Anyone have a good place to watch the launch. Tried to get tickets and they sold out in less than 2 minutes. We are staying in Titusville and are open to ideas. Launch is scheduled for 7:32 AM

Also has anyone seen the Blueman group at Universal? We are interested but have not pulled the trigger on getting tickets yet.

Saw the Blue Man group in Boston, we really enjoyed the show. I give them :thumbup::thumbup:

Blueman Group in Las Vegas. The show was lame. Many friends who have also seen it in LV have the same opinion. :nojoke:There are too many Blueman "Groups". Now commercialized and the origional group is who know's where, so In my opinion they are warn out, tired out, not worth the $$$. Better comedy can be found at a JR. College community show. Butt...... this does not explain why Carrot Top is still performing at the Luzor in LV after a year!!! :nojoke:4::nojoke:Yawn
See Jeff Dunham if you want to die laughing.:yes1::yes1::yes1::yes1:

If you're staying in Titusville, then you're about as close as you can get without a NASA pass. You can get a good view of the launch across the river if you pull into the Holiday Inn Riverfront Kennedy Space Center parking lot and watch it from there.

I saw the Blue Man Group in Vegas and absolutely loved it. I guess it all depends on what type of comedy you like.

:agree: I used to live in Oviedo (NE Orlando) and watched the shuttle launch from my home. Loved the night launches. Hated the early morning landings - the double sonic boom from the shuttle would just about knock us out of bed.

While you are in Titusville, try the Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant for a great meal.

If I remember correctly the Holiday Inn is a good place to watch it from

Anywhere in Titusville would be a good place to watch the launch. I have seen it from Orlando and Sanibel.
Blue Man in Chicago was great...go for it.

I have been to 100's of concerts, and Blue Man is definitely up there in the top 10. I saw the Complex tour (4th row)and the "How to be a Rock Star" tour.

Definitely worth it when you have the opportunity.

+ 1 on the Dixie Crossroads

Blue Man Group in Vegas. Not worth the $100 + per ticket.

Blue Man group ROCKS!!! We saw them in Vegas and were in the 5th row... would love to see them again... Blue Man group is different than anything else you may have seen... it's not a rock concert... it's not a comedic show... it's a little of both with some theatrics thrown in...

The biggest thing with Blue Man Group is how they take ordinary objects (pvc pipe, captain crunch etc) and turn them into musical istruments... you really should look at it differently... it not your common rock concert... there is also a LOT of audience interaction...


Oh and the comment on Jeff Dunham.... He rocks too!!!

I haven't seen the Blue Man group but we saw the Cirque du Soleil when we were in Orlando and it was GREAT!!

:agree:
It's theater, concert & performance art, some just don't get it.. If you're going with expectations of stand up comedy, you'll be disappointed.. Rent the "MegaStar" DVD if you can find it.. That'll give you an idea of what they do but doesn't replace actually experiancing it for yourself..

There is a lot of audiance involvment, review the seating charts when you reserve, there are "wet" seats where you'll be wearing plastic ponchos.. Personally I liked the Blue Man Group WAY better than Cirque di Soleil "O"..

Yes there are a number of different shows with different troupes but they are all very consistant!! In rock concerts, there's only one Robert Plant, Mick Jagger, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Niel Diamond, Eminem etc.. The BMG was designed to not focus on a single player.. Like dance troupes it doesn't really matter who is on the stage, they're performers working through the show, if they're good the experiance is complete for the audience...

DUH, just noticied Sassy already commented... Sorry..

[BobsGL1800]

I think its scheduled for Feb. 12.

I was once told, by a guy in RonJon's Surf Shop on Cocoa Beach that anywhere between Key West and Myrtle Beach is a good place to see the launch!!!:lol:
We were there to watch a night launch in 1990. Unfortunately, 13 seconds before liftoff, they stopped the count down. :-(Rescheduled it for the next day. Then, scrubbed it. Didn't lauch that mission until three months later.
I have never been back for one, but would like to see it sometime.
