I went to see a Cirque du Soleil show in Orlando last night.

What an awesome show! Those acrobats perform feats that seem to defy gravity. One of the opening acts was a group of very young performers spinning an hourglass-shaped wooden cone with strings, and they were just amazing.

The family really enjoyed the show.

That's an amazing show. I've seen it twice. The trampoline stuff and Chinese yo-yos were unreal.

By comparison, I have the physical agility of pine bark mulch.

Thank you for enjoying the show. Please go again and again and again.

I'd love to tell you why I said that, but I'm bound by an NDA and a thick corporate manual that says, "If you're not in the PR department, don't talk publicly about the company's business."

Thank you for your support.

Yes, it was awesome. The previous show that depended heavily upon the trampolines was even better.

The acrobats on trampolines were the grand finale, so to speak, and yes, they were unbelievable. The timing and aerial work were incredible.

First rule of CdS is don't talk about CdS? Your secret's safe with me. Been a few years, but it's one of the most impressive displays of human ability I've ever seen.

We saw Allegrea a couple years ago. Truly amazing, and hope to see some of the other shows eventually.

We saw O in Las Vegas a few years ago when we were there getting married. It was fantastic. Helped that a friend of the family gave us AMAZING tickets as a gift. Might be the entertainment director at the Bellagio or something (wish WE knew him!)

Dead center, about 8 rows from the front.

When we go back to Vegas I'd definitely like to see another one. Hell, I'd go see O again!

I've seen a bunch of the Cirque shows, including La Nouba. The guy on the mountain bike kinda blew me away. I can ride a bike, and you can't do those things on a bike.

So, we can add this to the "Other E36 M3 to do at Disney" file?

This is waaaaaaay better than Disney.
