FU...(Flashback)

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...

But I'm telling the world what happened in Vegas - well, at least the two people that read this blog!

                 ...FU...

 You know...'Fooled Us'...the world famous FU Trophy...up close and in person!

Anyone who's ever watched magic on TV with Penn & Teller will be familiar with the FU trophy...

It's only won rarely, by someone able to mystify the highly experienced and knowledgeable pair of magicians, who have 'seen it all - and done it all'. 

While living back in NJ...way back in the old days when we had TV...

J would record the Penn & Teller show to watch while we ate Cheesey Noodles...

It was a win/win...

Her favorite meal, watching one of her favorite shows...

So I secretly arranged our National Park Adventure to get us close to Vegas...with the excuse of staying in Pahrump, Nevada, at the "Pair A Dice" - another Escapee RV park.

We've found SKP parks to be some of the nicest, friendliest...and reliably well kept of all places we've stayed.

And so, while there, I surprised Judy with tickets to her favorite show - Penn & Teller Live in Las Vegas!

Dinner and a show...

Doing Vegas right! 

The dinner was great - fine Italian right on the strip...

And the show was such good fun!

Penn & Teller come across on their TV show as being friendly and warm...

And they were even more so in their live performance. 

Penn on stage 45 minutes before the show start...

Jamming with some pretty good jazz from his bass fiddle...

He was also welcoming people as the crowd started to filter in...

And he asked us to join him on stage!!!

Well  actually - 

As he played ahead of the show start...

He invited everyone to come down front...

To go up on stage and get photos taken...

And to check out some of the props used during the show...

Now who else would do that??? 

Such good fun...and we lucked out with great seats!

The selfie doesn't show it well, but four rows from the stage, and with nearly a full house by showtime. 

In looking back, it's not that we recall any specific illusion...but it was the overall warmth and friendlyness of both gentlemen which made it so enjoyable.

It wasn't like a big Las Vegas production - it was more intimate...

As if we were guests in their living room, with them sharing some of their illusions and "magic"...with us personally. 

And oh, the dinner at the fine Italian restaurant on the Vegas strip - 

...don't cha' know it...

The Wild Woman ordered Cheesey Noodles!!!

Love that Girl...whether hiking boots and skeeter spray or high heels and mascara - - - 

Let the adventure continue...
