    Dixie Chicks and Eagles Tix Now On Sale!



    Not a bad seat, eh?


    For those who didn't read the announcement posted on MSN last week, the Dixie Chicks and the Eagles are preparing to take the stage in October to open the 7,100-seat Nokia Theatre.  I don't know about you, but I'm excited to be in a venue where there won't be a bad seat in the house, since no seat is further than 210 feet from the stage.


    Tickets go on sale today, Monday, Aug. 13, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster and will go on sale Aug. 14 at 10 a.m. PT at Los Angeles' Staples Center and Universal CityWalk's Team LA.


    For those hoping to be there, good luck getting tickets! 


    Update: Oct. 18 and 20 sold out, but they ADDED MORE SHOWS on Oct. 21 and Oct. 24.  So keep trying!

    Update 2: They added yet another two shows on Oct. 26 and 27.  The Chicks inform me that there will be NO additional shows.

    Natalie Keeps On Acting



    Natalie wears the most expensive noose ever made.


    For those who have fantasized about Natalie Maines in a nurse outfit, handcuffing you to your bed, you're one step closer to your dream.


    Natalie has been cast as a prison nurse in the forthcoming independent film Stealing Cars.  Director Michael Skolnik, who helmed Lockdown, USA, will be the one in the unusual position of telling Natalie what to do.


    During the last tour, Natalie was reading multiple scripts during downtime, so it's great to see that she's found a film she supports.


    Natalie is not new to acting.  In the indie film Grand Champion, she played a Texas woman with big hair and blue eye shadow.  On King of the Hill, she voiced a narcissistic woman who tries to seduce her cousin. 


    Ok, fine, maybe those "acting" roles didn't call for much of a stretch.  (Rimshot!)


    In all seriousness, I have every confidence that Natalie's acting skills are sharp.
     


    During the last tour, I remember many nights when she said things like -- "It's good to be in Winnipeg!" -- when I'm pretty sure she didn't think it was actually good to be in Winnipeg.
