I checked the America West Arena website and August 4th is the only available date around that time (assuming she continues to hold the show there).

Anyone want to venture a guess who the special guests may be? Possibly Bonnie Raitt?

Both Tom Petty and Chris Issak are both playing elsewhere on this date. Don is available as the Eagles dont hit the road until the 11th.

Sorry.....I didn't keep their name and number - but, it was a rep. from the AHI.

It was cheaper for me to fly to Vegas--I only paid $174 roundtrip and both were non-stop flights. If I wasn't going back to school, i'd cave and do it. I just think it would be awesome to see her in her city. Very odd that it is on a Thursday--more odd that it's a month away and we haven't heard anything of it as of late.

Not much time to make plans.

I am going to skip the benefit this time. It would be nice to go but unless $1000.00 falls into my lap I won't be going.

Don is actually playing August 3rd in Colorado Springs so he'll have his band together and be a doable amount of distance away. I'm betting he'll be there.

I talked to Geri at the AHI this afternoon. She has no clue at this point who the friends are. She mentioned MAYBE Henley, maybe Isaak, since he and Stevie have the same management. I, of course, asked about Lindsey. But she didn't know anything.

General tickets go on sale this Saturday. Donor packages are still $1000. There will be a meet and greet. The show will be at the Dodge Theatre this time, not the America West Arena. The Dodge seats about 5500, a MUCH smaller venue, but supposedly has a great sound system. I never have seen a show there, so I can't comment on that.

That's pretty much all I know for now. If I hear anything further, I'll let y'all know.

It's a wonderful place to see a show..very intimate and a great sound system. It's much better than America West Arena. I can see why it's there. On such short notice I don't think they'd sell out AWA, but the Dodge will be no problem.

I've been to several AHI benefits and have always had a great time. I might have to shell out the $$$ and get the expensive tickets.

Thanks for the info, glitter. I have heard it was a good place for a show, but I just never quite made it there. I agree she wouldn't sell out AWA, with three weeks to go from the time tickets go on sale to the show.

OMG, what awful timing.

It's happening THE DAY of my dreaded topology final; the very last day of the summer session at NIU. Of course, I'm still trying to figure in my mind whether it would be feasible, LOL.

If I were to fly out as soon as I was done with everything...and I gain an hour or two going to Arizona, if it were a nonstop flight...(does some math in head, LOL). Still, it's pretty pricey and I might not make it, so...it's probably a no-go. Dammit!
