Yo Gabba Gabba!

Evan Meets DJ Lance
Sensory overload: Evan with DJ Lance Rock

Plex with Daddy and Evan.


Foofa with Evan and Mommy.

Evan and Toodie waving.

Muno! (OMG, I just noticed you can see the guys face in the Muno costume.)

We found out that the Yo Gabba Gabba gang was having a private event at the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and managed to get tickets through our wonderful friend Patrick. So we saddled up, and made the 2 and a half hour trip up from Philly to go and meet Muno, Toodie, Foofa, Plex, Brobee, and DJ Lance. Eliana stayed home with Nana and Poppop. She was a little too little to be there. When we got there the scene was chaotic. Kids, (feral kids,) were popping balloons on the dancefloor, and the balloon popping was quite loud, even for me. It was making the younger ones cry, including Evan. He was already on sensory overload from all the people there, the constant balloon popping was too much. But then DJ Lance climbed up into the DJ booth for his set, and Evan's tears turned to smiles again. The characters began to mingle with the crowd and the rush to take pictures with them was on. It was nuts. It was a feeding frenzy. We managed to get some photos with the characters, but it wasn't easy. We had to muscle our way in and I felt like a paparazzi at a Red Carpet Event. Evan had fun though. We went over to meet DJ Lance, and Evan exchanged high fives with him, but when DJ Lance picked Evan up, Evan SCREAMED, which I wasn't expecting. Evan LOVES DJ Lance, but, I guess the whole thing was a bit overwhelming. Evan had a great time and talked about it all the way home. Yo Gabba Gabba is going on a 60 city tour this year.

Can I say it again?
The Evan/DJ Lance photo is the greatest of all time.

Should we double date to the Philadelphia show?

Definitely, we were talking about the Mann Center today, or possibly Hershey...
