Another Evening at Disneyland Resort

So last night on a spur of the moment the boyfriend wanted to go to Disneyland. Now I will never turn down a chance to go to the park, even though my feet were a little sore from my heels. So off we went for a night at Disneyland. I really wanted to go on Indiana Jones since they just updated it. In my opinion now you can understand it less.. but I don't know maybe that's just me. We also went on Star Tours and got the 2nd of 4 different scenarios. I had no idea that was something that it did. I guess I missed the memo.

We also saw Stellar perform over at the Tomorrowland Terrace. I think it's really smart that they added in the bands. It gives the adults something to do.

We went on Buzz Lightyear and for the first time the boyfriend beat me.. LOL.

Overall I had a wonderful time and wanted to share pictures with you. I have some disney themed giveaways coming.

Jedi Elvis Benefit Concert

This last weekend. I had the greatest of pleasures of attending a benefit for the victims of Oklahoma Tornados, put on Jedi Elvis and the Red Cross at the Covina Performing Arts Center. I am friends with Jedi Elvis, funny story, he and I performed together on that very stage 13 years before in the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat.

I wore my Slave Leia star wars dress, so glad to have a chance to wear it out for a day. I have so many geeky outfits that I hae been aquiring. I am doing a lot of Charity things, and more as I come across organizations I want to work with.

This wonderful event for me not only was a great chance at helping others, but I made quite a few friends at the event and I am thankful for the chance to find more people in the communities that I love that are friendly, helpful and full of the desire to help each other. You might even see pictures of them at other events since we are making more plans to spend time together.

The event had 3 acts. Al'coustic, a Weird Al performer, he was quite good and very funny. He was enjoyable to watch. I like listening to Weird Al songs so it was a fun time for all. You can find him here.

The next band was Apartment 14. They were a cute group. I liked the song they wrote about Vampires and Werewolves. Here is there facebook page. Please look them up. They are worth listening to.

Raffle tickets were sold and there was a Silent Auction. I donated a giftbag of makeup worth about $150 to the silent auction. I bought 20 raffle tickets, and gave them out to people when the numbers got called, I didn't really need raffle prizes, I took some things home to my roommates and boyfriend and got a WonderWoman comic for research reasons, since a few know she is one of the costumes that I am in the process of working on.

There were lots of fun, in chance raffles. Lots of fun items were given out. Heroes season 1, a Squirel Deadpool, Thor's Hammer (which is living in my room at this time) and so much more. Even a signed copy of a Huey Lewis CD.

Great times were had by all and Jedi Elvis was the main act, who brought down the stage. He is such a wonderful entertainer and a great man. The life in the theatre was so amped up and enjoyable. Jedi Elvis parodies Elvis songs and makes them Star Wars related. I loved the choices he made.

Check out Jedi Elvis on these platforms and go to youtube and listen to these 3 performing groups. They were all delightful. I am so happy to have been a part of the benefit.

Flashdance The Musical touring now

I was given tickets to see Flashdance last night by the theatre, I was overly excited. I love 80's outfits and 80's music and 80's movies. I was born in the 80's so I missed all of the fun. This is the 30th anniversary of the movie Flashdance.

Now Flashdance is a show about a steel town girl with a passion for dance. It is based off the movie. There is a lot of dance in this show. I really enjoyed that, being a dancer myself. I will be in dance classes again this coming month. I am beyond excited.

The show is now on its first national tour. It will be on it's way to Broadway at some point. I hope it does hit the big stage because it is full of life, passion and the desire for a life that is better then what we all have.

You will recognize a lot of the songs from Joan Jett's I love Rock and Roll, to Irene Carr's What a Feeling. Gloria, Manhunt, and Maniac are all sung as well. Then you have 16 new songs written by Robbie Roth. I liked the song Remember Me sang by Gloria.

The show has a reminiscent feel of Footloose the musical. The music sounded like Footloose to me and I really adore Footloose so that made me smile.

The actress that played Alex was really good and reminded me of Amy Spanger. The actor who played Nick was great as well. I really liked Gloria she was wonderful.

I saw the show in Costa Mesa, California, but you can catch the show as it travels the USA.
