I see that the BMG now have a banner on the SDMB. Cool. Like a good little doper, I clicked on it. But it takes me to the Altoids site. huh? ---

Doo-doo-doo-doo) Mobo85, if you don’t already know… The Blue man group’s not just an intel invention. They are certainly more widely known because of the ads that they have done recently, but they are actually a pretty fun musical group. I would definitely love to see them perform live sometime, from their website it sounds like they would be a riot. -Doug ---

I have seen the Blue Man Group’s show “Tubes” twice in New York. It’s one of the funniests performances I’ve ever seen. It’s been running for years. ---

Both the techs and the Reader advertising department say everything is fine. I have yet to see this ad for myself, so I can’t judge. Soon as I see it, I’ll see what I can find out. Sorry. your humble TubaDiva Adminstrator Who knows more about “pick it, click it” than anybody outside of Chicago should. ---

Yes, Doug, there is a Blue Man Group. They exist as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Blue Man Group! It would be as dreary as if there were no Dougs, etc., etc., etc. ---

Besides New York City, performances by representatives of the Blue Man Group “franchise” can also be seen in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
