WOW! Dinosaurs in 3D...Without the Glasses!!

Yesterday 'the fam' took a short trip up the PA turnpike to Reading to take in the final performance of "Walking With Dinosaurs" at the Sovereign Center. After watching a PBS series on the behind the scenes magic that brings dinosaurs back from the Jurassic period (sans the Dino DNA engineering), I checked the web to find any upcoming area performances. Plenty of shows at the Wachovia Center, but a few seats at the Reading appearances were up for the taking as well.

To my utter delight (after being turned off by the exorbitant ticket prices for the Philadelphia shows, as well as dealing with Ticketmaster online) I snagged tickets for yesterday's 5 pm show by calling the Sovereign Center directly. Though they normally only do group sales over the phone, for some reason this very helpful woman on the other end of the line sold me three tickets, no extra service fees, etc for less than half of what it would have cost for the exact same show in Philadelphia. On top of that great deal, the venue was perfect!! Plenty of parking around the Center (again, at half the price of what you'll be charged down in South Philly) and a smaller venue that gets you up close and personal with T Rex and pals! Great family fun. Check out the highlight video below before the lawyers snag it off my site!!! (That reminds me...who wins in this match up: Dino vs. lawyer? Let's go to the tape!)

BTW: This video was also shot using the Flip UltraHD camera. Not too shabby.
