Come on Down!!!

So, every time that my family goes to Disneyland we go to The Horseshoe Review. For those of you who have never been, it's a show put on by four men who all play string intruments and they are hilarious. They are all extremely talented and they put on a great performance. It's held in an old saloon and they pretend to be hillbillies, all while playing their different instruments. Anyway, it's great. Next time you're in Disneyland, be sure to check it out! Okay, so they used to do this thing where they call somebody from the audience up onto the stage. Two years ago I went to Disneyland with my parents, younger sister and best friend Erica. We went to one of the showings and the place was packed out, so we grabbed a table in the back. As we were waiting for the show to start, my dad leaned over and told me how he's gotten called up on stage twice. He was telling me how he's sat in different places just so that he wouldn't get picked and he always gets picked anyway. He also assured me that they don't do this anymore. Liar. The show starts and we are all laughing and having a good time. And then the lead guy heads into the audience to pick "a pretty gal who has been eyeing us the whole time." I took this opportunity to look very interested in my shoes. It didn't work. He definitely picked me, which meant that I had to go up on stage and play a small violin with them. I really don't like being up in front, especially when I have no time to mentally prepare! I was really horrible and embarassed, they were really nice. So, needless to say, we had a good laugh! A couple of months ago I went to Disneyland with my parents and sister and brother-in-law. We went to the show and purposefully sat in the very front so that we wouldn't get picked. Not so much! They made fun of us and Oregon the whole time and then when it was time to call somebody up front, they didn't even peruse the audience. They picked my sister! It was hilarious!! So, I wanted to share a couple of pictures of us. Arlene Shnitzer and the Oregon Symphony, here we come!
Ps. I couldn't find the picture of myself, but it's almost exactly the same. The same guy is even in it!! Too funny...
