 Saw the on Leno and thought this would be great live.  Bought the
CD--good
 stuff.  Didn't they do Intel Pentium IV commercials?

  And Hoffnung took the trumpet mouthpiece and stuck it on 20 feet of
 garden
  hose. That bit is on the video that I also have.
 
  Speaking of odd instruments... Has anyone here seen Blue Man Group?
They
  do some pretty great music using an assortment of twisted PVC pipe
 sections,
  amongst other things.  It's a pretty amazing show that I heartily
 recommend to
  anyone if it's in their area.  I've taken my mother, 20 year-old
 brother-in-law,
  and my then-girlfriend, and everyone has loved it.

Are you sure you weren't seeing Gallagher?

Have any Andorians been bald? They all seem to have a (basketball coach at 
Georgia Tech) haircut.

How do they compare to groups like Stomp or Sticks of Thunder?


I haven't seen Stomp (except for a few TV appearances) or Sticks of
Thunder, but I'm guessing Blue Man Group is much wierder/funnier
than Stomp.Some highlights:
- The 3 guys each flipping funny cue-card signs while White Rabbit (by
Jefferson Starship) is playing.  There's not quite enough time to read them
all, so you have to decide which one to follow...
- various bits involving Captain Crunch and Twinkies and a girl brought up
from the audience
- The finale, involving lots and lots and lots of toilet paper, while KLF's
Last Train to Trancentral is played.  (I love that song!)

YMMV on that one.  I read all three

Only on the Intel commercials, and maybe once on Letterman (but I was 
half-asleep at the time).

We went up for a day in New York to celebrate my son Ted's birthday on
Columbus day.  We were in the second row.  That's the time we got a suite
on Times square for $220. They were great.  The experience was much better
than Stomp.  The theater is very intimate, so that's part of it.  One of
the actors was climbed on top of my wife's seat.  We all had to wear
plastic ponchos.

Kinda different from the Stomp shows I've been to.  For those, the prime
seats aren't in the orchestra, but up where you can see all the stage a bit
better.

(And we have tickets to see Stomp at the Paramount in Austin next week!)
