Our truck with staging & stuff got turned around and is on hold, along with the next truck.


Any notion of whats cooking?

Joe Biden won't travel to Milwaukee for 2020 DNC because of coronavirus concerns

Joe Biden won't be traveling to Milwaukee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

And neither will any of the other speakers who will address the now mostly virtual convention, Aug. 17-20.

1. Kicking

to hopefully get more info on this.

2. I hope they go virtual. We don't need a super spreader event.

I'm sorry for its impact on your business though!

3. Thanks! We lost power here due to storm, so truck was finalized

In the dark to get it out.

They were back and forth on podiums and lifts etc. we had state markers and faux wood staging, carpeting etc.

Ah well. Strange year for scenic shops!

I’m sure I’ll hear something - I’ll update.

4. You know, even virtual, they'll need a decent looking stage. So your work should not go to waste!

8. :) Maybe a whole bunch of them. Biden'll need one wherever he is.

As for a superspreader event (Democrats?!), a greater danger would be that the attendees got lost and wouldn't even see each other in the venues that were being planned.

I've given it another moment's thought, and I'd like it to go all virtual, or virtually virtual. It could be very nice, and inspiring.

Plus, in two weeks numbers of sick children should have started rising and of schools having to close soon after opening. We should be displaying responsible behaviors too clearly to be missed.

5. K&R!

I hope it goes virtual, hut hope that doesn't negatively affect your company.

6. Thanks! Seeing a bunch of State Markers and the poles to hold them has me going "hmmm..."

We are still busting ass on some of their stuff, so so far something is a go.

Cheers!

10. Well, that caps it.

As Hortensis pointed out though, that likely generates need for numerous stages/sets for the participants.

11. Hey, maybe hundreds. Flags and balloons instead of

bookcases or kitchens in the backgrounds.

12. Thx!

I hope your company won't suffer, but I am glad otherwise!
