Why you should see Pavement, and a response to Matador
Matador Records and I had a short, funny online back-and-forth today after the label called me out while announcing that Pavement will perform June 24 at the Bob Hope Theatre.

In 2008, the students hosted Talib Kweli and sold out Faye Spanos Concert Hall on campus. On March 20, ASUoP will be [...]
Gabriel Iglesias, StocktonTickets.com, X Fest and downtown Stockton events
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Gabriel Iglesias’ show Saturday at the Bob Hope Theatre is sold out. (Photo at right by Lencho Guerra.)
