Dinos big hit

Wow, the Walking With Dinosaurs show that recently left the Resch Center was a "huge" hit. Nearly 24,000 people attended the show. I got a chance to see it in Milwaukee before it got here and there was nothing cheesy about the 15 life-sized dinosaurs. They truly looked real!

About 40 people got a behind-the-scenes tour after a couple of the shows. They were winners of a contest. They learned that each dinosaur was worth a million dollars. And an interesting story on the dino eyes were constructed. To make a long story short, the idea for the eyes came from the old black 8 ball we all played with as kids....the ones that gave you your fortune. They also used the tin foil material used to wrap Hershey's kisses. All in all, pretty cool!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets are going like wildfire and Larry the Cable Guy is pretty strong out of the gate. Don't wait! Git r tickets!
