Let me explain....our good friends John and Sara Voorhees invited Don Pocock and Alex and I to attend the Broadway performance of The Lion King with them at Gammage theater. Yay...."of course" I said....however...money is tight so lets jsut get the cheap seats. No big deal....there really is not a bad seat at Gammage. Well our Sara, who handled the seating arrangements, really came through. We sat in the cheap seats...the very cheapest I'm sure....the very back row. By the time we got up to them Sara was having heart palpitations and my nose was bleeding. But we are at the Gammage after all, so we held our heads up and marched right up to our seats. Whew....what a climb. Ok...so i'm exaggerating....it was great. We enjoyed it very much....you know, the mind of extremely creative people is an amazing thing. We went to dinner first in Tempe at a little place called La Bocca...yummy...great italian restaurant...the pizza is wonderful...oh and the Bruschettas before dinner are amazing. Anyhow....word to the wise...don't park under the trees on mill ave. We could hardly see out the window through all the bird poop when we came out of the restaurant.
Here are a few pictures...apparently Disney doesn't allow cameras and some 14 year old kid that worked at Gammage was on his way to stop me from the crime of photographing myself and my friends so i snapped a few and quickly put it away. For crying out loud...I think the people in the back row should have some fun...I mean come on...this was our view of the stage....
it's the black nothingness in the background....just kidding....this is why taking photos at concerts with a flash you only get the people sitting in front of you in your picture. I wasn't about to carry my pro camera up those steps...i may never have made it. :)
Sara and I relaxing after our workout....
John and Don comparing golf scores.....
Apparently alex didn't like the flash either....
See the lady in the sequined blouse with her bra strap showing...she reeked of cigarettes...ugh...and guess what she did for intermission...yep...went out and came back reeking some more...Smokers...why don't they get it....it stinks...it stinks bad.

Meghan and I went also! Wasn't it incredible??? I think I have found something I like to do besides sports...Broadway shows!
Wow, Lion King?!?! I hear it's awesome! I love your post about it! Soooooooo how was the actual show? Or were you too far away from the stage and the only show was the sparkly-stinky-bra-strap lady?
Cindy, you are just the best! We need to get together sometime SOON! We're letting too much good weather go to waste. By 'we' I mean Tom and me. I'm sure you guys never let good weather go to waste. ;)
