Yes, I know this has nothing to do with Peoria. But I’m a fan of Conan O’Brien, and I thought I’d mention that he’s just announced he’ll be taking his act on the road to thirty cities. He’s calling it: “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.” It’s billed as “A night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence.”

You can get tickets at http://teamcoco.com/. Closest date to Peoria: Chicago (of course) on May 19 at the Chicago Theater. Tickets are $39.50, $59.50, and $79.50. I’m going.

UPDATE: The Chicago Tribune is reporting that “sidekick Andy Richter and the former ‘Tonight Show’ band will join O’Brien” for the tour.

UPDATE 2: Conan just announced via Twitter, “We are now adding a second show in both NYC & Chicago. For that second show, I’ll be doing all Liza Minnelli songs.”

UPDATE 3: If you haven’t already gotten tickets, you’re too late. The Chicago Tribune now reports, “Chicago tickets sold out on Ticketmaster.com within a couple hours.” Good thing I had the day off today!
