Have you been?

One of the most incredible shows I have ever been to.

Amazing.

Take the best street performers, gymnasts and acrobats in the world and throw them together to see what they come up with.

Awesome evening.

Duh, Austin
Seen several different ones. Know someone who knows someone, etc. Really incredible operation. She did recruiting and HR. Interesting stories.

I have no idea where I am
I haven't seen them, but I'd like to.

I'm always impressed with performers who have way more coordination than myself. I bet they don't have to stop walking to zip up their jackets.

Seen them about a half dozen times. Allegria, Qidam, Saltim Banco, and a coupl others that escape me ast the moment

Saw them in both Montreal...(the only place to see it for real...) and in Seattle.

But yeah. Pretty incredible. TO be honest though, I did kind of burn out on it. I saw all those shows within the span of 2 or 3 years, so I did overdose on it a little.

I've seen several of the shows and they are pretty cool. If your woman's gonna make you go to a show, they are a good alternative to seeing Rent or something, these are at least entertaining. Zoomanity in Vegas was fun, anytime you see people chasing others around with dildos, you know some form of entertainment is on the way.

Wife and I saw Ka at MGM Grand in Vegas. Really cool show. Apparently there is a storyline but I didn't pick up on it at all. I just liked the visuals.

Sara is going tonight. I passed on her second ticket. It's cool and all, but the way you hear people carry on about it, I feel guilty going.

I saw the one with the giant trampoline beds and the floating midget woman.

There was a guy doing bicycle stunts at our one too. Awesome. Backwards wheelies! Kid's dream.

The show we saw was Saltimbanco. I didn't even realise there was different shows!

I'm drunk. Bye.
