Dick Davis - Gregory Popovich - and our treasured plaque from our Vegas anniversary show. Now it is signed.
Last June we spent some time in Las Vegas with Jan and Dick Davis. Lulu had a library convention - but in the evening we partied - it was our anniversary. Lulu is always looking for a bargain and she found tickets to the Popovic Comedy Pet Theater for half price. It is a great family show but a little too calm by Vegas standards - and Dick's. Ever since then - Dick and Jan have been giving us the business about the show.
On Christmas Eve we received a package featuring moments of the Popovich adventure. You can see that collection in the picture above.
Last week we were reading our local newspaper - what are the chances that the exact same show was coming to North Florida at the exact time that Jan - Dick - Carl - and MaryLou were coming to visit. The scene was set for the payback of all time.
While I took the guests for an all day tour - Lulu bought the tickets. I thought she told me to have them all back home by 5 PM for supper. But since the show was at 7 PM and in Madison - 50 miles away we had to hurry. So at 5:30 we all piled into George and Joel's van for the 50 mile trip east. The evening meal was McDonald's burgers on the way to the show. Meanwhile our guests had no idea what the Magical Mystery Tour was all about.
Madison is a tiny town - with the old county court house the centerpiece of the metropolis. The North Florida Community College has a very nice auditorium and as we entered the Davis's saw the signs in the foyer - POPOVICH. It is almost like we arranged it all.
The show was fantastic. Gregory Popovich and the rest of the staff were flattered that people from Pennsylvania - Arizona - and Tampa traveled just to see their show. The auditorium was packed and the local newspaper interviewed us. Everyone in the house gave us such a good time.
The show's next stop is Lakeland FL - which is very close to Carl and Marylou's home. They plan to take the grandkids. Go to wikipedia and read the history and reviews of the Popovich show. It has won very many awards. So I guess Lulu picked a good one in Vegas after all - but the payback in Madison FL was the best.
We are now Popovich groupies - following them across the country. Just like the old days - champagne in the back of a van.
