Backyardigan's Live: Cancelled

Remember a few weeks ago, when I was so excited. Giddy like a teenager when I scored front row tickets to The Backyardigan's Live. We have been talking about this for weeks, planning how that day was going to go because I didn't realize it at the time, but Calvin was supposed to fly to Denver that same morning for a Bronco game.

In a moment of panic, I changed his flight to the afternoon so that he could go with us. He just couldn't miss The Backyardigan's with his kids.

I got a letter in the mail today that says that the tour has been cancelled. Due to the current economic climate in the country, there will be no Backyardigan's Live performance.

I hope that this is the real reason. I hope I don't see headlines on Entertainment Tonight saying that one of the Backyardigan's has entered rehab or that Pablo is dating Yoko Ono and she has broken up the group. Perhaps they are just exhausted.

Whatever it is....I am sad and disappointed.

That's a bummer. And kind of an odd reason, I might add. Hmmm...

Monica said...

I'm so sorry! I know how excited you were about it. What a weird reason though.

Betty said...

What a bummer! I am so sorry to hear the show was cancelled. I agree though pretty strange reason.

Darnit! Cute visual of one of the Backyardigan's in rehab. Anything's possible...

I would typically peg Tasha to be the prima donna trouble maker - but I'm thinking maybe Austin was recently outed in the tabloids and they're trying to do damage control to cover up the scandal.

oh. sucky.

my sister works at a very posh strip club downtown. (she's a server. but no one ever believes me.)

and i'm always worried that i'm gonna pay big bucks to go see the wiggles and find out that they spent my money at her club afterwards.
