David Copperfield

For my birthday, JR and our small group went in and bought us tickets to go see David Copperfield at the Wharton Center. When I was younger, I loved him. I would record his specials on TV and watch them so often I had all the music memorized. I know - I'm a dork. When JR and I started dating, JR asked me about the 8x10 photo I had of David Copperfield in my room. Yeah, I actually had a photo of him in my room.
So, Saturday night JR and I went to see him. Suzanne came over and watched the kids for us. The show was supposed to start at 9pm, but at 9:00 the doors into the auditorium hadn't even been opened. It was 9:10 when they finally opened the doors. The lobby was wall to wall full of people. It was a little strange - no one made an announcement about what was going on or anything. We were sitting on the stairs up the to Grand Tier Lounge so we got a great view of all the people. It's a little dark, but here is a picture I took...

















We had a really good time that night. The show was great. I was afraid that JR would be mocking David Copperfield all night, but I think he enjoyed the show as much as I did. Some of the tricks that he performed were amazing. I can't even imagine how he made them look so real. Here's a picture of us waiting to get into the Wharton...
