So Yummy! So Yummy!

Hell yeah! Yo Gabba Gabba! Live: There's a Party in My City is about to begin its nationwide tour!

The good news is that it appears that DJ Lance will be part of the tour, and they won't need to find some other skinny tall African-American to don the glasses and orange paramilitary getup.

Fortunately, we haven't been begged by the kids to take them to any live shows yet. Those shows featuring Diego or Dora on ice or doing whatever they're supposedly doing look awful, and I'm not dying to see the Rockettes and Santa at Radio City. Sitting at the Garden or Nassau Coliseum with a bunch of screaming kids and their soul-sucked parents is not my ideal way to kill an afternoon.

However, I would definitely consider going to the Yo Gabba Gabba! show, even if I'd have to endure the hipster-parent element. The TV series probably translates better to live action than those other Nick cartoons because I'm sure the characters will look exactly the same as they do on TV, and there's no weirdness like have a human playing an animated talking backpack.

Plus, on the Yo Gabba Gabba! show, the characters perform as if they're on a stage, anyway, so there's no need to fake swimming through a lake or swinging on vines. It'll probably feel like I'm watching the show, only live. (You can tell I have absolutely no imagination.)

That being said, if they want to do a live Kim Possible or My Life as a Teenage Robot, I'd be all for it, as long as the female lead is old enough that I won't be (too much of) a creep for ogling her during the show.
