Dear Constant Reader,
We are living in strange and uncertain times. My heart goes out to all those affected by the closures and cancellations. I know how you feel — The Great Burlesque Exposition has just rescheduled for September. It was a very hard decision and a lot of people are impacted, but it was the right thing to do.
Here’s your tip:
Support small businesses as best you can right now.
Producers and performers have had to cancel shows. Many small artists, shop owners, and other independent businesses are seeing reduced traffic and have had events canceled at which they were going to sell. A lot of income is being lost.
If you can, please help them out. You can send your favorite performer a tip or purchase something from your favorite vendor. If you don’t actually need anything right now, perhaps buy a gift certificate you can redeem later. I saw the great suggestion to buy gift cards from your favorite restaurant or cafe to use when it’s safe to go out again.
If you’re one of those economically impacted, leave a comment with your info, so my other Constant Readers can tip you or buy something!
Bonus tip, from the archives, but always relevant:
Be kind.
Everyone is just as anxious and uncertain as you are.
