Star Wars in Concert

Going 'waddle' to Star Wars In Concert June 5th with Karlee (my little niece) and my mom who bought the ticket for Karlee for her 6th birthday present. Karlee plans to dress up as Darth Vader. Awesome sauce. I plan to interview her for Anomaly, as she DEFINITELY fits our podcast's definition of "Anomaly".

I went to Star Wars in Concert last night, it was awesome, had a great time. I really enjoyed how Anthony Daniels delivered the story of Star Wars in between the songs, it was much more then I was expecting, and made it all the more interesting. I enjoyed all the music all the way through and the Clips from the movie on the screen behind the stage was fantastic. I was really pumped when they played some music from the Phantom Menace and they showed the Podracing scenes on the screen, later when they played some music from Empire Strikes Back and showed some scenes of the Millenium Falcon in the asteroids, I thought that was really cool. Great experience, so glad I got a chance to see it. Bought a cool Boba Fett T-Shirt as well, with the picture of his helmet made out of musical notes.

Sounds like a good time Jeff. I'm still kicking myself for not seeing this when it came to Michigan.

That's the middle of the week. But Milwaukee is only about 90 minutes away and they have two shows on July 10th (a Saturday). I NEED to go to this! Just need a co-pilot for Hoshi!

GO!!!!!

Well, got back a little bit ago from this show. IT WAS SO AWESOME! Loved every minute! Milwaukee is a nice city and it was an easy ride to get there. Some stuff was set up around the lobby area - mainly costumes, etc. Snapped a fair number of pics with my phone. The music and orchestra was just amazing. I was sitting in like row five, main floor, dead center. Had an awesome seat. Anyway, all SW fans should see this if you can. You will really, really love it! I'll talk more about it on the podcast tomorrow. Here are a few example pics. Go to my Flickr link to see more of this set:

I'm so glad you saw it, Rico. It really was a special event and I never go out of my way to see anything like this.

Yep - me too Bryan. I guess it does help to be near Chicago sometimes. I ALREADY WANT TO GO AGAIN!

Cool Pictures Rico, Happy to hear you really enjoyed it, and got a great seat as well.

This is sort of an encore tour since the whole thing began over a year ago. More dates still coming this summer.

Watching those Videos, makes me wish I could go again. I know nothing really replaces seeing something live, but it would be cool if they released a DVD of the concert someday.
