Lights, Camera, Action! Wiggles!

This past weekend we saw The Wiggles in concert! It was soo fun even though Greg wasn't there. Before I share my pictures, i just wanna say that i've been to a lot of punk, hip-hop, and reggae concerts in the past, and this concert was one of the more rowdy ones i've been to. It was partly the kids, but mostly.... it was the adults! There were adults shoving each other, especially when it came time to give roses to Dorothy the dinosaur or a bone to Wags the dog.
Also, i want to explain that the pictures i took are not the best. In fact, they suck. But it's not my fault! I had a crazy toddler hitting me from behind and there's a 1 second delay when taking pictures with a digital camera. I used a flash, but apparently, it doesn't matter when your in a theatre.
I know it sounds like i'm bitching and moaning, but honestly..... IT WAS A GREAT CONCERT!!!! Marley liked the show but she was shy to dance, and i think all the people were overwhelming her. I have to say that i had fun and i'm a little ashamed to admit that i was even star struck. To see Murray play guitar LIVE was awesome! And it was funny cause Manny looked over at me in the middle of the performance and said "This concert was for you huh, not Lee-lai." Whatever sir, i saw him all gitty in his seat when Benny (the cheerleader dancer) came out on stage. So anyway! Here are the pictures!




Here's the view we had from our seats. It was smack in the middle!

"Toot-toot, chugga-chugga, Big Red Car.. we travel near and we travel far.."

note: if you read one of my earlier blog posts, i wanna let you know that i was right. The part when they sing "Sam is doing the driving, singing "Scooby doo wa" DID sound wrong! Sorry Sam, it wasn't the same for me.

Here is the back of Murray's head. This is what i was talking about when i said that the digital has a 1 second delay. It makes the difference between getting a shot of some one's face and getting a shot of the back of some one's head.

Here are some shots of Captain Feather Sword. I forgot to mention that the madness was so bad, that every time a character went into the audience, 2 security guards had to follow them to make sure they got around okay.


Here's a picture of them performing one of our favorite songs "Fruit Salad".
side note made on 3/14/07: I just got off the phone with Bina (she went to see The Wiggles yesterday with Gani and Lupita), and she has a totally different experience than it did. Keep a look out on her blog for her story!!!

I flippin' LOVE THE WIGGLES!!! Oh yeah, and Katrina does too. But I thought it was a little too early for her to go to a concert. On ther other hand, it would have been great for me!

I'm still so bummed about Greg though. Sorry, Sam - you may be a good singer and all but you'll never replace my favortite Wiggle!

Well, now I feel like the horrible mommy who didn't even think to take my kid to the wiggles concert. Oh my God that cracks me up that they needed security guards in the audience. What did they think was going to happen? A bunch of 2 year olds were going to bite their knees? Baha
