I just saw Saltimbanco the other day in Arizona and already I'm sure it holds the record for the coolest thing I've seen in my fifteen years of life. I hope I'm not the only one in this community who's seen a show of theirs or at least wanted to.

***LARGE DISCLAIMER***

eganic wanted me to post this in Discussion; he can't do it himself for some cryptic reason. He turned to me because we're Kokopelli Pals.

They're bringing Cirque du Soleil to Los Angeles (the city is helping to pay for the move) in order to generate more tourist revenue, not to mention the new jobs that'll be available.

I'll go see it when it comes. I've been to Vegas several times, but I've never got the chance to see them there.

I saw one of their shows when it was in Shanghai a few years ago. It was complete awesomeness.

I was watching knocked up the other day, and there's this one scene where they take mushrooms, and go see Cirque du Soleil.

I want to do that.

They came to Portland years back, and I went because someone I knew had bought tickets and then couldn't go, so they gave them to me. I was really quite impressed, it is remarkable.

You know I would love to see Cirque du Soleil.

I suppose I don't really seem like the type, but I do love dance and theater. I've seen classical ballet before and it was just an amazing thing to see.

Saw a really cool mime performance too, he was a classical mime but the talked about some things before and after the performance so that was neat.

I want to do that.
And, later, there was a great scene involving chairs.

PS: The rest of the movie sucked. :/

They are the best.... Although I have never seen them for real.
But that's what you get for living where I live :)

A year or two ago my family went on a trip to see the Beatles show, "Love," by Cirque du Soleil. Best Beatles experience I've ever had.

For some reason "going to the moon" strikes me as funny. There's just something hoakey about going to the moon for some reason.
