Awake: 8:10am Temp 56 sleep 7+20 cloudy overnight @ Newell campsite # 8.
In between (5) laundry loads, Kathy motored to downtown Miami & picked up (2) tickets for tonight for us to see & hear the "World Famous Platters" perform @ the classic Coleman Theatre. She also stopped in @ the Knots Meat Market for some good bacon, corn beef, ground beef & stew meat.
We attended the 5:00pm vigil Mass @ Sacred Heart Catholic Church; afterwards, we returned to our coach & had a delicious Reuben sandwich for our dinner.
We arrived @ the Coleman Theatre early so I could take some pictures of this eloquent & opulent structure. Originally the Coleman Theatre was a vaudeville theatre & movie palace.
The "Coleman Theatre Beautiful" opened to a full house of 1600 people, at $1.00 a seat, on April 18, 1929. Built by George L. Coleman, Sr., local mining magnate, the opulent structure with Spanish Mission exterior & Louis XV interior design dazzled the audiences of the day. From that day forward the Coleman has never been "dark".
Early birds getting ready for the World Famous Platters. Our reserved seats are further to the left; Kathy was just testing the viewing distance.
From the balcony looking down onto the stage area; my flash couldn't reach far enough to light up the stage.
Now that's what I call a magnificent chandelier.
The loge, usually has box seats, but this one hides the pipes from the mighty Wurlitzer organ. There is one on the other side also.
They are not the original Platters; those guys have gone to platter heaven; but the replacements did a fairly good job.
In fact, they were so good they had us dancing in the aisles.
Now here is a nice looking couple who just happened to be celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary. Kathy's anniversary present to me was (5) of my favorite candy bars; my present to her was seeing the "World Famous Platters."
Our present to my sisters Corinne & Mary Jo for remembering our special day is: a BIG: "THANK YOU" to both of you! And a Big "THANK YOU" to Nick in Seattle.
Back in our coach, late evening movie: "The Goodbye Girl." We watched ½.
Lights out: 1:14am.
