The Infinitely Prolonged
I could have sworn there was already, once, a thread for seeing Blue Man Group during TAM9. But, if there is, I can't find it.
The following are the dates and times I am willing to see it, along with the pros and cons of doing so. If anyone wants to join me, let me know which option you prefer.
Wed. 13th, 7:00 PM
PROS: This is very convenient for those also seeing Mac King that day. You can easily walk from Harrah's (or wherever we have dinner), to the Venetian, without making a separate trip back and forth to the hotel.
CONS: Depending on various factors, you could miss out on getting your badge and packet early. (registration desk is open from 5 PM to 9 PM). Thus, you will likely have to wait on a longer line to acquire them the next day.
Wed. 13th, 10:00 PM
PROS: Does not interfere, much, with anything on the schedule.
CONS: Will require a separate trip, and I probably won't have my own car, yet. That means a cab ride.
Also, your appearance at "Skeptics in the Pub" will be cut short, if you are going to that.
(The "Pub" meet-up officially runs from 8 PM to 10 PM, but somehow I suspect there will be plenty of us TAMers at the place long before and after, so perhaps it makes little difference.)
Sun. 16th, 7:00 PM
PROS: I will likely have my rental car by then, so I will not mind the separate trip as much, and I can take some of you along.
CONS: You will be missing the Live Million Dollar Challenge, if that matters to you.
Sun. 16th, 10:00 PM
PROS: Same as above. I will likely be able to drive folks there.
CONS: None that I can see. Unless you are already flying out, by then, or something.
Mon. 17th, 7:00 PM
PROS: Nothing specific, other than it is a convenient time, for me. Thanks to my new flight plan, I do not have to be at the airport until 9:30 PM. This will give me something to fill some of the time.
CONS: You have to still be in Vegas. If not, then forget it!

Show is 1 hr. and 45 mins. long, with no intermission.
Ticket prices vary, by zone, from $75.00 to $160.00, assuming we don't get any special deals. The site does have a few sprinkled around. I am willing to sit in any zone. Money is not a factor for me.
I have seen the show, several years ago. But, unfortunately, I was unable to meet the Blue Men afterwards, because I was rushed off to another event at the time. This year, I intend to stick around and get my photo taken with them, after the show!
