King Kon 2020

....I never expected to ever post something that is going to gut me like this one will.....I am calling off the Kon.....in light of the continuing health crisis, and the uncertainty of "recovery" from same-I cannot and WILL NOT put anyone's lives, or their loved ones lives at risk.....I understand that the event isn't until mid-July, but our travel ban is in place in Ohio until the end of June.....so much is unknown at this juncture-that I have to shutter it and I may not be well, or could even be a carrier......I am in almost physical pain from having to make this decision, but you all mean the world to me and the love I have for everyone cannot allow any harm to come to this Tet.....I am so very sorry...hopefully this notice allows for needed cancellations and re-direction of funds.....Tracy suggested putting things off until the same time next year, and if all is well-I'm fine with that.....communication with the Board being shut down might be an issue, but let me calm down and we can discuss that going forward.....regardless, this year has been lost to CoVid......again, I'm deeply sorry.....

(((((Scott))))) I know this breaks your heart, Big Guy. I'm so sorry ♥

As has been said, not your fault. A suggestion-- before the shuttering of the SKMB, mayhap those interested could PM you their contact info- email/ snail mail/ whatever. Contact will not be lost. Plans can be made via technology. The Ka Tet is strong and the Covid-19 will not break the Beams--- The Tower of the SKMB will stand .

Don't forget maybe keeping in contact via Home | Ka-Tet Playground

Never ever !

I'll remain my sarcasm and cynism.
We all will remain our sense of Humor.

And...most important...

We Are Ka-Tet !!
We care bout each other, we love ....scheisse, we love, we are family.

A life without you, worthless.


Love ya Folks and no fckn virus will break the beams !

It's a tough call to make Scott but definitely the right one. This damn virus isn't going to go away anytime soon, I think social distancing is going to be in place for most of this year. A 2021 Kon sounds like a pretty cool idea and a perfect way to salute the close of SKMB.

Rest easy, man. It's the right call. It's a tough one, we know how wrapped up you are in this, but... it's the right one.

Something will happen to make it happen. Friends find a way.

I feel for you and everyone ever involved with the Kons, it's another reminder of how tough things are for folks right now and into the future for some time.
The SKMB has played such an enormous part in the growth and development of so many of us and will forever be a part of us, whether we were able to attend physically to these Kons or whether we were just there in our hearts.

I'm sure there will be groups of us coming together again sometime in the future, we're Stephen's 'kids', we ain't gonna let no teeny-weeny virus beat us!
You've always looked after our King-Konner's Scott and we appreciate you for it.

 

[kingricefan]

I've been expecting the cancellation, Scott. It only makes sense to not have a get together at this point in time. I appreciate how you feel, but you are making the right choice here. There's too many unknown factors at play and I want everyone to be safe.

I know how much these mean to you. It will happen. In the future. And maybe more people will come than ever before.

I'm so sorry, Scott, but this is something that was beyond your control so no need to feel sorry or guilty and canceling this year is the responsible thing to do for everyone's safety.

In light of all that is going on I’d say correct call GNT.

Is there something out there when people can do some group video chat with multiple screen images of everyone?

Well, there goes Ms Mod and my road trip from hell. And here I stocked up on Advil, booze and lots of drugs just for the occasion.

Were you going to go?

 

[DiO'Bolic]

Cross country to the kon, of course. I hear people were taking bets on which state Ms Mod would eventually off me and dump my lifeless body in a an abaondend quarry.

You and Mis Mod were travelling together? Hmmm ... now I'd like to be in that car.

 

[cat in a bag]

Heartbreaking decision, Scott. But the right one. Just too many negatives. How many could even afford to go now, even if everything was opened back up? It will come together when it is supposed to. It's Ka. Big hugs to everyone.

Actually, for the sake of sanity for both of us, we decided it might not be such a good idea.

Even considering the odds being in my favor of a justifiable homicide defense, it was a non-starter.

Gotta love her way with words... and legal cognizance.
