1. What concert? I'm guessing it's outdoors?

Probably should have been cancelled because of weather IF NOT for Covid, but I know they hate to reschedule make-up dates, and they never want to give people their money back.

7. You had to have proof of vaccination to enter the area..I agree the weather should have shut it down

and covid.

12. Tomorrow's forecast was worse

I am in NYC, but we decided not to go anywhere with 60000 people. We are vaccinated and could have gotten tested, but we opted not to get tickets. All week there has been a threat of rain and or thunderstorms and we have spent almost the entire waking day outside. Today is the first day the rain actually came. So, sitting in a hotel room, eating takeout and drinking a bottle of wine and watching the same show we would have watched in Vermont.

I have to say that I have been impressed with most people we have seen wearing masks. It is also impressive how many restaurants built temporary outdoor seating.

What I was surprised at is that the mayor did not have a contingency plan to ask some of the large museums near the entrances to the park near the great lawn. The problem telling people to seek shelter is that there are not many places that are public right there.

2. Otherwise, Good Show

Mercifully, right in the middle of a Barry Manilow song.

14. I'm the odd man out here in that I like Barry Manilow.

I’m hoping the rain ends and they can finish. Anderson Cooper is having a good time despite the interruption. Kind of like New Year’s Eve.

4. Yeah, let's have a concert on the eve of a hurricane!

In the middle of a pandemic!

Yeah, that’s the ticket! Woohoo CNN!

[Tomconroy]

5. Not much lightening. Rain will be over in twenty minutes.

CNN says they are still trying to decide what to do. I bet they restart it.

[BannonsLiver]

6. Good. Should have never happened.

[MisterNiceKitty]

13. The entertainers are waiting to resume after the rain "ends"

[BannonsLiver]

16. That's disappointing.

[MisterNiceKitty]

17. yeah sounds there's a dispute behind the scenes

It's not going to get any better the longer this goes though

[Tomconroy]

11. I am sure it will restart.

15. Journey was awesome.
