Because the main reason we were staying overnight in SLC was to see a shadowcast of Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Repo! is a "goth" opera. It's music is rock and roll bordering on heavy metal, with some real opera mixed in. The music is superb if you can appreciate the genre. The story is fascinating...in the future, organ failure rate is very high and catastrophic to the human race. A company called Geneco manufactures organs, and offers them on payment plans. However, if you're 90 days past due, they send the Repo man to come repossess....
We've gone for the last 2 years. This year was better than last year...it seems it's finally coming into it's own. This year, I also got some excellent pictures...my camera keeps proving over and over how good it is in low light.

It was so much fun, I already can't wait to go back when they do it again next year. After the show, we spent the night in Salt Lake, and headed back to Ogden in the morning. I wasn't able to get my entire Saturday shift off, so I had to be back.
I had a great Birthday...35's been pretty good to me so far!!

I would have loved to see the movie when it came out. I just wish it weren't rated R. Oh... and I don't know that my stomach could handle some of it. Glad you guys enjoy it.
Happy Birthday Jen!
