I keep hoping the "new normal" on the Café
is magicians helping magicians and discussing magic ... and only magic effects and their performance

I was watching an interview with Lou Holtz, Hall of Fame Coach who made a profound statement.

You never took any responsibility for your South Dakota demand, or was that a mistake? Now, back to the main topic (sigh). |

It was a point. But no worries. I don't think you made a mistake, I think you made an assertion you don't wish to back up just to further your point of view.
And frankly it is a pretty big deal. You want to talk about moving the conversation forward and that can't be done if things just get said that are felt as opposed to proven. South Dakota was an alternative way to handle things is all and I thought that point of view should be represented in any real discussion. It seems as if you only want to push one point of view and any other is stirring the pot. You don't want to discuss you want to implement an agenda. Which is fine if you just say it and don't disguise it as discussion. And also it must be exhausting taking to people who think instead of being cowed so yea I get your sarcastic sigh.

Thanks for explaining the South Dakota thing. (I don't know anything about the place). What happened with the last word "toy" in your previous post? Did you mean something else?
I agree with you that there are lies and distortions in the media, but the tirade you made about sources in one of your posts made me wary about giving up my own personal sources to be trashed. One persons source is another persons "Fake news". It will definitely get much worse as elections get closer and winning becomes all important. Truth will suffer even more. Yes we have to think for ourselves. There are people out there who are trying their professional best, but they are not always the loudest voice. |

They are RARELY the loudest voice.
If you think the source of information it's not relevant ok. To most it dies master. Information with an agenda is very dangerous don't you think?

Thanks, I also respect your thought processes. I wasn't being critical.
All 4 statements are appropriate for discussion on where we are now and how we are going to handle the problem of how fast we can get back to work. |

Out of curiosity have you been put out of work by this?

Most definitely. My last performance was a free Zoom Birthday party for a child of someone I know. The next one will be at a Summer Camp in August in a large hall with plenty of social distancing.
Just finishing my 14 days quarantine since arriving from Miami. Probably why your "Are you going to hide in a cave?" comment really irritated me. Still it is a nice hotel room that I don't have to pay for, so I can't complain. Looking forward to leaving here and practising with Zoom. I have to work hard to keep everything in view of the camera. Still have to work out a pricing policy and extra lighting for Zoom performances. |

So I guess you know that just because it irritated you in no way makes it an invalid question.

True. Are you also out of work? I assume that bars and restaurants are not hiring right now, but there might be things like Summer camps that are happening over the next month or two.

Broadway shut down so that was the end for me.

Sorry to hear that. Hope things start reopening soon. A big indicator will be if the schools are able to reopen for actual classes at the end of August. At the moment they are talkng about hybrid classes - some days on-line, some days in person.
