Anniversary Adventures

The show this weekend was good. In general I really like early Beatles music. I'm not a huge fan of the music they wrote/sang while drugged up. So, there was a little bit too much of that in it for me. But overall the show was good and entertaining. The acrobatics were amazing and in true Cirque fashion there were a few parts of the show that I just didn't get. Maybe I am not artsy enough.


A few things I learned this weekend on the Las Vegas strip (we don't go down there much, so it is always an eye opener):

1. VERY, VERY, VERY short skirts are in style. No matter the size of the girl, she was wearing a short skirt. I would say 1 in 10 girls looked decent in them. One girl's skirt was so short she had to hold it down while walking, so she didn't show her down there parts. (I have to wonder how sanitary it is to sit down while wearing one of these skirts)

2. Short bubble skirts are also popular. I remember these from when my oldest sister was in high school. I think she wore one to one of her formals. I don't think I will be purchasing one.

3. You don't have to be attractive to get into a night club. When were were walking back to our room after the show, we passed by lines of people waiting to get into a club at the Wynn. Most were not what I would consider cute.

4. I have a sign on the back of my head that says, "Please kick my seat during the entire performance, I love it." What is it with people? Do they not realize someone is sitting in front of them? At one point in the show the girl behind me had her feet up on my seat with her toes touching my head. GROSS!! Matt got up and asked her to put her feet down. She did.

Our room at the Encore was very nice. And I really liked how they decorated the hotel/casino. Not Vegas style at all. Kind of art deco. We had a great anniversary. And even slept in a bit on Saturday. That was a treat.

i'm so glad you had fun. and not understanding cirque doesn't mean you aren't artsy enough, it just means you aren't stupid enough to fall for something some french guy decided was "art" because he couldn't think of anything else to choreograph during that part of the show.

Happy Anniversary. Glad you had a time away to just be together. Went to the Fab Four show a few years ago, basically four guys taking on the roles of the Beatles. It was quite good actually. Wonder if this is the same thing?
