The end of an era...  
Cirque is over.

It's really hard to believe the summer's done, but today we did the last show of the season.

The anticipation has definitely been building over the last few days. On Saturday morning, two of the sprites found out that I hadn't been thrown in yet. Before the end of the show, I was swimming. :P

Last night we had our official end-of-the-season party, with food and drinks. We also all got copies of what has got to be the most hilarious DVD ever made. I love it, because it's got some of the most memorable show moments of the entire summer. I just kept wondering how they managed to get video of ALL of those awesome/scary/memorable moments. The only thing I can think of that wasn't included was the Attack of the Giant Beetle a couple of weeks ago during preshow.

Today was a bit bittersweet. We only had three shows, so we had plenty of downtime for last photos and such. Everyone was pumped for the shows, too. The Zorbs miraculously held out, barely. Everyone was so energetic, and the sprites were absolutely hilarious! I have to hand it to them - today's two sprites in particular never failed to make me laugh, all summmer long. I bow to their comic genius. I had both cameras with me today. My old one in my pocket, and my nice one in my locker. Our crew chief took my nice one for the last show, and got photos whenever she wasn't doing something in the show. I only wish I'd gotten a full video of the show at some point this summer. :( I did, though, finally get pictures of me pulling bungee!

The last show was an absolute blast. We all just went out and had a ton of fun, laughed at a couple of awesome practical jokes (seriously, that island is going to smell like chumwater for a loooong time!) and jumped around and hooted and hollered.

I'll upload last day pics soon!

"Ladies and gentlemen... Cirque de la Mer!"

Yeah, there's a part in the preshow where the sprites go out to pick the audience participants, and right before they were about to go, this HUGE beetle flies up right in their faces. One of them started swatting at it and screaming like a girl. The other one totally picked up on it and started screaming and swatting with it at his hat - only he was deliberately missing the beetle and swatting the other guy instead. And just when the beetle looks like it's going to fly away, it comes right back. And we begin all over again. This went on for AT LEAST thirty seconds straight. Dear lord, I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face.

If you get a full video recording of the show, let me know, because I would really like a copy of it.
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on September 6th, 2005 03:22 pm (UTC)
I really want one, too! I'm hoping I can get a copy from Jess - he's got several shows on tape, I think.

Aw, sad! I wish I would've gone on a day you were working.

Where will they shove you off to now?

I'm not sure yet whether they'll keep me in L&S, or send me back to characters for the offseason. In the meantime, I'm doing Pets next weekend.

The DVD sounds cool! If you don't mind showing it to people/watching it again then I'd love to see it sometime. :)
