Delirium

I wish I could think of something interesting to blog about, but I can't.  I started writing this whole long blog about how busy I am and such, but here's the much more concise version: I've been busy busy busy with school and work.  There, that was easy.

Raissa and I took Dad to Cirque du Soleil: Delirium in Denver last thursday.  It was, for lack of a better word, amazing.  The last time I saw Cirque du Soleil I saw Varekai, also in Denver and it too was, for lack of a better word, amazing.  While there were some common elements to both shows, they were also quite different from each other.  They both have great music, great visual effects, and great acrobatic performances.  This one, set inside the Pepsi Center, featured a large, long stage that went the length of the arena.  It was set up in the center of the center and people sat on both sides of it.  In front of the stage on each side was a retractable semi-opaque sheer fabric curtain onto which images were projected, but you could still see through it to the performers on the stage.  It made for a real feast for the eyes.  I think that whoever works on designing these shows must have about the coolest job in the world.  Everything is just so creative and imaginative.  If you have never been to a Cirque du Soleil show, you need to go to one.  Tickets aren't cheap, but I think they are worth every penny.

And for today's video, here's Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.
