NOW I get it

[tiamatlady]

Just back from seeing this, with elvendoll, sol3 and zerokey

I finally get the love of it that some people have. Seriously, the videos kinda bored me, I saw the prettiness of it, but I didn't really SEE it. We had great seats, and saw pretty much everything. The clown guy wasn't John, the REALLY funny guy from the tape maudlinkitty, but he was VERY good, and he rubbed spud's head. *giggle*

Yeah, I'd go again, and now I really want to see Alegria.

There was a YUMMY boy, who did some arial rope things, and the German Wheel. *DROOL*

You should see Mystere in Vegas. One of the best Cirque shows I have ever seen. Slowly I have started seeing them all but Quidam just didn't interest me for some reason.

I'd like to see "O" and Mysterie.
sol3 was talking about seeing everything there all at once, if the tours ever hit Vegas. We should plan on doing this, you and I should save just a little every week, go out for a week, stay at the Luxor, and see the shows (and *cough* gamble *cough cough*)

The one thing I refuse to consider selling is Anubis.
I seem to be picking out everything else that isn't strapped down to sell.

BTW - We'd have to see Wayne Newton. It's a moral imperative.

no, cirque is opening two more shows in vegas, so by 2004, there will be four shows there. thats what he was talking about : )

My friend Lisa just went to Vegas a couple of months ago and saw "O". She said it was amazing. I haven't heard much about their new show which a lot of people had tickets for this summer. Also, I never hear much about La Nouba at DIsney even though their theater is a huge part of Downtown Disney.

As for the saving money, Iwould love to do this but see my LJ post about budgets. I did figure out my questions I was going to ask you so no worries there. BUt that des sound tempting. Especially around the holidays when I will have money and airfair to Vegas goes way down.

Wayne Newton? Are you sure you wouldn' want to see Sigfried and Roy instead? :) Or how about Pen and Teller?

[tiamatlady]

We both have money issues.
I did read your LJ, and i figured if I can save $5 here and there, so can you, and we can go before tax season kicks in, like January or something.
I'm not talking about next week.

And I want to see ALL the shows, I just like the idea of seeing Wayne. *giggle*

was it this German Wheel guy by any chance?

(I know it's a bad picture, but it's taken directly from the Quidam DVD, so it should be easy enough to figure out.)

...and the main clown guy was different? (the guy pictured here.)

damn. he was one of the clowns when Dralion was in town last year. amazing performer...

[xany.livejournal.com]

...or was this the clown that you were referring to? (who wasn't there)

yes, I'm a fanboy. anyone wanna give me a ticket, so I can see it in person?

[tiamatlady]

Um, I think THAT was the same guy, the target clown.
Looks pretty much the same.

[maudlinkitty.livejournal.com]

Nope, John Gilkey left Quidam before going to Dralion to bail out their comedy act. (The original comedy act had some visa issues or something, so they needed to create a new act and called him in.) At the end of their stint in Boston, he handed over the reigns to a new clown and went and joined Verakai, in which he is the majordomo.

Yes, I love John.

[tiamatlady]

Yup, that's John, Kat's favorite.
And it definately wasn't him - that clown now is a black guy *grin*

[tiamatlady]

That's the German Wheel, and it MIGHT be the same guy, but I'm not sure.
I didn't get a program, figuring it would be on the website, which it is not. If I get a chance I'll ask Spud and M if I can look at the one they got.
