Weekend update

Wow! What a weekend. My mom and I flew to St. Louis and my sister Kara picked us up at the airport. We stopped by the Golden Corral for a bite of everything and got ready for a night out with, the one and only, LIZA MINNELLI.
We pulled up to the theater, for which this performance marked the opening of, to see something kind of like this pull up.
It was blue and really really old and they valet parked.
And then, as we're sitting there thinking, who drives that kind of car (the windows were rolled down so we figure no airconditioning)....and then we see something like this


get out of the car on our side and a female version get out on the passenger's side.





We entered the building and enjoyed a nice reception with some snacks - my favorite was the pickled asparagus.
We were under the impression that we had seats front row, center stage. We were afraid that they would be obstructed view or something, we had only purchased the tickets a few days before the show.

Well, we walked in, and just kept walking! Right up to the front row, center stage! And the seats weren't even too close. It was fabulous, except we were sitting next to, none other than the troll couple (an extra seat luckily provided a buffer zone).

Liza was fabulous. Other than the fact that she was a little under the weather and coughed a lot during the first half. Despite this, you just wanted to love her and take her home with you. She even waved directly at my mom! Words can't express how exhilarating the show was.
She looked a little something like this. She wore lots of sequins and man are her legs skinny!!
I love you Liza!!!!
