This news is hot off the digital presses. I just refreshed my inbox and found this little gem:

Blue Man Group Hits The Road

We’re thrilled to announce that Blue Man Group is going back on the road this fall. Following up the critically acclaimed Complex Rock Tour which rolled through the United States and Canada in 2003, the How to be a Megastar Tour 2.0 kicks off in Reading, Pennsylvania on September 26th. Expanding on the "Rock Concert Manual" concept from The Complex Rock Tour, this time around, the Blue Men download a new "how-to-manual" that takes the audience through a uniquely clever and interactive show that guarantees to deliver hypnotic entertainment for all ages.

Tour dates and locations can be found here. I have spent at least a couple of hours trying to post the tour dates in this entry and it's just not happening people. I don't know if it's an issue with the way Blogger displays tables or what. All I know is that it creates about a page and a half of nothing before it shows the table. I've tried everything I can think of with the HTML and it just isn't working...so a link will have to do.

Anyway, my wife and I saw Blue Man Group in Chicago several years ago and were blown away. Their stage show is unlike anything I've ever witnessed. It was a synthesis of sights and sounds that is beyond description. The experience was tribal in nature. You really felt like you were plugged in to what was happening. Needless to say, it was fantastic and truly original in every sense of the word. Fast forward a couple of years and BMG is out on "The Complex Rock Tour". There were limited venues though and I ended up missing that show. Thank goodness for DVD. The performance was like their stage show made portable and fine-tuned for a mainstream audience. It went beyond being a simple concert yet remained accessible to the general populace. Of course, I am bias though.
