Lexington Opera House Trip

Saturday, we attended a performance of 'Movin' Out', the Billy Joel, Twyla Tharp music and dance production at the Lexington Opera House. UK was playing a basketball game at Rupp Arena and parking spaces were at a premium. No sweat for the Segway. I let my wife out at the side door and drove until I found a parking spot (app 6 blocks away), got on the Segway and rode it to the Opera House on a cold January afternoon. I didn't have to pay for parking either. I saved $5.00 and thought that if I did this 1000 more times, I could buy a new Segway with my savings. Only 999 more to go!

When we entered and found our seats. One of the female volunteer ushers came to my seat and said that she sure could use my machine to help direct people to their seats. She further stated that she had been wanting to ride one. I naturally asked her to give it a try and we agreed to meet at the intermission in the foyer for her test ride. She loved it and it generated quite a lot of attention. My wife was even approached by a gentleman who wanted to know more about the device. The amount of attention it gets, even after being out for over 5 years, continues to amaze me. Great Saturday afternoon.
