Same where I live. It's like nothing is even happening. I'm in MD now for tomorrow's gig and we went to Giant and the shelves are emptied out. But in PA? No one seems to give a fuck about it

I’m getting emails from all kinds of companies about covid19, like really it’s good to know Line6 has my back on this.
Also, this shit is mentally and psychologically taxing as fuck, I’m almost ready to just go get and get it over with.

Line 6 is good people.
I could barely see through the tears while updating the firmware on my POD HD400 this afternoon.

Honestly, Line 6 does care. I was working there when Katrina hit and we sent out over 200 Flextone III amps to musicians who lost their gear in the flood. And with zero publicity about it, it was really just to help out. The company was involved in a lot of charitable projects. The original owner of the company (Marcus and his wife Susan) are genuinely good people.

That is awesome, I didn't know they did that, very cool to say the least

I’m in NYC.
Manhattan is the emptiest I’ve ever seen, it’s odd.
Brooklyn seems to have plenty of people out and about though.

I’m seeing lots of car traffic on my street today.
I’m guessing it’s panic buyers from the rough side of town who weren’t paying attention for the last month.
My street is the detour from the main route from the rough part of town to get to all the stores southwest.
Kind of nice hanging with my family all day with no place to go.

Maybe this will remind people how nice the simple life is.
But I doubt it. People are dumb.

My 16 yr old son is dying to go hang out with his stupid friends, saying I’m a “control freak”, it kinda sucks making him stay in but I’d rather err on the side of caution.

I just drove by some groceries and it didn’t look that different from most Saturdays. Lots of cars on the road though. Kids are already stir crazy on day one.

My old, bachelor pad roommate (an accomplished guitarist in his own right) never caught the flu or a cold.... he drank like a fish.
I don't know if his drinking kept him flu free or not but, in his honor and to help fend off COVID-19, I just purchased a bottle of Ardbeg An Oa scotch.
This shit if F 'n A awesome.
That's Fred, on the left...
...and one of my favorite songs of theirs... the lyrics are very interesting...

I got 3 weeks of margaritas, 4 weeks of scotch and enough steaks to heart attack out.
Who's with me?

The local Meijer has been completely out of all chicken and beef for three days. The only "beef" they had was Oxtail, which is stupidly expensive even on a good day. I love it, and would be all in for some Oxtail stew, but they don't have any leeks. How the fuck can you make Oxtail Stew without leeks???
As you have read, and probably guessed, I am slightly OCD. I have 6 of everything. I'm covered. Coronavirus can kiss my ass. I pulled four racks of ribs from freezer #3 on Thursday and I'm dry-rubbing them now (ooh, aah…). Early week Baby Back's, bitches. We may have to forego Cole Slaw, but I have Barbecue Potato Chips. We'll get through this

Just went into a Oaxacan corner store and found TP hiding on the top shelf. Even I didn’t see it and im 5 11” wife spotted it
