Van Halen must play Texas

Lisa Carrillo commented on one of my previous Van Halen tour posts. That was the one where I mentioned Diamond David Lee Roth is back in the band but they are not coming to Texas...at all. At least not at this writing.

Her comment chronicles an email exchange she had with the Van-Halen.com webmaster:

ME:
The tour doesn't include Houston???? I've seen you three times here before. My sons, aged 16, 15, and 13, are now fans and couldn't wait to finally see Van Halen in person. I'm crushed and so are they.

What's the deal???

Hi Lisa, and thanks for your email!

Right now, these are the only VH dates we have. If and when more are
scheduled, we will post them to the tour page at
http://www.van-halen.com/tour.html so keep checking back.

Just a thought...CANADA before Texas? C'mon. You've got two venues in much smaller states when you've got the choice of Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio? I'll keep checking back, but seriously...ya need to reconsider!

I couldn't agree more. Those Van Halen bastards brothers need to stop erasing Michael Anthony from the band's past and start playing at least a Houston and Dallas show. They should also play San Antonio, Austin and El Paso too. Look into my eyes, Eddie Van Halen, you WILL PLAY HOUSTON.
