Forgot to mention Mo Tab!

I forgot to mention that we want to a taping of "Music and the Spoken Word" on Sunday morning. This is the program that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir presents each week. I forgot that I took this picture with my Iphone. (You are allowed to take pictures, I just didn't have my camera with me.) Unfortunately it didn't occur to me to take a picture until the big choir was on their pre-taping bathroom break. The choir you see seated was a guest choir, The Youth Choir of Great Britain.

Going to see this taping is the easiest... during the summer months they hold it in the conference center which is a building worth seeing all on its own. The doors open at 8:30 and you have to be seated by 9:15. They tape from 9:30-10:00. No children under 8 are allowed, though. There is no need to get in line because the conference center holds 20,000 and there are maybe 2,000 people at the taping? I am a terrible estimator of numbers, but the bottom line is everyone should go at some point if you can... it's free and you can walk in at 9:10 and get a great comfortable seat in a beautiful air conditioned building while the Mormon Tabernacle Choir serenades you! You don't even have to dress up. We were dressed up in our Sunday duds but there were lots of tourists there in shorts and jeans who had just walked in off the street. All are welcome. Be sure to do it if you are in Salt Lake.

And BYU boys... might make for a memorable (and free) date! Pack a picnic (or make her do it)(but extra points if you do it), attend the broadcast in the morning, attend sacrament meeting at the Joseph Smith building and then picnic maybe somewhere on the capital grounds where you can overlook the city and temple square. Now, this is not first date material, you don't want to scare her away with talk of the temple on the first date! This is further into the relationship when she has doubts about your emotional maturity and your commitment to the gospel. This may be just the thing to redeem yourself from that all night video game playing escapade that she just found out about! (Not that any BYU boys - including my own son - read my blog but what the hec!)
