Ticket info is on the way, but for now Tickets are on sale now; five reasons why this is fantastic news, below.

Critical bias: When I was in college and immediately afterward I saw these guys in 10% of this nation's states. (California, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York.) So, you know, this is pretty exciting.
