Optical Circuit

Sooo … my wife made me a gift on christmas … a ticket for the “Blue Man Group” Show here in vienna.
OK, I diden’t know _anything_ about this guys exept what I did see a few months ago in a game show on tv. There they where as guest act and they did a small performance there. And it looked quite cool, so I said to my wife: “Hey, this looks cool, we should try to see them some time.”

And tonight was the night: As some sort of year-ending-event, we went to the “Blue Man Group” Show and what can I say: it was AWESOME!
This was such a creative, artsy, funny and performance-explosive show I’ve ever seen so far. I am an drum-addict, so it was such a pleasure to see those intense drum-perfomance on stage. The acting was great, the humor hilarious and the music deep. All those things together forms a stage performance you have to see. A minor issue would be a few moments in the first third of the show where it is a bit lengthy (they look and seek a special person in the audience to come on stage with them to perfom a phantastic slapstick piece), but if you see this as some kind of performance-need, it’s quite OK.

So overall, if you ever get the chance to get to the “Blue Man Group” … GO AND SEE THEM. It’s worth the money.

Today, my wife and I traveled back in time. We traveled to the point, when there was no computer, no television, no radio … hell, not even electricity at all.

At the “Heeresgeschichtliches Museum” in vienna the time anomaly spitted out the strangest people from that time. It was great how all those nice people dressed like. Unfortunately, there where a bit more “normal” people around then dressed ones. But in some rare cases, one got a climpse of how it would have looked like in that time, when only those “middle age” people where around.

And they where a lot:
Traders, weapon smiths, bar tenders, cooks, guards, knights, thieves, maids and also some strange creatures with unnatural bright eyes …
Colorful stands with all kind of things like knickknacks, weapon stands, glogg stands (with real iron cauldrons, getting the glogg out with a goblet and poured into a cup), ocarinas and stands offering differnt drinks and food.
Some open fireplaces for warming ones limbs or just stand and watch the ado.

It was so much fun and we enjoyed this drive very much. We even bought two smoked trouts (there was a seperate smoking trouts stand) and they tasted great. No like those packed ones from the supermarket.
I hope that such an event will come again soon and then I will surely travel back in time again …

Back from my journey to Dublin/Ireland.
Cold and wettish … that’s Dublin. But it is also big fun to see all the crazy people every night go on the streets and having a ball.
