Tabernacle Update
For those wondering when/if the Tabernacle will be open for shows again -- it was pretty roughed up by the tornado -- here's an update from today's paper:

Tabernacle eyes a May reopening

The Tabernacle, the 98-year-old downtown church-turned-concert venue, is looking at a May reopening after being damaged in the tornado.

Peter Conlon of Live Nation, which operates the Tabernacle, said Friday that the building is structurally sound. The concert hall underwent inspections and tests this week.

Among parts of the building that will have to be replaced are some of the stained-glass windows, which blew out in the tornado. They'll get new ones, Conlon said.

"We want it to be as nice, if not nicer, when we reopen it," he said.


The building suffered damage to the roof and lost several large stained glass windows, plus a lot of smaller windows. And the sign across the front.

Actually, that WAS the entire article. It was part of a general news round up, here:

Yeah, the last one I saw was back in 2004, I believe. It was amazing.
