Carl has been a generous host and as always on his quest to surprise the hell out of me. So, every day, I get a card (it is only day two today so we shall see;)
Yesterday, Friday, I had the clue – being on top. Before your randy minds run away with you, it was about heading to The Standard and drinking cocktails while viewing the city from on top.
Today, Saturday, my clue was – poncho.

I remained clueless up to the point we actually appeared almost in front of Astor Place in Lafayette. Truly surprised – a show by The Blue Man Group. And what a way to be surprised. First, Carl was randomly called to stand up while a digital audience prompter got the audience to tell him that they loved him in unison - what a laugh.
I think the biggest surprise of the show came when I was hauled away to join the blue men as part of their show!

I played in on their skit and had a great time - walked away with a little take-away box filled with squished bananas and a photo with one of them. The sketch with them saw us sitting to dinner to eat Twiggies and eventually we all squirted bananas out of our makeshift shirts.

| I am not crying - just holding back mirth. And the ribbon is from the lunch box which I happily left behind. |

It was a super show, a true surprise from Carl and as we are celebrating an anniversary of sorts - I would like to say blue is definitely not the state I am in.
But the night is still young, and Carl has further surprises planned. So we shall see - off to paint the town blue now. Blue is the new red.
