I was putting together a photo album of our trip to Vegas. I do plan to put these into a scrap book at some point. Of course, we are not sure when that will happen. So for now I am just going to protect them in an album.This got me to thinking about our trip there and the fact that I haven't really shared anything about it on here. I said I would, and I haven't. So, I guess I will share a bit tonight. We'll call this the first installment.
First and foremost, I think I should tell you about the two shows we went and saw because those were the highlights.
The Blue Man Group:
Totally awesome! I had no idea what to expect, but I was totally blown away. If you ever get the chance to go and see it, you should. It was amazing. They were funny, they were really good musicians and their band ROCKED!! And there are a few surprises to boot.

On a side note: While we were sitting there before the show started, there was this guy with a whole bunch of flowers, two rows in front of us. He started talking to the people behind him about meeting his girlfriend at the show. Then he asked to borrow their cell phone. (He was really weird, okay? Not a good vibe about him at all!!) The people said no and told him there was probably one out in the lobby that he could use.
Well the next thing we know, he is sitting in the empty seat beside me. He starts talking to the lady on his other side. (I was purposely trying to avoid eye contact and was pretending to talk to Jonathan!) Anyway, after a few minutes about talking about his girlfriend coming to meet him, he left. I did reach down, at one point, and grab my purse from under the seat. Just in case!! He was totally working the crowd. I have no idea what his game was, but he did not have tickets around us. The seat he was sitting in was filled with a lady. Overall it was a creepy experience, but the show totally made me forget about it!!
The Phantom:
So we got our tickets online when they were having a sale. We ended up getting 2nd row seats for quite cheap. Let me tell you, those were wonderful seats. I mean, we could see the expressions on the actors' faces. It was so good. And they start by putting the chandelier together and then it comes crashing down (well, almost) on some of the audience at the end. I can't explain it, but it was amazing. I think it is something that you need to experience. The guy that played the Phantom was amazing!! It was a wonderful time (and no creepy flower boys, either!!)
------------------
I am glad that we spent the money on those above two shows. They were well worth it. Even if there was a creep on the lose! Don't worry, though. There were a lot of those around. We were in Vegas, after all....
