First off, an introduction is in order- My name is Bennett Stein. I’m a second year undergraduate student from Ann Arbor. I’ll be writing on this here blog with some type of regularity. I do encourage you to comment on the posts (“Oh man, Bennett, you’re so full of it.” or “Oh man, Bennett, you’re so god damn handsome” or “Meh, Bennett, you’re pretty so-so”), or, in addition, feel free to email me at bstei@umich.edu. Finally, tune in to No Shirt, No Radio every Wednesday night from midnight-1:30am on WCBN (88.3 or live stream) where I will continue to spin the funky and the weird every week.
However, the real deal is that Robin Williams is finally performing at Hill Auditorium this Friday night, October 30. Scheduled to perform here on March 28, Williams was out of commission for the past six months after a surgery to replace his aortic valve, repair his mitral valve, and correct his irregular heartbeat. 
We know Robin Williams mostly from his extensive cinematic career that includes an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Good Will Hunting- one of his least funny roles- as well as outstanding performances in classics such as Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire and many others. But, he has also found great success as a stand up comedian. In 2004, Comedy Central named him 13th on the list of “100 Greatest Stand Up Comedians of All Time”.
Williams is back- he grew up in the Detroit burbs – and healthy and should rock a packed Hill Auditorium. Ticket prices are steep but there’s no better working comedian out there these days (broken link, updated!). Find a cracked window-get into Hill this Friday evening.

Bennet! Nice to meet you. The tickets link on your preview doesn’t work, can you possibly edit it so that we can buy tickets to this amazing event?
Just updated-thanks for the heads up, Danny. However, because it is the day of the event, you will have to call the Michigan Union Ticket Office (734-763-TKTS) or try to get them at the Hill Auditorium Box Office before the show.
