"Humble Allie" sings for Sean during his birthday dinner at Whispering Canyon!
Sean and I did some coloring while we waited for dinner Sean wasn't the only one celebrating a birthday

16 January was the Star Wars Series 1 Vinylmation release and signing at D Street in Downtown Disney Anaheim. The actual sale started at 8am; by the time we got there (930/10am), they were almost sold out. More stock was on its way, but as it was there were no worries: Sean was one of the last dozen to get a case of these much prized pieces of plastic.
He found the Vinylmation he was looking for..
This set only has the one chaser: it's said to be Obi-Wan Kenobi.. but he's a bit off. Sean thought it was one of the rebel generals (it is "Empire Strikes Back" themed after-all).
There was a long line to purchase and a bit of a longer line to get them signed.. Artist Mike Sullivan was very gracious to his fans by signing a little early.. around 130pm.
Mike posed for photos with his fans and of course we got a close up of Mike signing Sean's selected figures (there were 3 Stormtroopers in his set.. yes they varied by set). He also signed the box for us.
Tron Legacy was showing at the El Cap (near Hollywood & Highland) through the 20th, so last night we headed out on the Metro to see the film and catch the laser preshow. **Warning** Music is a bit loud after the stills.. NSFW if you work in a quiet place.
This is a few highlights from Thursday night's Disney Parks Blog "ElecTRONica Meetup" October 28th, the park closed at 8pm and 1,500-3,000 lucky attendees (giveaway for 1500 people & their optional 'plus one' was on the @Disneyland twitter account) got to have elecTronica all to themselves. Sean & I have been before a couple weeks ago and had a great time (that's where we were before we went to World of Color) So having more time at the fun Tron-themed venue was a great opportunity..
I got several minutes throughout the night on my iPhone.. and put together this 9.5 minute video in iMovie for iPhone! I'm learning! It includes walking through the "portal' through to the dance floor.. lots of dance stuff, "Laserman" and all the cool digital effects.. Nothing beats being there though!
It's usually on Friday, Saturday & Sunday nights.. around 6pm.. They take over the Muppet theater several times during the night-time event to show exclusive sneak previews of Tron Legacy 3-D (and you KNOW I don't have video of that so don't ask.. just go..)
*disclaimer I don't work for Disney; I'm don't make any money.. I do admit having a drink bias for @cokezero.. so yeah.. Coke Zero is at ElecTRONica so that makes me happy too.. =) and has NOTHING to do with how much fun the event is.
