It's bad. I know someone who plays drums for one of the shows. Other shows are closing for good.

@Stereoguy I don't know. It's probably a waiting game at this point. I think people are starving for real-life entertainment, and there's just no substitute for live concerts, sporting events, and even movies. As soon as this dies down, I DO think that people will return.

Manhattan itself is a different story. It was getting ridiculous, cost-wise, and people are leaving in droves.

@Stereoguy I used to commute to NYC. Tolls, gas, parking, everything was going up, up, up, and we NJ commuters were getting buttf**ked. Now I have some time to look around, and I may not even stay in this area.

@Stereoguy I know. It's a tough call. I would lose all of my support system and all of my bandmates. I would not budge for less than 2x what I'm making now
