Just Postponed (or Cancelled)

Opening day delayed by two weeks.

Somewhere there is a 55 year old white guy just absolutely seething about how millennials are ruining everything.

stop picking on Space like that, in this time of crisis.

I was going for "Bobby Knoop would've played thru Coronavirus! Durable as American manufacturing!"-type whining, not Space's particular brand.

^^ Somewhere, Vansmack is sitting up erect in his chair with a sixth sense telling him that somewhere on the internet, someone is referencing Angels from 50+ years ago in a positive manner. He'll be here momentarily.

When is the Black Cat going to follow suit?

No time soon, apparently:

A Message About Coronavirus

Because we are under the 1000 capacity guideline set forth by the DC Department of Health, we are moving forward with our scheduled shows as planned.
...
As of right now, our refund policy remains the same. Refunds are only offered in case of show cancellation. And as of right now, our shows are proceeding as usual.

That is bizarre

[StoneTheCrow]

Love the place but that’s asinine.

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

Not even offering refunds is so tone deaf.

[Space Freely]

You guys must have gotten the same email i did.

Are there other local venues with capacity less than 1000 who are staying open?

State Theater and Jammin Java appear to be carrying on. Same with Birchmere and City Winery. And i didn't see mention of refunds.

Not saying it's not bizarre that they're staying open, just saying they're not alone.

they're putting their economic survival over the health of their patrons.  cancelling events and refunding tickets could put them out of business.  hence they're making the capitalist choice.

And that’s fine! People are under no obligation to go. My only problem with this would be with Black Cat Sycophants (Sycocats?) who think the Black Cat loves them and has their needs at heart.

Those people are ridiculous.  Dont they know that only the 9:30 club cares about you. And a little bit the Anthem, but not that much.
