    Is There Enough Money and Talent in D-FW to Support All These Midsize Concert Venues?

    Is there enough money and talent in D-FW to support all these midsize concert venues? Mar. 5, 2018 6:00am With the recent openings of Canton Hall and the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, Dallas-Fort Worth is now officially saturated with midsize concert venues, many of them competing for the same shows. But is this boom in midsize venues a boon for pop and rock lovers? Or is the competition driving up ticket prices and making life more difficult for independent promoters? The answer is "all of the above." Midsize venues are bigger than nightclubs and smaller than sports arenas, and hold between 1,000 and 8,000 fans — a spectrum that includes more than 15 places in D-FW ranging from oversize honky-tonks like Billy Bob's Texas to fancy joints like the Majestic Theatre and the Winspear Opera House. Several new midsize spaces have popped up in recent years, including Gas Monkey Live and the revamped Bomb Factory, as well as Canton Hall in Deep Ellum and Toyota Music Factory in Irving, which holds up to 4,000 for indoor shows and 8,000 for outdoor concerts. (See accompanying list.) On the one hand, the more, the merrier, says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert industry publication Pollstar. "It's nice to be blessed with those kind of riches in your market. ... It gives fans more of a choice," he says. of venues can put a dent in the wallets of concertgoers. "In the concert business, competition between promoters tends to drive prices up," he says.

    Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County by Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker San Antonio, Texas March 2018 i i Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County By Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker Published by Paso de la Conquista San Antonio, Texas Mar. 2018 i Library of Congress Control Number: 2018934169 Published: Feb, 2018 San Antonio, Texas Copyright Pending. Outside Cover of Mission San José: public domain ii Introduction In 2015, San Antonio’s Tricentennial Commission created the opportunity for the citizens of San Antonio to rediscover their shared cultural heritage, history and to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of our beloved City in 1718. Collaboratives were formed with public institutions to further develop presentations commemorating our City’s history. Many months were spent on these projects and in the year 2018, they will be presented to the public in open venues. An out-come of this year’s celebration is this publication, “Tricentennial Chronology and The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County”. The last published chronology of San Antonio was in 1950 by Edward Hunsinger. For this new study, approximately 1½ years was spent developing additional details and entries of events in San Antonio’s 300-year history. Other chronologies were studied, books were referenced and honored historians were consulted. Every attempt was made to edit and re-edit the many editions of the chronology until this latest edition is being published.

    Dallas Arts and Cultural Community

    FROM THE DALLAS ARTS AND CULTURAL COMMUNITY July 24, 2020 (updated list as of July 27, 2020) The Honorable John Cornyn United States Senate 517 Hart Senate Office Bldg. Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Cornyn, Thank you for all you have done to address the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic and fiscal crisis that it has created. Congress’ swift action on the first relief bills have stabilized our economy and provided relief to businesses and households. And the Dallas arts, cultural and live entertainment community wants to extend special thanks to you for your co-authorship of the Save Our Stages Act. As you know from your long and deep engagement across Texas, its cities - of all sizes - contain a diverse and vibrant range of live performing arts and entertainment venues. From the rowdy live music stages of Austin to the jewel box of the Meyerson Symphony Center, home to the Dallas Symphony, these venues support billions of dollars annually in economic impact, millions of jobs and spur our state’s robust tourism and hospitality industry. Our business models are built on bringing people together in one space, to collectively enjoy a live performance experience. All of that has been turned on its head by COVID-19. Live music and performing arts venues were among the first to be closed during the COVID-19 crisis and will be some of the last to return to full operations. Here in Dallas, our stages have been closed since mid-March, with no earned revenue from ticket sales, ancillaries, fees, parking, sponsorships, and more.

    August 19, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Anthony Rendon Speaker, California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Reggie Jones-Sawyer, Sr. Chair, Assembly Public Safety Committee State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Ken Cooley Chair, Assembly Rules Committee State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: SB 731 (Bradford), SB 776 (Skinner) Dear Governor Newsom, Speaker Rendon, Assembly Member Jones-Sawyer, and Assembly Member Cooley, Occasionally, we are presented with an opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of millions. It may have taken the glare of a national spotlight to bring us to the threshold of change regarding abuse and injustice within law enforcement, but the moment is here. On behalf of all of us in the music and entertainment communities, we are asking you to seize that moment by passing Senate Bill 731 and Senate Bill 776. While the killing of George Floyd inspired sustained outrage, protests, and reporting, the people of California have long understood the need to properly address the actions and accountability of police. For too long, courts have undermined the intent of the State’s laws, allowing bad police officers to violate the rights of those they are meant to protect. In addition, a lack of transparency and a deficient recordation system has shielded officers who abuse their authority and tarnish the integrity of California’s law enforcement. We can fix this. SB 776 will establish the transparency and reporting needed to ensure that officers who engage in wrongful activity are removed – and kept – from these valued law enforcement positions.
