• Kevin’s college appearance tour continues with his upcoming appearance at the Indiana University Auditorium, where he will give a “brief speech followed by an extended Q&A session” at 8:00 PM on October the 26th. Kevin usually just walks right out and starts with the Q&A, so if you’re going, that’s what to expect.

Tickets are available starting THIS Monday morning (October 15th) at 10:00 AM, only to students with a valid student ID at the IU Activities Desk. They are FREE! After students have had their shot at the tickets, the remaining seats will be sold to the general public on a yet to be determined date. We know this is bad news for those of you in the area who wanted to attend, but it does seem to be a fair way of doing things. Students should get first shot. We’ll do our best to get the news of public tickets up here ASAP, so if you’re not a student and you want to go, keep watching this site. By the way, students – You need to bring ONE ID for EACH ticket. You can’t buy multiple or even a simple pair of tix on your ID.

An article on the appearance ran in the school’s newspaper. You can read that HERE.
