List Update - 5/29/2009

More adds denoted in red on the main list. I'll also point out a couple of newsworthy changes/additions. I have added shows at the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma for a few reasons: (1) it's only about 80 miles away from downtown Dallas (and a lot closer if you live north of town) just across the Oklahoma border, (2) they get pretty big name acts that usually won't also play Dallas on the same tour, and (3) the shows are almost always on a Friday or Saturday making them ideal for a weekend trip for some gambling and a show.

Also, the upstairs venue at the House of Blues is back to its original name: the "Cambridge Room." As of Tuesday or so they were no longer calling it the "Pontiac Garage," which was inevitable in light of this news.

OK, so on to the highlights:
That's it for now. Go see some shows!
