Just got back from Las Vegas. I spent the week there with family. I finally got to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. That was a very enjoyable time. I really liked the music and the actors involved. There certainly were a lot of pyrotechnics involved. There was one blast of about five flames that rocketed about ten feet in the air. I was around fifteen rows from the stage, and I could definitely feel the heat emanating when those "geysers" went off. The presentation is an abridged version of the actual play. It runs under two hours and does not have an intermission.
I also saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in IMAX as well. Great sound! It is my favorite of the Potter series. Of course, it's the only one I saw at the theater, so that may have been a factor. :-) Next up in the movie world is December 17 when Tron: Legacy premiers (in IMAX and 3D!). There was a trailer for it before the IMAX Potter movie, and it looks terrific!
The Tday feast included a "turducken" that was created by my cousin-in-law's gourmet chef brother. Now that was a treat! It's certainly a bit rich, and high in calories, but, boy, was it tasty!
All in all, a week of fun and frivolity. I hope everyone reading this had a great Thanksgiving holiday as well.
