Dad Attends Miss America Paegant
I guess this would be better than a race report any day ... so a break from running stuff!
"By now both of you (my Dad's partners) know that I did get to attend the Miss America Pageant here in Las Vegas this evening.
"Quite the production.
"I had an excellent aisle seat in the lower level and actually sat in front of several media photographers. The gal behind me was shooting for the Reuters Wire Service. I couldn't believe the actual seating they had. They were allowed to move down to the runway for the crowning and runway walk.
"It seems what happened is that about 3:15 p.m. they opened up some VIP and media seats that were either returned or not picked up by then. Everyone had to be in their seats by 4:30 p.m. for the live television which started here at 5:00 p.m. local time. I had previously been told by Caesar's, where I am staying, and the Aladdin Box Office, that they were sold out. I went over anyway thinking I might be able to pick up a ticket but when I got there the box office was open and I was able to buy the ticket.
"Very, very interesting. Not just the show, but the production efforts going on during the commercial breaks.
"I personally thought the girl from Pennsylvania should have been in the final five and maybe even the winner.
"In the swimsuit competition I will say that Miss California had the best tan but Miss Mississippi had the most beautiful green eyes.
"I couldn't get my hands on a ticket for one of the after event parties that were held here at Caesar's where I am staying.
"Oh well, something nice to do once and be able to say you did it."
There's a never a dull moment in my family! That's for sure!
