Might be the last one to actually go see anything great. It ends one week before the deeming.

I couldn't handle going myself, too confined and I don't handle crowds well.

I’m generally the same way, but I could survive it for that.

Even those of us that smoke pipes at work don't congregate.?

That fact that there is more than one of you, and you aware of each others existence, is reward enough. Why spoil that with unnecessary human interaction? God knows what kind of consequences that could have!

Thank you, I have no plans of going anywhere. But I'd prefer to meet as many of you as possible in person.

Is this a variation on dwarf tossing?

Urban Dictionary: spinner

A petite woman. Denoted as a joke, whereby the petite woman is so thin she is able to be mounted and spun in a circle on an erect penis.

Why? It's a pipe show. The Deeming Deadline isn't going to end pipes. Nor is the Deeming Deadline likely to end the social pleasures of meeting up with other enthusiasts.

It's too early to speculate on the state of the virus by the end of July. But, even if vaccinations have still lagged behind schedule, by then it seems likely that a large percentage of folks should have been vaccinated, which should itself greatly reduce the likelihood of contracting the virus due to herd immunity, or at least approaching it. This should be particularly true amongst attendees, since so many are 65+ and will be more likely than most to have been vaccinated.

Except that pipe smokers are cantankerous "you go to hell" personality types.
I wouldn't count on this crowd being at the front of any vaccine line.

Holy Christ, how does a thread about a pipe show turn into an F'ing COVID argument?

I shouldn't be surprised, but I am for some reason.

I'm not closing this down, but I am deleting the posts that have to do with COVID arguing.
