Asked Mieja every 10 seconds for the past week. What was so special about Saturday(July 31, 2010)? It was ‘The Wiggles’ show at San Jose HP Pavillion. The children knew that we got tickets for the show and were thrilled beyond words. After showing her the calendar for the 1000th time, I got a bit tired of the routine. So I fake-gasped and told her, “Yesterday was Saturday. Remember we went to see The Wiggles??!! You were so tired because of the excitement that you slept through the show.” The expression on her face was priceless ;-P

Anyways, Saturday arrived and we went with bells on to the see The Wiggles. The auditorium was 80% full, the crowd was excited but not the kind of excitement that leaves you drained and tired. The Wiggles were friendly, all four walked through the aisles and waved to the kids. Even though we had the cheapest $10 tickets, we still were blessed with a darshan. Murray walked through the row directly in front of us and actually made eye contact. Some seasoned parents bought roses for Dorothy and bones for Ruff. Among the songs they sang, I could identify the iconic Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy and Hot Potato. Forgive me my Wiggles acuity is not as good as the girls. A good, relaxing show.

Mieja after having hyperventilated about The Wiggles for a whole week, was unusually quite. She asked me, “Can go home and have TV?”. When I glared at her she repeated the question, “Can we go home and watch TV please?” So I quit glaring and politely said no.

If any one interested, Ringling Bothers Circus is in San Jose(HP Pavillion) from Aug 18 – Aug 22. A quick tip, get tickets directly from HP Pavillion. The ticket office is open 10.00AM – 3.00PM. There is two hour parking right opposite to the ticket office on S.Autum Street. They charge only facility fee of $1/ticket. Where as Ticketmaster is a whole different story. I was dumbfounded by their day light robbery. They charge approximately 45% convenience fee/ticket and a service fee/ticket on top of that. Seriously???!!!
