Tangled Up in Blue Man Group

The blog's back on track after a brief hiatus due to technical issues, so I've got some catching up to do.  Prepare for a plethora of pics from the past week, starting with a trip to the Charles Playhouse for Blue Man Group, a performance the birthday girl had been clamoring to see since she was old enough to talk.  How'd it turn out?
It got the kiss of approval from Miss Heather.
Before that, though, we need to get in the spirit of things.   For some, it only takes a sign
Or a piece of modern art.
For others, they need to find their happy place
For Andrew, naturally, it's food. So it was time for a pre-birthday dinner at Jacob Wirth's, home of the award-winning clam chowder
And incredible BLT macaroni and cheese.  (Don't knock it until you've tried it.)
On to the theater!
Third row, in the poncho section, which means we were in the line of fire.  In Andrew's case, that meant banana goo right in the middle of his forehead.  Andrew would also get a marshmallow between the eyes.
The birthday girl was all smiles.  Those huge silver balls suspended in the rafters would make their way into the crowd, obviously.
For the finale, the rolls of paper buried us.  Literally.
Somewhere beneath these streams of paper is my beautiful daughter, literally covered by the onslaught
During the show, Heather and Mom's heads were used as handrests for one of the Blue Men.  Afterwards, Mom gets a hug before we leave the theater
 And outside, the stars of the show, only too happy to pose with their cheering fans
 Including this guy, who planted the birthday kiss on Heather, leaving his mark.
Heather called it one of the best days of her life, and as family events go, it was definitely right up there.  If you haven't seen it yet, hustle out and grab some tix, and definitely opt for the poncho section.  You won't leave the theater feeling blue.
