At the pubcon.com search engine optimization conference last week, the conference organizers were kind enough to give us complimentary tickets to the Blue Man Group.
The Blueman Group currently performs in Las Vegas at the Venetian hotel, which is one of the nicest hotels on the strip. This hotel has the most interactive water features of any Vegas hotel including canals, fountains, and pools with splashing water. It is really a tranquil place in the middle of 24 hour gambling chaos.
Back to the Blue Man presentation – the best part of the evening was getting to meet the performers after the show. Talk about interactive – the 3 men were SOAKED with paint, food, glowing liquid and other remnants of the stage props. You have to respect them for getting so physically involved in each show.
The guys are super patient and let all the audience members take photos with them, and will answer all the same questions:
- what makes you blue – non toxic paint with blue gloves
- how do you get the psychedelic colors coming from the drums – acrylic paint
- does the paint rub off your head – yes if you touch their head you will be a blue man/woman
So go see the Blue Man Group, its a great show for kids over the age of 10 or so. Kids will love the messiness of the performance and all the flashing images. This is sort of like watching a live music video.
