Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, Take II (Shows)

So after my last post I realized how much I had left out from Las Vegas. I know I said I'd only hit on the main points, but dang it, these are some of them.

Alright, so the shows, I have to talk about the shows! We went to three shows and I think that's all we wanted to go to; there was one of the Cirque's we wanted to go to but it just didn't work out with timing. But we still had fun, I think.

The first show we went to was Ka, it's one of the Cirque Du Soleil shows and let me tell you, the show itself was a little slow at times, but the STAGE! Oh my word it is amazing! There was a TV special on it once explaining how it all runs and turns and flips and if you can find that, I highly suggest watching it.

The story is about a boy and girl who are the kids of an emperor who was assinated and the kids were separated. It's their story of how they reunite and grow from kids of play to mature young men and women. I'd go watch the show just for the stage; story is good, but not as good as I was expecting. I really wanted to go see the water one, but maybe next time. I am still thinking of moving there.

The next show we went to was Blue Man Group. AMAZING AMAZING show! It's so funny and these men truly are great musicians... anyone who's hands can move that fast and precise I am a fan of!

After the show we went out to the lobby and got to meet the three guys, I wanted a kiss on the cheek from one of them, so I asked him for a lip print on my cheek, he took his thumb, rubbed it on his head and then thumb-printed my cheek, so I wouldn't give up, I pointed to another area of my face and said, ok, if not there, how about here, no? here? here??? he just kept thumb-printing me! After about 20 dots were on my face I finally was ok, how about a picture that I still need to get from the person who took it, but I hear, 1... 2... 3... and of course on 3 I turned my head to give him a kiss on his cheek! As with every guy, their eyes look out of the corner of their eyes and look down at me as I look at the camera from the corner of my eye. I NEED THAT PICTURE! Since I don't have that one, I will post this one I took of myself, forgive the bare shoulders, I had already taken my t-shirt off and didn't want to get more paint on it. If you were to look closely you'd be able to see yellow lines running all over my face and neck. BMG uses black lights in their show and well, highlighter lights up amazingly well in blacklight. So, we grabbed a yellow one, they tend to fade the best, and drew random things on our faces. When the black lights lit up we saw the faces drop, it was AMAZING! And oh so funny!

The last show we went to was Phantom of the Opera, and I have to say though I throroughly LOVED BMG and it was my favorite to watch, GOING to Phantom was my favorite. We sat in the middle near the front, the company was the best; not a group like the others. And quite honestly, I like getting dressed up for the shows and this was just the cherry on top of my sundae!

The Phantom was a bit of an over-actor, but he was still good and the movie ruined the show for me, but it was still good. I plan to take Stephani for her bday in a couple weeks and I can't wait. Though there is nothing like going to the show for the first time and with the people I did it was AWESOME!

Where in the World is Sara D. Ray? Well, now you know.
