It's funny how you often don't do things that are available close to home. I've always wanted to see the Tap Dogs perform since I saw a story about them on TV. Dein Perry is an Aussie guy that started the group in Newcastle (where I was born!) and they have risen to some degrees of fame and notoriety on the world stage. Just before we left for Tremblant we saw an ad on TV saying the Tap Dogs would be performing at Hamilton Place, not far from Oakville.

So last Saturday night Donna and I, Sean and Kim went off to see them. We had dinner in a nice little restaurant in Hess Village called the Lazy Flamingo... nice food, pleasant atmosphere and great company.

The show was excellent. It's just amazing how creative these guys were with their dancing. They used all sorts of complex stage props, rigs and lighting, and their use of water was quite incredible. We almost got a photo for the blog, but the usher came and chided Donna for having a camera in the theatre... yes, we're all very disappointed in you Donna!

After the show, we got introduced to Dimitri and his fabulous deserts! Thanks Kim! We might have to get to know Mr Dimitri a little better ourselves!
