Upcoming Northwest tour
Added 2020-03-12 16:53:25 +0000 UTCIf you have tickets to my pacific northwest tour (March 19 through March 28), please read this. You may also read this if you don't have tickets, but it may be a waste of your time. You have tons of COVID-19 emails to read from companies you bought one thing from 7 years ago.
We are cancelling the Yakima show as it's at a venue above the state-recommended 250 capacity. Those who bought tickets will automatically receive a full refund. All the other venues are at 250 or fewer, and we are not currently planning on cancelling those shows.
We are, however, offering refunds to anyone who has purchased tickets that does not feel comfortable attending. If you are 60 years or older, we recommend you take us up on this offer. This goes for Eugene, Everett, Vancouver, Kelowna, Richland, Spokane, Moscow, Couer d'Alene, and Seattle. (That is for the city of Eugene Oregon, not just a guy named Eugene). If you'd like a refund, please email refunds@stevehofstetter.com before Monday March 16th so he has time to process all of them. Please include the name you purchased tickets under and the date/time & city of the show.
As the situation develops, we will be making decisions on future tours as well.
In the interests of public health, there will be a few changes at the meet and greet after the shows. As much as I want to shake hands with everyone, there will be absolutely no physical contact post-show, even for pictures. Also, sales will be credit card only to avoid the transfer of cash between parties. The good news is we will still be selling shirts. Even if you don't like the shirts, they can be useful in a post-toilet paper society. (If you're one of those selfish toilet-paper hoarding monsters, I hope you get crushed by a giant pile of it).
If you do attend, of course, I'd love to see you. After the show, we will wave at each other longingly, like one of us is on a train slowly pulling away from the station.
I do ask that you be mindful of your fellow patrons. Please, please, please wash your hand thoroughly before and after the show. (And just in general, you dirty dirty boy).
One last thing: the name of this virus is Covid-19, commonly referred to as Coronavirus. It is not called the "China Virus" unless you are an asshole trying to scare racist people.
Thank you for reading. This is a very strange time to work in the people gathering business, and we appreciate you bearing with us as we figure this all out.
