Any idea as to what shows are most affected?  
I'd heard it could be mainly the hiphop/r&b/rap,etc. gigs,  
along with some others too. Also, the times are just  
generally tense all over, even in a gas station or _McDonalds_ 
(http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_ouc7WFzvro)  . (ruff  video). 
It shouldn't affect this week's show, tho'.

This for L.A. folks and what not, but I just heard this last night. But I  do 
not think it will affect upcoming shows.

WeHo House Of Blues' Future In Trouble
WEST HOLLYWOOD The  West Hollywood City Council Monday discussed the 
possibility of revoking or  suspending the House of Blues' business license because of 
a series of violent  incidents and management's failure to address them. 


>From September  2007 to September 2008, events at the House of Blues have led 

to 44 arrests,  including for fights, drunken and disorderly behavior and 
grand theft, more  than doubling the arrests for the same period in 2006 to 2007, 
according to  Councilman John Heilman. 

There have been more than 100 sheriff's radio  dispatches in the past year to 
the club at 8430 Sunset Blvd.  

"Unfortunately, for the last several years, the House of Blues has had  a 
history of serious problems and an unwillingness to address these problems,"  
said Heilman, who introduced the motion to begin proceedings to revoke or  
suspend the club's license. 

"After each serious incident, there is a  perfunctory apology and a promise 
to reform, but the problems persist and have  escalated." 

The club's general manager spoke at Monday's council  meeting, pointing out 
the club's high revenues for the city and ability to  draw some 300,000 
visitors each year. But he did not address the history of  problems that have 
occurred at the venue. 

Heilman's fellow council  members also expressed unhappiness at the meeting 
over the club's failure to  fix the growing problems, which have caused 
distractions and inconvenience to  residents and businesses nearby. 

On Sept. 4, more than 100 people were  involved in fights both inside and 
outside the club. Sheriff's deputies  required assistance by officers from 
the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills  police departments to keep crowds under 
control. 

Authorities arrested  several people that night on outstanding warrants, 
battery and drunkenness,  and one woman was hospitalized. 

Helicopter units monitored the area  from above until 1 a.m. while a stretch 
of Sunset Boulevard remained closed  for several hours. 

Because of the closure, several nearby businesses  lost customers and were 
not able to to return vehicles to their customers  already at their 
establishments, Heilman said.
