While we were in Chicago visiting my relatives for Christmas, we went (with my best friend Gary and his wife Teri) to see Blue Man Group.  If you've never heard of them, you're missing out!  They put on a rather bizarre, but very entertaining and quite comical performance.  There's a lot of music (especially percussion), much of it by using PVC pipe in ways you would never imagine, and there's a lot of...well...you'll just have to go see them to find out.  They are in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and San Francisco, and I think one team occasionaly tours.

Of course, you're not allowed to take pictures during the performance, so I don't have any, but here's a few of the theater's entrance and a couple of the Blue Men after the performance...taken with my phone's camera since I forgot to grab my "real" one from trunk of the car...

	WORD OF WARNING: If you do go to see them in Chicago, do not give in to temptation by parking in the shopping mall lot directly across the street.  Seriously.
	This is what you see as you walk in.  Lots of tubing and blue lighting.
	Here's more of the tubing all over the ceiling.
	After the show, the guys come out so you can get pictures taken with them...
	...like these people did.  I was waiting and waiting for Cheryl to come out of the restroom so I could get a picture of her with one of them, but they went back in to get ready for the next show before she came out of the restroom!  I have no idea why I didn't think to just get one of ME with them!  Duh! Oh, and no, that isn't a face in the globe thingy at the left.  It's actually a rotating lawn sprinkler.
	Gary & Terri waiting with me for Cheryl to come out.
	I also recommend checking out their web site, and if you have a spare $10, I highly recommend the DVD of their "Complex Rock Concert Tour".
