First, some housekeeping. The August 28 concert in Memorial Hall, Kansas City, KS, has switched venues and moved across the state border. The new venue is Uptown Theatre, in Kansas City, MO.

Venue Change: August 28 – Kansas City, MO – Uptown Theatre

And now for the two new dates:

September 20 – New York City – Beacon Theater
October 17 – Albuquerque, NM – Santa Ana Star Center

Hmm, I wonder if he’ll do that really long song from Running With Scissors at the NM concert? What’s it called again?

From NBC San Diego.com:  San Diego gets the Weird Al Treatment
In the interview, Al talks about what he does before each concert, how great his fans are, people he’s worked with, etc…

Are there any more plans for future T.V. shows or sequences like “AL-TV” or “The Weird Al Show”? Do you have any more plans for directing?
“Weird Al”: Historically, I’ve only done AL-TV (on MTV or VH-1) when I’ve got a new album to promote. I’d love to do more directing when I’ve got the time, and I’ve been pitching some TV and feature film ideas around town lately, so we’ll see if anything comes of that.

Ooh, sounds interesting.  Perhaps one day!

Rumors are that Steve Cochran on Chicago’s WGN radio is interviewing Al this afternoon at 5:38pm Central Daylight Time. Aww, but maybe you don’t live in Chicago, and you’re thinking “Wow, this would be great, but how am I supposed to listen to it?” Well, WGN is one of the largest AM radio stations around, and it can be heard in MANY MANY states on 720AM. Oh, that’s not good enough for you? Ok then. You can just go over to WGNRadio.com and listen online, provided you have realplayer installed and a computer…which if you are reading this, you are either a time traveler from the past who has come to the future searching for bacon flavored ice cream (sorry, go forward another 30 years) or you already have a computer. Tell your friends and tune in!

Over the past couple of days, three new tour dates have been confirmed! Hooray!

August 26 – Des Moines, IA – Hoyt Sherman Theater
September 18 – Harrisburg, PA – The Forum
October 20 – Los Angeles, CA – Greek Theatre
