Neumos in Seattle, in a pandemic: If indie venues don’t make it 'there is no touring'
We got accepted by two different fiscal sponsors [to receive donations on our behalf]. They voted and agreed to take us on. It is not 100% done but by this week, we should be incorporated and also have our fiscal sponsor done by then. We need to have it done. I spoke with a big video game company that has been asking about giving us money and I haven’t been able to take it. I finally had a conversation with them today because they said it was a budget thing and they have to spend it.
Each county can apply to go to stage 2. In order to go to stage 2, you have to have a certain amount of cases per 100,000. Originally what they wanted was for it to be under 16 cases in a couple of weeks and that’s just not going to happen or at least we don’t know how long it is going to take. That’s not feasible because we have too many people in our county because we have Seattle. Now it is by 100,000 so it is a little more feasible. [King County is] still not going to get to open yet.
We spent all this time working on getting that King County money and now it is happening around the country. Austin has met with their city council and they have gone through all the lobbying. They are waiting to hear. Louisville, Kentucky, just reached out and they are having their meeting coming up to do the same thing. It is cool to see all these cities that are going to their governments and being like,"We need to help. You forced us to close. We need financial help or we don’t survive.
