This entry sponsored by Chik-Fil-A.

Last night color club attended Stone Mountain Park's Laser Show Spectacular. It was indeed spectacular, and as a club devoted to loving all the colors of the rainbow and then some, I don't know why we didn't make it to the laser show sooner. I had never been to the show before, and didn't really know what to expect besides lasers and extreme patriotism. Here are the top five reasons why the laser show is awesome:

1. Lasers. Like the kind that make you feel like you're living in the future.
2. There is a vignette dedicated to the heroes of our country accompanied by Mariah Carey's song "Hero," which then transitions into a vignette advertising Chik-Fil-A, in which cows act out the premise of various movies like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and High School Musical (Moosicow).
3. Stone Mountain has Robert E. Lee and some other guys carved into the side of it. During the show, the stone men come to life through the power of lasers and come charging at the audience. It's terrifying.
4. Also terrifying is the fact that the lasers lead you to believe that the end of the Civil War was a mutual break-up. The lasers tell you that Robert E. Lee broke his sword over his knee and the Union was born.
5. Dippin' Dots. I haven't had them in a long time.

While these are reasons why everyone should go to see the Laser Show Spectacular, I think my personal favorite moment of the night was when they played The Devil Went Down to Georgia. I don't want to ever hear that song again without lasers and fireballs shooting into the summer sky.

I just finished watching that show Pushing Daisies for the first time. It is one of the most visually stunning shows I've seen in I don't know how long. Even though the show is about death, everything is so bright and whimsical and fantastic. I'm excited to have those pictures in my head as I go to sleep.

I'm glad you love the Laser Show as much as I do! Its close to my heart because I've been going since I was a wee lad. Although I must say I missed "Proud to be an American" which is a very special moment! I can't wait for the next color club event! And also, let's get on this movie watching club! I'm need more films in my life!
