On Nov 18th Lin and I went to the Transyberian Orchestra concert at the Energy Solutions Arena. The tickets were my birthday present. To start off the night we were going to go to our favorite restaurant Texas Roadhouse. They had just opened a new chain at the University Mall. We were so excited. To avoid the crowds we did the call ahead seating (they don't do reservations). We get there and the lady marks our name on the list and gives us another number (which was weird). due to the crowds inside we decided to wait outside despite it being cold. We waited, and waited, and waited. The numbers they were calling were not even near ours. Finally we went back inside because we didn't have enough time to wait until we were seated, order, eat, and get to Salt Lake. Lin did get a little frustrated telling the host why we were leaving. So we then drove to Salt Lake hungry and trying to figure out what to eat. Unfortunately after expected delicious steak and potatoes nothing quick and available sounded good at all. Finally we got to down town and had to figure out something. Not wanting actual "fast food" we went to Village Inn. Still kinda a downer but at least it was real food. . .
Thankfully that didn't food mishap didn't ruin the night. We were able to get to the concert right before it started. Overall the concert was good. I definitely like their Christmas songs better than their songs. It was also a little long, but fun and a good cultural experience to add to our lives. (we like to experience things that we haven't before even if we will never do it again)
I took a lot of pictures because the lights and pyro-technics were awesome! Some of them were blurry I will just put up the best ones.















Ha ha I love "Arnold." So funny. It looks like Christmas Around the World was so awesome. Jealous! And the orchestra dealio? Lucky.
