Just a bragadocious post, if you dont mind.

My Moonlette Jordan (the WE/WE that she is) will be dancing with her dance group in an invitational recital at Carnegie Hall this Sunday. She's been dancing since she was 3 yrs old, and in this group, she's the youngest dancer. She's very excited. I know Kay has sung there. (wonder if Judy has ever danced there..)

Funny thing, the thing starts at 4pm. Many dads are rumoured to be MISSING it for a certain reason. I will go, and will be Tivoing.

I sure hope I dont miss the halftime show, either.

Congratulations to Jordan! Hurray for her good dad, too. (By TIVOing, you can always go back and double-check the half-time show for any possible wardrobe malfunctions.)

Nope unlike Kay, I've never performed at Carnegie Hall nor even in front of it. As Jayhawker can attest, however, I did dance on the corner of Broadway and 42nd Street because, like Mount Everest, it was there.

You're a good dad, moonie!

My wife sang at Carnegie Hall when she was in high school (she also sang the national anthem at Shea).

The dancing thing is awesome! (Plus, what a great audition hook! )

PP and The Boy have their first dance competition next Saturday.

Congrats. Carnegie Hall is such a cool venue. My son Jakob played there with his high school band (from Austin) several years ago - all the way from Austin, TX. I also had the pleasure of appearing on-stage at Carnegie Hall with John Denver in the early mid-1970's!

How awesome is that!

Congrats to her and to all of the family who supported her throughout the years.

The Super Bowl is the Super Bowl - it ain't Carnegie Hall.

Good job, Dad!!

This is her Superbowl.

Here's a link if you're interested.

Thanks for all the nice words. She is a very special kid.

Congrats, Jordan...and WTG, Dad! (Although I am not the least bit surprised about how you chose to spend your Sunday afternoon...)

Genetics.

You're a good dad to miss the Super Bowl, but how many chances do you have to go see your
beautiful daughter at Carnegie Hall? It is an experience of a lifetime. She will never forget it.
Kay

Oh, that is wonderful, and you are a great dad for knowing how important it is for her to know you put her first.

We expect pictures!!!

OK, I admit it. My first reaction to the header on your thread was "How did you get there? With practice, practice, practice?"


This is way cool. Perhaps a once in a lifetime event, or perhaps a portent of even bigger and better things for your child.

Either way, enjoy and congratulations to all concerned!

So, have you been practicing?
