Terrible situation that seems to get worse as each day goes by. My fear is the economic damage has only scratched the surface...so far.

I am sorry to hear the bad news, but think they made the right decision.

Cutting Edge is at least still on. I'm speaking again this year.

I wouldn’t bank on that Cutting Edge gig.

Well they have far less of a social distancing problem, there’s still the issue of travel restrictions, and plain old fear.

That show might get canceled too, sooner or later.

Care to make a friendly wager on it? I'll go as high $50 that Cutting Edge goes off on schedule.

Pass.

I don’t feel that strongly either way.

Will Burning Man go the same route as G2e?

Now I’m glad I didn’t make that bet. I wasn’t considering that the conference would go virtual.

I hear that there will be a tables games show Nov 16-18, 2021. It will not be run by, nor called, Cutting Edge, but will be similar in purpose. That is about all I know at this point. Just wanted to throw it out there early.

I think this should be the same result for spring fling 2021 tbh

We just aren't anywhere out of the woods yet to have a crowded dinner with a bunch of internet strangers from across the country.

I can't imagine, in particular, being seated next to avowed no masker, AZDuffman, or even 'who cares if three million die, death from plague doesn't bother me' DRich and feeling any kind of comfortable about my Chance's at contracting and spreading covid

If I've had my shots I'll be there. If not I won't. I understand there will still be some personal risk. But I plan on doing all the things i used to do before the pandemic. At least as much as the governments will permit. I really would enjoy meeting you, and DRich, and AZ.

If you show up I will feel obligated to pay you the $20 that I owe you. I do hope at some point that we get the opportunity to meet. I have a soft spot for doctors probably due to my 22 or 23 operations and the fact that I spent four years doing medical imaging research.
