firefly + acrobats + 80's cartoon =

KA, the cirque du soleil show at MGM in Las Vegas.

i spent the weekend catching up with an old college friend and just sampled the sins of sin city: gluttony, sloth, greedy and just plain excess.

man.... lv is the picture of excess: money, lights, skin, alcohol, food, greed, *plastic* ... a great place to visit, but a weird place to live. I suppose it'll always be an experience, for better or worse.

anywhos, back to KA-- I've been to vegas many times, but they were family trips, with a large group of friends, so at the end i never got to do everything that i want to do. i suppose it's better, then there will be reason to visit again and again (i still want to ride the roller coaster on the Stratosphere =D.... wine'd and dine'd, then walk around the super expensive stores in my essential 'little black dress' .... or something like that). But you havent experienced vegas unless you've seen a show!

srly... i'm totally hooked, i want to see another one!

the moment you walk in, it's as if you've been tele-ported to a firefly spaceship filled with Dr Who's THE-FUTUREKIND type running the show with cave-man grunts and acrobatic powers. In the words of the doctor:

FANTASTIC!

the cast was great, the story was short simple and sweet. even the set became an entity to gush over! Overall, it felt like a big-budget movie (of the 80's video game genre) set in motion in front of you.

4.5 out of 5 jump-ropes

ps. can you tell i'm a sci-fi geek?
