town.

DS2k20 is gonna be a ghost town.

I have heard more people say they are going this year (this far ahead of the event) than anytime ever before? I'm at a total loss.. I don't know if it's going to be the biggest one ever, or a ghost town..

It sucks because we have to spend 30+K our hard costs before the event.. If people don't show it isn't like we get that $$ back. LOL

[H20 Toie]

I'm going to be there Dave

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Looks like its highly likely, they appear to be trying to confirm with the artists for the alternate date before making the announcement. South by Southwest got cancelled and that is far larger than Stagecoach,

Coachella, Stagecoach Festivals Likely Moving to October

Multiple sources say the Coachella Festival and the Stagecoach Music Festival have been postponed due to concerns over coronavirus outbreak.

variety.com

And the big Indian Wells Tennis tournament just got cancelled which has far fewer guests than Stagecoach.

Indian Wells Tennis Tournament Canceled Because of Coronavirus Outbreak (Published 2020)

Public health officials in California declared an emergency in the area where one of tennis’s signature tournaments would be held.

I'm pretty sure that ads to my expense on beer.. LOL

Not likely. I worked the Mint 400 last week in Vegas and it was packed all week.

There are some pretty significant events being cancelled throughout Phoenix and Tucson, makes you wonder if Havasu is going to feel some heat from state government.

 

[Singleton]

Heard heat kills this virus.
bring on the heat, and problem should be solved.

then again, 65k people have recovered from the virus, but that is not getting reported in MSM

 

[SkyDirtWaterguy]

Everybody stay home and self quarantine while being afraid of their own shadow. I love being able to be out doing shit without all the crowds.......

 

[teded]

Will they cancel Desert storm?
With the cancellation of the desert events I’m taking a big loss on my short term rentals.

@RiverDave cancel the RDP coozie order and place the RDP N95 mask order.

 

[YumaRivernaut]

Always the cynic Dave. HA! HA!
(but you're probably right!)

Vegas is open! mayor Goodman went postal on the press Today for overblowing this and scaring people.

 

[spectras only]

It's not like a boatshow inside a stadium, so it should be alright/ Jjust use fist pumps instead of handshakes when meeting up with your buddies. It works for Howie Mandel the germaphobe.

I would sure hope so

My guess, they will cancel the street fair, all other events of the week will go as planned. Must my $.02. All of the local and state politicians are running scared as they dont want to be the one who allowed an event to go on that was linked to an outbreak, so they are going overboard and cancelling shit left and right.

wait there gonna be free beer? where?

fist pumping is just as bad. guys who use urinals get splash back on the back of there hand and dont wash after. you fist pump now you have there piss on your knuckles.

[robby dmax]

Maybe they should move it into the summer.. weather is always hit and miss

haha im a germaphobe thats how i figured that out. and i work in the ER so i see alot of nasty shit. just elbow bump next time its the safest haha

[Outdrive1]

If the city doesn't cancel the DS street show, I think it will be really busy. Not saying they will or won't, but it seems like theres a lot of pressure to eliminate functions where there are big crowds of people. If I'm there, just don't try and touch me and or shake my hand. lol.

 

[Bobby V]

Don't people sneeze into the inside of there arm. The elbow bump could be just as bad...

I don't see the city cancelling the street show until it gets closer. Still 6 weeks away. Not a lot of set up time for the DS street fair. They have time. Delaying Coachella until Oct. seems like they needed to make that decision now.

agreed
most events being cancelled are through the beginning of April
by mid April another crisis will be generated by MSM

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

What will be interesting is if Country Thunder gets cancelled, same thing as Stagecoach, two weeks earlier but in Arizona versus California.

try and sneeze on the outside of your elbow. please video tape it!! haha

I will take a bet against that! Zero chance they cancel it in my opinion

Im not shaking anyone’s hands during the st fair.. I’ll do the foot tap deal. Lol

 

[riverroyal]

Foot tap, good call. That Fd up ankle will be fine

 

[240Hallett]

Safety Tip: Don’t lick your knuckles.

So is the foot tap the new fist bump?

I honestly think its pretty low risk honestly, just dont go licking hand rails and getting your hands on everything.

As far as handshakes go, those are OUT, i'm now doing ass pats and grabs (pat or grab will obviously depend on who on the other end)

I agree, but MGM announced the closure of their buffets on their properties yesterday. Tourist destinations are still going to take a hit. Which is my Goodman probably said what she said.
