Our "Blue" Weekend

This weekend we had to the opportunity to go see The Blue Man Group live at the Venetian.

All of the shows here in Vegas were 1/2 off this month for locals. We always try to get together with Nick's cousin Jason, and his wife, Claire, at least ONCE a month! Claire heard about this great deal and we couldn't refuse the offer. The Blue Man show was our "monthly get-together activity." :) It was such a FUN night!
Claire told us that she got us 2nd row seats and we were pretty excited about that. We met them and two friends of Claire and Jason's there also. Once we walked towards the front where we would be seated, we noticed that everyone that was sitting in the first couple of rows were wearing plastic covering. It had a hood to protect your head, two holes for your arms, and then covered the rest of your body. I looked at Nick and said "what the heck? We are going to be COVERED in paint aren't we?" Claire was just laughing that she got us 2nd row tickets...real funny! ;) Here's are cool we looked in the 2nd row. ;)

I have to admit that at first I was a little freaked out. I didn't know if the Blue guys were scary or what?! :) I soon found that the show was a comedy. We had a blast and it was very interesting. Here's a clip I found online. It's just from one part of the show.


This next video can get a little long... I understand. BUT... This is what happened to NICK at the show! :) Watch the video clip until you see the part about the throat... TRUST ME!!

The blue man walked up to Nick...all freaky like that and put the camera in his mouth. Then on the screen they showed what the camera saw. This camera showed everything from his mouth to the bottom of his stomach. I of course knew it wasn't real because I was sitting right next to him and knew the camera didn't go past his mouth. The crowd on the other hand, TOTALLY believed it and they were all freaking out believing that the camera had been shoved clear to his stomach. Jason was worried about Nick after wards because the camera showed an ulcer in Nick's stomach. :) LOL!! It was awesome!
At one point in the show, they had TONS of crept paper dropped from the ceiling in the back of the room and it was passed over the tops of everyone's heads until it reached the front row and then was passed onto the stage. It was CRAZY!! There was SOO much paper and it seemed like forever until it was over. Here are some pictures of us after wards.


Here was one of the piles at the front of the stage after the show.

Claire, thanks for thinking about this. We've wanted to see this show but weren't sure we wanted to pay the full price. This 1/2 deal was an awesome opportunity for us. Thanks for taking us!
