Check out the full docket below.

Hey, Hollis...are you planning to catch his show at Track 29? If so, the Cinnamon Girl and I are planning on being there, and we should at least say hi...
Haw River Ballroom FTMFW. That's gonna be a stunning show at that venue. I love me some Suf. Hopefully I can score tix when they go on sale but if not I'll just try to go through the label
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
^ yeah, I cried when I saw him last year, too... He's just ridiculously talented (not to mention handsome!), so I'm hoping that "Santa Sufjy" will make me jolly, not swoon-y. Oh, who am I kidding? There will be swooning.

i saw sufjan in 2010 and i cried it was so wonderful.
but the venue they have him at in austin is the pits (not the same one they had him at last time).
His 2010 show in Richmond is the best concert I've ever been to. Literally perfect and so quacking beautiful. I am beyond excited for him doing this tour. Hoping to catch him in either Minneapolis or New York. Bring on the Xmas tunes.
Bought my ticket for Minneapolis last night. My girlfriend got up early this morning to get a ticket for one of the NY shows only to find out they won't be selling them until two days before the concert. As is typical with Sufjan, he's playing venues not appropriate to his level of popularity and a bunch of these shows are selling out super quick. I feel bad for those who won't get to go because this is probably going to be incredible.
Good lord this show was amazing. First time seeing Sufjan and it was fantastic! The whole show has a spectacle vibe to it with the wheel and the stage setup he has and he even dipped into his own stuff like John Wayne Gacy, Jr and of course Chicago. Got to meet him afterwards and he is just the nicest guy. If you have the chance to go, GO!
The show tonight was great, especially the sing-a-longs. During the encore break the crowd spontaneously went from cheering and clapping to singing Silent Night. The way he performs Christmas Unicorn is very silly and ranks among my favorite songs I've seen onstage in a long time. I hope y'all who are going have great experiences with it too.

I got a chance to see Sufjan when I visited Austin a few weeks back, my 3 main takeaways:
1) I am so jealous of everyone who lives in Austin. That city is amazing and I cant wait to go back. 2) Sufjan is extraordinarily talented and a great live performer 3) Christmas Unicorn was magical. One of the better songs I've ever seen live
