No WD or D or E
My concerts are getting lined up already for 2019.
I saw that the Winery Dogs - Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan, Doug Pinnick - are not going to stop in Iowa on their 2019 tour.
For once, I think that it's a good thing a tour is skipping Iowa as I don't think I can add another concert to my docket - there are so many to choose from! In fact, just yesterday, I received this:
Not only do I need to skip Dawes, I need to skip Everclear @ the Riverside Casino on Saturday, January 25, 2019, which is the night before Dawes. Tickets for Everclear are a measly $20. Still, I can't justify skipping Dawes because I don't want to spend more $ on concerts, just to turn around and go to Everclear the night before Dawes. I can't always be certain to use rigid logic when it comes to the choices I make in life, but I know skipping Dawes to go to Everclear makes ZERO sense!

Hi ... would also be interested in Dawes at the Englert? https://englert.org/event/an-evening-with-dawes-2/

That's a couple of days before Bayside - I better not push my luck with going to any more concerts.
After Bayside in Jan, I'm going to Shinedown / Papa Roach / Asking Alexandria on 3/16 in CR.
During the summer, I'm going to Ozzy / Megadeth in Des Moines - spending $150 on that ticket.
Just yesterday, was asked if my wife and I wanted to go see Garth Brooks in Mpls on 5/4 - those tix are ~$90 each...

Book Me
While I welcomed the idea of a new concert venue in the Iowa City area, I hope the person who was quoted in the article I referred to in a previous post - link below - understands how to get their new venue on a tour schedule. Honestly, I do not have any idea how that happens. Consider this tour schedule for Black Veil Brides & Asking Alexandria in 2018. How are those venues chosen? How is it worked out to book all of those gigs? There are 31 dates below so that means fitting into 31 different venues. And why, for example, were the bands booked in St. Louis on 1/15, then Pittsburgh, before going east to Grand Rapids, MI, then Milwaukee, WI, then Chicago, IL, before then heading back to Worchester, MA? Why were they booked in Dallas, TX, and Houston, TX, but not, say, San Antonio, TX, or Austin, TX? Why weren't they booked in Los Angeles, CA? Why didn't they play Salt Lake City, UT, as their first gig, since it's close to Las Vegas, NV?
Again, I have ZERO understanding of all of this and, frankly, I don't even know if the new concert venue was open 'now' if there would have been a way to get a stop on their tour? Who decides whether to play in Iowa or not? Who decides whether to play in Omaha, NE, or not? What about the south? Who decided to not play any dates in Arkansas, Mississippi, or Alabama? Who decided to play no dates in Florida or North Carolina but to play a gig in Virginia?
Again, I have ZERO understanding of all of this.
