Registration has been open for a few days, and is filling up quickly. Early Session is nearly full, of course.

Well, hell. I guess y'all probably knew this was coming.

As the COVID-19 virus continues to gain momentum, we cannot in good conscience hold this event as-scheduled. Even if we wanted to, it's extremely likely that Lakeland would end up canceling it, anyway. Venice has already nixed our April 18 event. We must accept the inevitable and do the right thing. We'll keep you posted as the situation evolves.

someone joked to me: 'hey, there's going to be a lot of empty parking lots in the coming weeks. Improvise!'

again, joke. No one needs to spread this or get sick.
