I meant to say 10 years ago not 20. I moved to the area about 11 years ago and it was just after that.

Yeah that's true. i guess anywhere with an arena you can require proof of a negative test, whereas carnival they can't really control who attends. Fingers crossed. All the uncertainty plus the crap weather we're now having is really testing me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing😍 love Bill & comedy tent is so rammed every time he headlines. I'm quite happy for it to be a test event if that's what's needed to get the entertainment industry back on it's feet - I'll show my vaccination certs, do a lateral flow or pcr, whatever, just get me in a field with live entertainment again ❤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't help others like kendal and y not as results will be too late, but will help him put that on and reading maybe! Just like ALW - appease those who shout the loudest Hope im wrong obviously!

What I wouldn't give to be there watching bands I've never heard of, in a genre I'm not into, in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
