Talk about being at the right place at the right time, here is footage of me and Alex and the grand opening of Universal’s brand new roller coaster, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. We we the third train to leave the station that was open to the public. The coaster opened officially at 6pm, August 15th, 2009, and this was the footage we shot during the day at Universal Studios. Hope you enjoy our excitement!

2009 Blue Man Group Fan Meet Recap

// July 27th, 2009 // No Comments » // Joe's Blog

What an amazing time we had at this year’s fan meet here in Orlando. Fans came from everywhere, even Norway to be a part of this special event. Fans were treated to all sorts of Blue Man goodness from the staff of the Orlando production including: prize wheel with free Blue Man gear, blooper reel, trivia games and a special private meet and greet with the Blue Men themselves! The entire day was just perfect, and I am so thankful that my blue man buddies from all over the US and world support these annual fan meets. Here’s a pictorial recap of some of the highlights from that day.

Group shot, there were 32 total this year for the fan meet, not bad!

Free Blue Man Group goodies, woohoo!

Special 20 minute preshow sound check, with the blue men out of character.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., was so good yum! It was the perfect choice to host our party for this year’s meet.

Goofing off with my bud Mike and fiance Alex.

We painted our faces with special UV pain for the show, because Blue Man has a blacklight intense climactic ending.

I was presented with this year’s fan meet Spin Art, compliments of Blue Man for organizing and planning the meet.

I was gleaming here!

With the guys and lovely soon to be wifey!

Until next year gang, thanks to all those who came out, the staff at Blue Man Orlando and all those special people behind the scenes that made this night one to remember! Godspeed to you all!!!
