But do TMR really have 0 releases or events at any of their locations for the Record Store Day this year?

No historically TMR has been the Gold Standard of amazing RSD events / releases. A brief look down memory lane:
2010 - Racontwoers live at TMR, and 2 of the original soap box carts were given away to attendees.
2011 - Jerry Lee Lewis Live Concert on TMR parking lot
2012 - Liquid Filled Record
2013 - Debut of TMR recording booth to make your own record. Pop Up Gold Motel show/release.
2014 - Worlds Fastest Record
2015 - Elvis Acetate release & Live recording on the blue room stage.
2016 - Muppets 7" & bands at both Detroit & Nashville
2017 - Blue Series Book & Bob Seager 7"
2018 - 3 Records released, bands at both stores, and Rolling Record Store pop up tour.
2019 - Ichonophone returns!
2020 - Billie Eillish live LP
2021 -....pretty dead due to a full year of covid. Bobo Jenkins LP and thats it.
2022..............Secret Taylor Swift show?

This is a great list, thanks for pointing all of that out. You do have a point, I wonder if perhaps they were bogged down logistically with Fear of the Dawn / Entering Heaven alive, and the 10 month waiting list to press their own records in masse?

They have their own plant....if they wanted to press something they could have it ready in 24 hours.

The runs of each release are much larger, the releases themselves are far less niche and they've diluted the uniqueness of the day by having multiple Record Store Day events throughout the year.
