Just wanted to check in with a couple of updates for you: Dope tour news, and a bit of a lengthy update on the state of our fansite’s social media.

First off, exciting Dope tour news for fans in Pennsylvania: Dope has officially announced a date for Allentown! If you’re in the area, be sure to grab your tickets at dopetheband.com for all the latest tour news. Don’t miss out!

Next, I would like a bit of a chat about our social media. I’ve been reflecting a lot lately about this site’s social media presence, especially with the TikTok ban now looking all but certain. To be honest, it’s been hard to stay motivated to post on the fansite’s social media as often as I once did. I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, but it’s really drained my creative energy. It’s also led me to reassess my priorities.

After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to shift my focus. For now, I’ll be stepping back from EDF.org’s social media presence. I’m NOT disappearing, and I’m not deleting any of my past posts, but I truly believe the real support and conversations should be happening on Dope’s official channels. Those are the best places to stay connected with the band and fellow fans. I don’t want to unintentionally get in the way of their outreach, and honestly, I’ve started to feel like I might have been doing that. If that’s the case, I want to make sure I correct it.

So, I’m redirecting my focus to edseldopefan.org, where I’ll continue sharing content and building a space to celebrate Edsel and the band’s music. This site has become an afterthought lately, and it’s time to fix that. I’m really passionate about edseldopefan.org, and I feel like it’s where I can make the most meaningful contributions right now.

It’s been amazing to see how many of you still love Edsel and his music. Hearing that is what makes all this worth it—even in times of uncertainty. I’m not going anywhere, just shifting my focus a bit to make sure this site is the best it can be for you.

Thank you for your continued support, and I’m excited to keep building this community with all of you. Let’s keep the energy going!
