Saturday, October 14 Part 3 Evening Entertainment. AKA Who is this guy?
Long time no hear. Sorry about that. We leave Friday so this needs to be done before then. Started earlier this morning but DD decided her car wanted to get close and personal with the car in front of her. She got her license in October and this is the second accident. The kid, the guy she hit and the car are fine. Well the car has a few more scratches than it did when she left this morning.
OK we were at the Boardwalk and it was time to go so we got the car and headed to Riverside. Why Riverside?
To see this guy
Yep, Yehaa Bob. This is something I wanted to do for a while now. My solo trip in March I went thinking he was performing that night but nope. We got an OK table near the stage that squeezed the three of us in. Saw him walking around talking to guests but he didnt hit our table. The kids had no idea what was going on. OK, we are sitting in a lounge. What is the big deal?
Same with two groups at other tables that were watching the Florida/Georgia game. They were very confused when the waitress turned off the TV by the stage. To give you an idea how much I wanted to see Bob, I forgo the game. I am a UF grad and college football is my favorite sport to watch. They did lose however (indicative of our season this year).
They were not happy and scouted out a place to watch the game. Bob comes on and starts the show. Luckily for us they wanted to leave and soon asked for their check. We called dibs on one of their tables and had great seats which were more roomy.
Order some bar food stuff (dont remember what) and settled in. Bob starts and the kids have no idea how to react. It is a pretty corny show for 17 YOs. They didnt know how to take it at first. Should they act cool or get into the show. When he began, I was worried they wouldnt like it.
Starting to enjoy themselves
Some of the crowd wasnt so sure either
The first show went great and the kids loved it. My question to them was should we stay or go? Stay of course.
Posing with Bob after the first show
Between shows, I excused myself to use the restroom. Found out after the fact that a kid with his family at another table passed a note to the girls. They met after that show to chat and take photos with each other. Wont post it here but if you were the kid at the show that night and met my daughter and her friend, I know what you look like. They giggled about it for a while after.
Second show. They were really into it by now.
And second pose with Bob. He calls people on stage after each show to take a picture with him. He posts them on his Facebook page. He also autographs his photo.
Pictures dont really describe the fun that is Bobs show. So, lets go to the video tape. Sorry about the quality, the camera does not do well in video mode in dark settings.
This was the first time they were asked to participate. They were the big kids from Florida.

They were real stage hounds. You can hear 9 say YEA when they were asked to come back up stage.

And my favorite. This was a song about Sarah. She has various adventures including Sitting in a Brick ship yard. All day long she bricks and sits. All day long she sits and bricks. They told me they really were concentrating on what to say. You try singing it. Very funny bit. Next time I will get the whole song.

Did they enjoy it. Well this weekend we are going to the Dis event at Harry Potter and the WDW Today Reunion thing. Staying at French Quarter and when I told DD that we were within walking distance to Riverside she said she wants to see Bob Friday night. OK.
He is a great entertainer. Remembers where everyone is from and their names. Great show and if you get the chance, you should go and see him.
After sitting through three shows, it was time to go back. Headed to the room for our final sleep at the resort for this trip. Leaving tomorrow. Oh the humanity.
Up next: Saturday, October 14 Bye Bye till next time. AKA TONGA
