2022 ZOTY Award Ceremony Postponed

Forums:

Apologies to all. I for one was looking forward to a bit of pomp, ceremony, and levity in an otherwise dismal year filled with political mayhem, lingering pandemic, the threat of nuclear annihilation, and expensive dental work.

Unfortunately, the key to the storage closet in the conference room at the San Rafael La Quinta, where the this year's award ceremony was supposed to be held, is in a piece of luggage somewhere in this mess. (When TxR closed, the Zone trophy case was moved there for safe keeping. In retrospect, we should have taken Grahame up on his offer to stash it in his guest bedroom.) Without the key - no trophies. Without the trophies - no ceremony. It's in a black suitcase if anyone can find it.

We have been informed that an impromptu acid test is being held next to the plane chartered by the East Coast contingent of Zoners headed to the awards ceremony but stuck in Denver indefinitely. Please join them if you are nearby.

"We have plenty of drugs, but need munchies" was the request.

Yep. The big surprise was we had the world's first Billy Strings cover band booked. (They also do Trey-Band-horn-section renditions, so it would have been a special treat.) Their flight got diverted to Cleveland. So sad. They were going to cover Billy covering Jerry covering Dylan.
