dancing through life

at the end of august, andrea and i decided to try our luck with the wicked lottery. it was the last weekend that the show was going to be in town and we both wanted to see it again. for those of you who don' t know how the lotto works, you go down to the venue 2 hours before the show starts and put your name in the drawing. i think it depends ont he day/show how many tickets they have for the lotto. we went to saturday matinee and they had 20 tickets to give away, each person that won could take 2. on the second name in the drawing, the lady was something like this "is it devEE--n-i-e, deveenie jensen??" i said that's me! we were both so pumped, there were probably about 100 people there so chances were slim of winning and i won! you have to go right into the office and pay $25 cash for the ticket, we had no idea where the seats were.

sue (andrea's awesome mom) came too, but sadly neither andrea nor her won. of course andrea got my second ticket.

this is how close we were: [yes you can actually read the backdrop]

i might have snapped just a few shots at the end...we were in the second row!!

crazy close i know. the show was fabulous as expected. i loved it a lot more the second time, was able to take it in more, and being on the second row really helped!

with our "i won the wicked lottery buttons," and andrea's niece toni who was here with her parents for her birthday. check out her sweet new shirt, love it!

not the best picture of us, we had so much fun, i am so glad that andrea came with and that i won! whoot!

we were pretty excited. and don't worry we were so close that during intermission i got dared[yea like fifth grade style] to go get the cuteish conductor's signature for andrea. don't you worry your pretty little head, i did it. he was very nice and it was cool to see the pit.

wonderful afternoon. wonderful show. wonderful friend.
