Unbelievably with careful planning and sacrifice, I was able to complete my 1 hour weight training/cardio session in the gym. Knowing that I had a dinner show to go to in the evening with the parents, I requested to leave work early (seeing that I worked a full day yesterday) and got it approved no problem.

So, I completed biceps, chest, triceps and hamstrings followed by 15 min total cardio. Looking back, I think I should of put in more cardio to balance out the extra food I was going to eat in the evening.

Speaking of which, in the evening my parents got me tickets to go see a dinner show at the Stage West Hotel. The tickets were a birthday present to me and also an excuse for all of us to go out since my aunt was in town from Trinidad. So they more or less were trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Only thing is, the show that they were playing was for an "older crowd". Ya I mean OLD! Like in the 70's..The name of the show was "Viagara Falls". I think the name itself says it all...

Anyhow, the show obviously was not my taste and since the actors were American, they will sometimes throw in some old southern American humor where we Canadians kinda shrugged off the humor. As an example, when they mentioned political terms such as "communist" and "socialism", one fifth of the crowd will be laughing. If I also recall, the last 10 min there was no comedy. No one was laughing and honestly quite painful....I understand that there may be American's in the crowd, but those political terms don't effect us Canadians. We like socialism(our health care).... =)

The layout of the stage and the hall where everyone eats was great. Ample seating area was very comfortable and the service was good. However, the food was not the best (most of the "hot" food was cold), but since it was a buffet, I still had the option to choose what I wanted. I think I took a taste of everything. I won't lie, my plate was filled, "mountain high". Not good when your trying to get a six pack... ;-)

To be fair with Stage West, I would rate the venue and show separately. I give the theater a 7.5, but gonna have to give the show "Viagara falls" a 3 out of 10. I seriously couldn't wait till it was done and is definitely geared for an American male/female that is over 70 years old...(yes twice my age). Yes, it was that bad....

Stage West Layout. - Quite impressive : no obstructed views
Verdict : 7.5 out of 10 (food could be better and not cold)
