Happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] crackferret, and happy early birthday to [livejournal.com profile] actourdreams, [livejournal.com profile] otoselkie, [livejournal.com profile] sailingwest, and [livejournal.com profile] coppervale. May all of you enjoy many happy returns of the day!

Last night we attended Star Wars in Concert. It was absolutely magical. Anthony Daniels did a terrific job of hosting the evening, and the combination of the symphony, choir, and film clips was spectacular. There's a great review of the event here at SFSignal that describes the night very well.

I managed to get several decent pictures from the related Star Wars exhibit, including one of Yoda and one of Han Solo encased in carbonite. You can see the rest here.

If you have the opportunity to attend this show during its tour, I highly recommend it!

Star Wars in concert! Interesting. But it looks like they're skipping the West Coast. :(

Glad you had a good time!

Thanks so much! I had a great time.

I think, for some reason, they've deleted the older dates from the website. I believe it started in the west and moved east; I know my sister saw it weeks ago, and that date's no longer up on the website. :( I hope they add additional performances; it sounds like Oklahoma City and Houston were packed, and Charlotte's arena definitely seemed to be full, from what I saw.
