Rock of Ages for my Birthday

With Allison at Rock of Ages
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00097

Today was a great day! Allison and I drove down to Foxwoods Casino to meet up with my sisters and their husbands because we were seeing Rock of Ages! Allison and I saw the show in Boston and after it was over I immediately wanted to see it again and I thought that it would be a great show to take my sister’s to see because the music that was part of the show was the music of our childhood. My sister was a die-hard Poison fan and she even has her original jean jacket and pins for the band plus a tour shirt from 1989 and her ticket stub from her second show. So this was a perfect show for her. We bought tickets for my sisters and their husbands to go and see the show on the weekend before my 45th birthday. So we combined Christmas and birthday all into one. It made for a great time.

When we arrived we caught up with Tara and Erik. We got into our room to have some downtime and then met back up with them to have dinner at Cedars. We hung out in the lounge and met up with Shelby and Tim. Cedars is a really nice steakhouse and they had excellent food. I got the braised Short Ribs and Allison the Filet. We ate our fill and made it just in time for the opening of the show. Dinner was filled with great conversation and fun. I enjoyed it so much. Continue reading Rock of Ages for my Birthday →

Review: The Kid Who Would Be King – #KidWhoWouldBeKing

With the Cast of The Kid Who Would Be King

This past weekend Eva and I had the fortunate luck to be present at a Press Event for the movie, The Kid Who Would Be King. We saw the movie, interviewed some of the cast and had some excellent experiences all around the city of New York. I detailed those adventures in posts earlier this week. What I am talking about today is the movie itself. This is our review. I will give you Eva’s review first. She wrote it out for me to copy here.

“The Kid Who Would Be King is the most amazing, adventurous, magical, incredible, unbelievable movie you will ever see. The actors are absolutely incredible and the special effects are the most realistic ones you will ever see in a movie. The Kid Who Would Be King is a must see for fans of the King Arthur legend or anyone who likes magical, mystical legends. This story really carries the message that no matter what your background, you can go from living in a tiny one room apartment with barely enough food to go around to living in a fifty room mansion with enough food to feed a village.” – Eva Bennett Continue reading Review: The Kid Who Would Be King – #KidWhoWouldBeKing →
