I get the feeling sometimes that folks rarely check websites anymore, with all updates instead coming from social media. Still it\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve posted here, I figured I\u2019d say \u201chi.\u201d It\u2019s me, Sebastian Petsu, the main person behind DDMS. I\u2019m healthy and have stayed relatively sane despite the obvious challenges. The rest of the core team that\u2019s helped put on past shows\u2014 Bob Sweeney, Scott Troyan, Maria T, Andy Thierauf and Dustin Hurt are also alive and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people have asked me when the Double Decker Music Series will start back up, and I\u2019ll respond here honestly: I don\u2019t know when or even IF we\u2019ll host any more DDMS events. I definitely want to err on the side of caution when it comes to COVID safety. Safe small-scale outdoor live events seem a very real possibility for the summer but potential restrictions don\u2019t work well with the layout of the bus. We really can\u2019t have any \u201cdistancing\u201d on the top of bus. To make sure everyone gets fairly paid and to create a proper atmosphere, the DDMS needs every available seat to be filled. So it feels uncertain that we could host bus events in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, even before the pandemic hit I was thinking that perhaps it was time to wrap up the DDMS. After hosting 44 different sonic sets in the span of 22 evening over the course of 7 years I asked myself \u201chas the series achieved all it can?\u201d And I started to think that maybe it had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the TDLR version is I currently have no plans to put on any double decker events in 2021. As for 2022 and beyond, who knows? All of this is subject to change and there could possibly be spin-off events put on under the DDMS umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there\u2019s any news about upcoming events, it will be posted here and first sent to email subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be well. Stay safe. Stay creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
