Countdown to my trip to the UK is now under two weeks ... and they've started canceling large public events like the one I'm going to. Of course, Italy has a legitimate outbreak of Corona Virus now, and the UK doesn't... yet.

But 17 days ago the virus was still contained to China. So who knows what the world will look like in 17 days - on March 14th - when I'm supposed to be in a stadium with 60k other people in Cardiff.

And who knows what my vacation looks like if we can't go to "public places and gatherings" - like museums and tourist locations across Great Britain - while I am there. I mean, there's only so much of Hadrian's Wall you can walk alone in the Scottish rain before you get cold and wet and want to go have a cream tea in a tea sho.... oh wait... they're public places and could be closed. (Maybe.)

May just need to go to the smallest distillery in Scotland (because fewer people fit inside, we are less likely to share the virus, right?) and sample their wares:

In other news, I'm getting together with my old junior high school metalhead band-mates to record new material this weekend!

Which should be loud.

So there's that.
