The time I went to Star Wars in concert

 

As I announced months ago, for Father’s Day this year I bought the hubs tickets to Star wars in concert.
And because I’m super cool like that I forked out extra cash to get VIP tickets. If you are thinking about going to the show, I definitely suggest going with the VIP tickets. Not only do you get kick ass seats (6th row!) You get a free merchandise item (we got some blankets) but you also get early admission to the exhibit.  We enjoyed being able to take pictures with all the props before it got too crowded. I even got my picture taken with my boy Yoda.

 

 I’ve never done good in crowds, so having access to the exhibits with out the huge crowds was worth the extra money.  Although when they let the masses in, it was fun to watch the folks that came in full costume.  Scotty got a little nervous before we left the house, worried that he’d look like a dork if he wore his Empire Strikes Back T-shirt. I assured him that he’d be fine considering that this was a Star Wars event, and that there were surely to be bigger dorks that him present. 
The show itself was spectacular too, hosted by 3-CPO himself. The music was played by a live orchestra, who were amazing! There were huge screens set up behind the orchestra, playing scenes from all 6 movies that were in sync to the music. Combined with the laser light show we were totally and completely immersed in the show.  For geeks like us, it was one of the best live shows we’ve ever seen. and I seriously recommend that if you have the chance you should go too, whether you’re a fan or not. I promise you it will blow your mind!

 

 

I should point out, just in case anyones wondering, I didn’t get paid in any sort of way to write this post.In fact I spent a lot of moolah on our tickets.  We were just that impressed.
