Of course there doesn't.  I was responding to the person who claimed that 
they had cancelled the shows due to slow ticket sales, period.  I simply 
stated that with the schedule as it would have been with the addition of 
HOB/chicago, it would be impossible for them to keep all the dates, as is.  
It seems like when you read my posts, jeff, you always jump on a comment 
without taking the entire post into account.  Notice the big MAYBE I put in 
front of my sentence.  I was simply making a statement to the original author 
that this MIGHT be possible, nothing more.  My belief is that they simply 
couldn't keep all the dates AND do HOB, so they chose to keep the charity gig 
and cancel a couple of shows that weren't even originally in the tour.  I 
just hope they keep Dallas.
