Blue Man

Yesterday I took Rosie to see the Blue Man Group as her main Birthday present. It meant getting up early (8am which for Rosie is really early), spending 2 hours on the train and crossing London on the tube, which is something Rosie really doesn't like.

After we got to London we took a tube across to St. Paul's cathedral and wandered across the millennium bridge to Tate modern for a quick look round. I really don't understand modern art though, but even I found the Salvado Dali exhibition pretty good.

From there we headed off along the South Bank, past the recreated Globe theatre to a Pizza Express where we had a great meal overlooking the Thames and life in London at lunch time. After we'd eaten we headed off to the Holborn/Covent Garden area, where after we'd got lost and I had to use the Symbian version of Google Maps to find our way, we found the New London theatre and got the tickets.

With some time to spare we ventured into some of the boutiques around Covent Garden including one called All Saints; where you can buy a belt that says "Jesus Loves You" for £50! Finally it was time to get seated, and put on our Pancho's, for the Blue Man group.

I really can't explain what the shows like, if you've seen it you'll know what I mean, if you haven't. Well, either go there NOW (Though it finishes on the 24 June) or buy The Complex Live on DVD and you'll understand. Stand out moment for me was playing them playing The Who on instruments made out of PVC pipe.

After it finished we had mad dash back across London to get our train, and once we were at Victoria we had our random moment of the day; You go 70 miles away from home and what happens? Well, you bump into someone from Church. Yes, yes, we saw Stuart Bellamy.

So, after a further 2 hours back to Littlehampton we rushed to Fred's Fish & Chip shop for much needed chips. Amazingly we still made it Slam on time, and a good time was had by all. And hopefully we'll do something similar in a few weeks to go and see Avenue Q!
