| 10.3.23 17:00 |  |  | Friday news dump: While he's taking his first victory lap tonight, one thing you might take comfort from is the knowledge that in the original graphic, still available on Facebook if you know where to look, THREE shows were listed.
The free one at the casino tonight is the one still happening. Sadly, "The Turtle Will Surprise You."
The second one listed for Fargo never seemed to get announced and the venue wouldn't confirm or deny if it had ever had his show booked.
The third one listed for Sioux Falls WAS announced, but the venue was shortly thereafter removed from the "hosts" of the Facebook Event page and today when you click on the link to buy tickets, it takes you to a blank page. It appears to still exist as a Facebook Event merely for optics.
That would make the running total since the allegations two years ago 1 for 5 on shows actually happening, with previously announced gigs for PNA Hall ("rescheduled to a larger venue due to demand" but really silently disappeared) and Reggie's Bar in Chicago (silently disappeared) also not taking place.
Obviously 0 for 5 would be a better outcome, but at least nobody's paid a dime in ticket charges to see him perform yet.
Shows are no longer announced or even mentioned on Twitter - one could speculate that that's because it's harder to control the replies there.
It seems that Joady will keep trying to book gigs for him. I hope the money's worth it.
Let's not forget and let's continue to help venues who may not be unaware who they might be platforming as new shows are announced. |
