The upside to social distancing at gigs
You can now pretend that the reason there are only 30 people and they're all spaced 6' apart is because of the government mandate and NOT because you honestly don't draw that well and that local live music scene is dying.

Is it just me or have they been getting progressively more skilled at this in the last ~5 years?

Re: The upside to social distancing at gigs
Wait 30 people is a sellout. Certainly more than enough to drown out the bartender yelling to pack it up.

Average band size 4.
Average bill 4 bands.
Multiply X2 for girlfriends, subtract 2-4 to account for bass players not having girlfriends and 30 is about right.
