Can I Just Vent?
Allen Stone is my favorite singer. When my favorite singer starts a new project, I am usually super excited. So when he announced Radius, I was absolutely ecstatic.
I want to preface this next part by saying that I have been to see Allen Stone three out of the four times that he's been to Houston. That means I have seen him play a setlist from 'Allen Stone' 3 times with some variations. When he left us out of his tour last year, I was a little hurt, but I didn't mind so much because he came back and did a minor real estate festival. It wasn't very well promoted, but a lot of people showed up for Allen.
So imagine my shock when this man announces a new tour for a new album, and none of those stops are Houston? What did we do that Allen has decided to forsake the Bayou City? Can someone please let me know? Like, is there a number I can call to fix this?
I'm just so hurt right now. He is literally about to do two tours back to back (with Bryn Elliot) and none of these dates are for Houston, Texas. I don't want to go to Austin or Dallas to see Allen Stone. I want to go to a nice little place in Houston, and enjoy the moment with close friends. And no one can tell me that Allen can't sell out in Houston; Houston loves the fuck out of Allen Stone.
I just don't understand. It's bad enough "Love", "Voodoo" and "Million" aren't on this album, but you can't come to my city, either? And I can't get too mad because there are probably fans in smaller cities or states that are NEVER on the list for tour dates. Still, my city is big enough and important enough, so why aren't we a stop?
(sigh) I'll get over it . . . but releasing "Love" and "Voodoo" as singles, or on a mixtape, would help me get over it so much faster. XP
