Photos from the Star Wars in Concert show from the UC tonight . . . . . . . . . . .

Fun show... front row seats didn't allow us much of a view of the entire orchestra, but the musicians sync'd up to the edited clips from the movies was really well done. But both Mike & I felt something was missing... having only two tickets and not three so our good buddy Allen could have come down from Wisconsin and joined us. He probably would have enjoyed it more than the two of us did combined.

And oh yeah, the @unitedcenter crew that got me the tickets wanted a picture of us, check THIS out!

More info on Star Wars in Concert.

Not too long ago I saw a half hour program on WTTW-TV (Chicago PBS) about the Star Wars In Concert production.  Nice behind-the-scenes look at the show that features an orchestra playing the music from the Star Wars movies accompanied by a multimedia presentation of the movies.

When they announced it was coming to the United Center, I dropped an email to my buddies Mike & Al who are fellow SW movie geeks.  Everyone was interested in it, but the price tag was a little steep for everyone. 

So then last week, I notice the @unitedcenter Twitter account run a contest to win a pair of tickets, so I threw my name into the hat just for the hell of it, and for the first time in my life, the Jedi Mind Trick WORKED.

Check out how it went down. . . . .
