[SML] Lost tours...

[Riter, Andrew]

The owners of the trailers would know, and are billing someone for the rentals, for sure.

Kind of like when a house construction starts, the blue fencing goes up around the site, they get so far with construction, and then stop for a long, long, long time.  The fencing/porta-potty company is still billing someone.

But the first question is still good:  any shows still in cans somewhere?

Happy june everyone,

    During a breakroom conversation today, on how covid shutdowns screwed up everyone's life, someone mentioned being on a tour that got shut down by covid, and how they loaded everything out from the last venue, found a place to park all the trailers, and sent everyone home.
    Okay.  While stuck in traffic heading home, the thought came floating up to my forebrain.  I wonder if there are any tour trailers 
full of gear still sitting out there someplace.   If the touring company 
shut down, laid everyone off and went defunct, does anyone even know where the trailers are and who owns all the gear?

    Food for thought.

Dale
