The Circus Came to Town!

You guys should have been there, it was great! V.E. unknowingly hosted two amazing circus acts on Monday. The first act was an awesome high-wire trapeze show. The performer climbed a lead route and then, mid-wall, demonstrated an awe-inspiring swan dive, only to be caught feet from the ground by a truly talented belayist. He repeated this feat numerous times for eager onlookers.
The main show was pure genius! The aforementioned belayer took center ring when she demonstrated high altitude yoga poses for the crowd. The climax of the show occurred when she performed "dog facing down" under the roof; and held that pose for 3 minutes! Grown men blushed and parents shielded the eyes of thier young. Just as circus go-ers were calming down, she finished her demonstration with a beautiful assent to the top of the route!
When asked if the show will return, V.E officials stated "I hope not."

I want to see the tutu doing a swan dive. That'd be something to see.

Sounds awesome! I hope to see a repeat performance today (Friday), despite VE officials' comments.
