I think everyone reading this will remember where they were and what their plans were the day the world screeched to a halt and we were asked to shelter in place. After about a week of hunkering down, it dawned on us that this might be the new normal for some time to come.
We searched our companys collective soul and asked ourselves what we could to help. In early March, I gave it the moniker the World Wide Pause. and we vowed to make our time in isolation count.
Solving for Tech, our newest company, was born, not only to look at how tech solves lifes problems, but how life was going to have to solve some of the problems that tech hath wrought. Our first initiative was to immerse ourselves in the world of virtual events. Our new site, Liveandfree.com, was created to amplify the amazing creativity that infused the early pandemic days. Kids who had never seen an opera were now invited to attend the Met Gala. Botanical Gardens opened their doors for virtual flower smelling. Museums curated wondrous journeys into the stories behind the world's great art. We cooked together. The Obamas entertained a nation of prom-less graduates. Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and Jon Stewart rallied for NJ. Paul Simon and friends did the same in Austin. Our families kicked back the rug and danced to a streaming broadcast of the King and I. The cumulative effect: shared moments brought us together, despite being alone.
As the weeks became months, we amplified those voices that addressed systemic racism. The NAACP, the libraries, not-for-profit community organizations, politicians, and community thought leaders let all of us engage in the conversation that was sparked after the killing of George Floyd. The events that week painfully illuminated our nations four hundred-year-old struggle with race.
This week we celebrated PRIDE across the country with events that once again reminded us of the singularity of the human condition. Joyful, proud, and virtual.
This week we will slide into the 4th of July. For many of us, it marks 4 months of quarantining. Youll get to see Renee Fleming live from the Kennedy Center, delight in the plays of Lorraine Hansberry and join in the 4th of July celebrations in Washington DC, NYC, Nashville and Boston, amongst others.
What an exceptional time to be alive. Where you can be everywhere, but nowhere, attend a concert in "the buff" and expand your world while sitting alone in your living room. We hope LiveandFree will entertain you as much as it does us and that you'll find the best list of curated events for crazy times. |
