Wild Ride

Have you ever seen the Blue Man Group? I have been thinking for a few days what I should say about the concert we went to on Tuesday. On the way home I asked my husband how he would explain the show. He was a little speechless as well.

I guess I would call it a great, funny rock/percussion concert that was amazingly creative. During the segment shown above, they take a canvas and place it over the drum as it is being played. The splashing colors create an original piece of art. They do this again with dye filled marshmallows spitting the color out of their mouth and onto a canvas.

Later in the evening they take someone from the audience, dress them in a full jumpsuit, paint them, hang them from their ankles and swing them into a canvas. No, I am not kidding. Oh, they did put a helmet on them. You know, safety first.

The really cool thing is that the art was given to people in the audience. Think of how much people who had seen the show would pay for a piece of the art. But they all make it part of the fun. And it was really, really fun.

If you get a chance to see them perform you are in for an amazing ride. I came home feeling creatively recharged. Hmmm, if I only I had a jump suit, a helmet, a pulley and......hey Steve?
