My Hot Date

Randy and I had a hot date Wednesday evening to see Brian Regan perform at the Thanksgiving Point Waterfall Amphitheater. Here are the highlights of the night...(I actually wrote this post out and it was so lame I deleted it and decided to go bullet-point style, you're welcome.)


--Last minute babysitting from Lori (lifesaver)
--Forgot the tickets and had to turn around when halfway there
--Because of ticket episode we didn't have time to go out for dinner


--Ended up going through McDonald's drive thru (nothing but the best)


--Had to walk a long, long way from our parking space to the show


--Gorgeous venue!
--We ate super tasty, very hot kettle corn
--We love our Costco chairs!
--The warm-up comedian was funny


--Brian Reagan is hysterical



--I was crying with laughter within 4 minutes of his performance
--I love comedians!


--It was a beautiful night
--Except for the bug bites!

**Do you go on dates often?
Do you enjoy outdoor shows?
Do you like comedians?**

I can't believe I'm the first to comment!!! I love Brian Regan, but we missed his show. He has so many classic stories and the best delivery. Sounds like a great time!

He is so funny. Sounds like a perfect date. I wish Lou and I went on more dates we're kind of at the date at home stage.

I love different dates like this- that venue looks amazing! We are going to the moonlit tram ride thing up at Sundance tomorrow and I can't wait!

We love comedians and often listen to them during road trips. Laughing to tears within 4 minutes is pretty awesome. I will check him out!

Oh man, our kids would have loved it if we'd have all been able to go to Brian Regan. I love your amphitheatre. What a fun date.

We are huge brian regan fans!!
my older 3 kids bought tickets to his show 2 years ago. They bought the tickets six months in advance. Brett & i were really wishing we would've bought tickets too when it came time to go to the show...
we actually have the dvd from the clip you are showing- so funny!!
we've watched it over & over & it doesn't get old!

TAlk about a GREAT date- we go on dates but nothing that great for way too long...

I can just imagine you on your hot date, sprayed with eu de Bug Spray.

What fun!

OK, I am seriously in love with Brian Regans comedy. We have seen him numerous times and I never get tired of him. He makes me laugh until my face hurts. I hope you had a blast.

I love the photos. And the "you're welcome" and "nothing but the best". You crack me up.

Michelle's family has exposed us to Brian Regan through YouTube and he is pretty funny, looks like a good show. I had no idea that amphitheatre was so cool!

I enjoy outdoor shows and comedians, and while we do go on dates, we haven't done anything like that for years. Great date!

sounds like a great night out. and what a gorgeous venue!!

tootie said...

I'm secretly jealous! My friend let us borrow her Brian Regan CD, and he is hysterical! So glad you got to go and enjoy yourselves.

By the way, thanks for posting the youtube clip. I enjoyed the laugh this morning :)

Liz said...

Fun date! We try to go on dates about twice a month. Babysitters are expensive!!

[[laughing]] more [[laughing]] the pressure part cracks me up because it is so true and reminds me of Carly's delivery!!

Rebecca said...

Yes to dates. Yes to outdoor venues. And yes to Brian Regan. My brother in law and his wife went for his upcoming birthday and I was searching your pictures like mad thinking maybe I would see them. They live in Lehi and when we were there visiting in December I really did think I would run into you and all your great friends somewhere. Lame, I know. But, I do love me some Brian Regan!!

Natasha said...

I have never heard of Brian Regan. Is that sad?!

Missy said...

He is so hilarious. Have you ever heard his bit on 'Dora the Explorer'? So Funny! Thanks for the little laugh this morning!

j said...

i gotta google this guy. i am so out of the loop.

shane and i have been on two dates since we've been in alaska- that's like double our date rate for the past 3 years. we have found a babysitter, though, so we're set...if only we knew what to do!

i've been to one outdoor show, but it wasn't fantastic. i think the photos of where you were at are gorgeous and i'd love to go see that! i think an outdoor concert would be awesome.

We went to the show on Friday night. I think I had a very different reaction. While I laughed and enjoyed it, I didn't love it nor did I feel it was worth the money I paid. We had also heard several of his jokes and that sort of ruined it. I think perhaps comedy is not my thing. Enjoyable yes but my favorite no. I would rather pay $80 and go see a Broadway play.

charlotte said...

I love Brian Regan! I wish I could have gone to his show--that's a great date for you and Randy. I'm glad you had a good time!

I don't know who he is....I do love comedians...and I can't believe that outdoor stage...wow...I just love thanksgiving gardens. How fun to go, NO we have not done anything in this department for soo long, no wonder we are in the predicament that we are in. We used to love going to deer valley for the symphony in the summers when we lived up there...go for Lori!

Amy said...

Your date sounds lovely-even though you had to go to McDonalds for dinner. I love the Thanksgiving Point gardens but have never been to an event there--I'm so jealous!!

Laurie said...

Never heard of Brian Regan. Now I'm really curious - I don't like to miss a good thing.

Sounds fun. We get out often enough, but it doesn't seem like it.

What a gorgeous setting!!!

wende said...

every year we make it to see ryan schupe and the rubberband in september at the amphitheater. it's so gorgeous there - we go early and i make my kids take photos with all of the beautiful flowers. love that atmosphere there, absolutely beautiful.

Amie said...

We don't go out on dates... we need to... it is nice to be reminded that we like each other.

I have heard good things about that amphitheater and I do enjoy comedians.... it is unfortunate that most of them are not so good to look at....

I LOVE BRIAN REGAN!!!! He is so dang funny!
Yes, we try to go out each week. Most of the time, it is with another couple though.
Looks like a great venue - stunning evening!
