On April 2, 2002 - Mommy, Daddy and I (Nathan) went to the Assembly Hall in Champaign to see Sesame Street Live! We won 4 front-row floor tickets - WOW! Not only did I have a great time, I got to meet Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Baby Bear in a special room where only about 15 other kids were there! And not only that, I got on TV! I now have 3 seconds of my 15 minutes of fame taken care of!

During the show, we were SO CLOSE to everything. Many of the characters came off stage and was right in front of me - I even got to touch some of them! FUN FUN FUN FUN! Anyway, below are some of the picture highlights of this event.

	OK - I'm getting ready to go. I'm very excited!

	OH! Guess who is over there across the room! MOMMY MOMMY take me over there!
	It's the COOKIE MONSTER! He is fuzzy!
	I did a good performance for the TV camera. (See the head there in the lower left hand corner - that is the camera man!)
	Mommy and Daddy was smart enough to set the VCR before we left - this is what was on it.
	WOW - I love the Cookie Monster. I wonder who will come next?
	IT IS ELMO AND BABY BEAR
	I'm having fun now - and the show hasn't even started yet!
	Daddy couldn't get his camera ready fast enough - so I don't have a good picture of Elmo holding me - but that's OK.
	Now Baby Bear is holding me.

Now, on to our floor seats to watch the show.


Where is Waldo? Can you find mommy & Nathan in the picture above? (hint: look at the arrow.)
	See what daddy bought me - my first Elmo flash light.
	Ok mommy, when does the show start?
	Was that Roxy Marie? I'm not sure.
	It's Zoe, Elmo, Oscar the Grouch and Grundgetta
	Why hello again Elmo! Remember me from earlier?
	ZOOM - who was that?
	Hello everyone!
	This is fun. . .
	It is Big Bird and Snuggleupagus - and Snuggleupagus is sick. . . :-(
	LOOK - Bert and Ernie are clowns!
	It's a circus! YEAAA!!
