We had tickets to the Eric Clapton concert in Ft Worth, but as the Delta Variant became more and more prevalent, and Clapton would not allow a mask mandate, we ended up giving our tickets away. We also had tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit in Dallas, and because they mandated masks and social distancing, we decided to go. And it was worth it!
