The last major live event I attended was Modex in March 2020. I will never forget walking off the first leg of the fight home from Atlanta into the Baltimore airport. It was around 9 PM on a Wednesday night, the gate monitors were tuned to CNN, and as I entered the terminal, the president was announcing a national emergency. Before my flight to New Hampshire boarded, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson announced that they were both COVID-positive and the NBA postponed the season. That weekend, nearly every business in the little town in New Hampshire where I live shut down.
