varekai

on sunday i went and saw cirque du soleil’s varekai show.

FUCKING AMAZING.

seriously. it was incredible. the costumes of all the wierd little residents of this cane pole underworld were so bright and flashy and full of wierd little tendrils that stuck out all over the place. and the aerial acts were amazing. these russian men that flung themselves all thru the air in bright red costumes with fantastic headdresses. i took a picture with my action camera thing so we shall see if that comes out at all. and i got the program so when i get home i’ll scan a picture or two to put up. too bad i was too lazy and busy curling my hair to do it yesterday. =P

i bought a magnet and the soundtrack too. i couldn’t stop myself. 1) the music was awesome. and 2) i love magnets.

it was just so gorgeous and made me so jealous of people who can DO that sort of thing. i mean fucking ay that girl was flexible and those men with all the muscles and the flinging thru the air and the stylized grippy things they did while suspended. and the costumes were just so very cool. and most of them looked kind of like they were sewn into them, they were that crazy in appearence and with such a high tightness factor. so now i want to join the circus. not admittedly to be in it. cause, hell no i can’t do that stuff. but wouldn’t it be so neat to work for them and get to see more shows and have a job that was INTERESTING? maybe the dream is better than the reality. grass is greener and all that, and really is the grass in canada THAT much greener? i just don’t know. i’ve never been to canada.

well if any of you want to see something incredible i recommend going. it’s totally worth every penny. although the cheapest seats are $45.00. but all of the vantage points are good in my opinion, none of the seats were bad. and it’s in this huge blue and yellow tent in the parking lot at the PacBell stadium. so it’s fun and really like a circus and everything. here’s the ticket info. parking right next to it in the same parking lot is $15.00 for the event, which was certainly the easiest though maybe most expensive option. but you can take BART or park in one of the other lots a little further away and walk in. I don’t know why i bother, i totally know none of you are going to go anyway. sigh. whatevs yo. =)

p.s. though alegria, is coming to san francisco eventually someday so maybe when i know more i will adverize again and see if anyone wants to go to it. i am totally going again. and again. and next time we go to vegas, hell yeah i am plunking down that 100 bucks and seeing “O”.
