Yo Gabba Gabba: There is a party in your city kick off!

Yo Gabba Gabba: There is a party in your city kick off!

I’ll start with last thing first (mainly I’m waiting on a few things before I can do a full post on the Huggies Jean Diapers events (awesome coupons for you my readers & an laugh out loud video promotion).

If you’ve been asleep at the wheel the tour was announced yesterday with a ton of fanfare, hopefully you’ve seen some of it from DaDa Rocks.  The 60 city tour has a partnership with Habitat for Humanity where $1 from every ticket sold will be donated (that’s a lot of tickets).

The Dance Party was great! It was packed and crazy and it was a PARTY!  Kids from all over to have their pictures taken with the Yo Gabba Gabba gang and give hi-fives.

Of course if you watch as much of the show as the kids do you’ll have a bound to the characters and to the show. I know I certainly do…  American Express presale started today. Next up will be Yo Gabba Gabba Mailing List Presale/Code word presales then general ticket sales – my money is it sells out most stops!

I was able to Marc to the first round of live shows in New York and he sat there the entire time in complete amazement! I’m hoping for similar results this time around!

Today’s highlight by far was the following video….
