Here is the stage for Blues Clues Live
Well, last week I went from one night going to Green Day Live to two days later going to Blues Clues Live. What a diverse individual I am. Well I can tell you the age group between the two shows is not THAT far off. On of McKenna's birthday presents was tickets to go and see Blues Clues Live, or, Blues Clues Alive as she calls it. She counted down the sleeps to the show. She was about as geeked as a little girl can be about seeing a stuffed mascot replica of the cartoon that she sees on the TV. Mom and Dad were happy to see her excited but a bit worried about how much this was going to cost them because they heard a parent talk about seeing the Wiggles live the month before (sold out show, go figure) and how it was one booth after the next as soon as you walk in. Selling everything from glow sticks to CD's. Adam Cook said he dropped over a hundred bones before he even found his seats. They really know how to get you. Sell to the kid, the kid throws a "I want it" at you and to avoid the scene the cash is out of your pockets.
Above is McKenna running into Rexall Place for the show. As you can tell she was pretty excited to be there. To my suprise when we got inside there was not much to buy. On a side note Donna and I had a bet as to what would happen first. McKenna asking for something or Me offering her something. I was determined to win this bet. So as we walked in I slowly walked McKenna past the concessions booth. She did not even blink. No asks or anything. I was really suprised. I had my work cut out for me. All they were selling was $20 Happy Birthday Blue t-shirts and $10 stuffed Blue dolls. McKenna saw someone with popcorn and she requested some, so we obliged. Food did not count in the bet. We then went to find our seats.
My girls waiting paitently for the show to start. I ordered the tickets back last year. When I ordered the guy told me that there were no floor seats left. So I bought up high as you can see in the pic up at the top. Well either scalpers had all the tickets or the guy was lying to me because there were about half of the seats open. The seats we had were the same price as the floor. $45 cdn a piece. We had three. I really love my kid.
McKenna loves Blue. Notice all the empty seats over her shoulder
Complimentary "Handy Dandy Notebooks" that were handed to all the kids who entered.
Joe and all the gang singing and dancing on stage. McKenna sang and played along and had a great time. By the way the guy in the Perriwinkle suit (second from right) really creeped me and Donna out with his obvious, how can say this, errrrr, area. I really think for my sake and the kids sake they should cast this character as a girl. Next.
Well I think I had a really good rant about this show that I ran at Trev that same day and it was funny but since McKenna had such a good time at the show I will not put it here. If you want me to drop the rant, send me a note and I will consider it. If you know the show Blues Clues you will laugh your ass off. Otherwise, I lost the bet. I did not offer her any junk but she never asked for it so I guess we are doing something right.
Have a good day and GET BACK TO WORK!!!!
