I just checked all the arenas schedules. I have to say that the Orpheum has a promoter that is the hardest working guy in town. He is bringing some top-of-the-line performers from David Blaine to William Shatner and now Rodney Carrington. The other venues in town should take notice.


The 2006 film Idiocracy is a prophecy about the Trump Administration, the GOP-controlled Congress and the mentality of our society.
