There were contortionists:
People balancing on balls who were being held by other people balancing on balls:
A dude wearing a thong and doing handstands on 14 stacked chairs:
Four guys on a tightrope:
A trapeze artist:
Two guys on a big steel wheel thing that turns and they jump off of it and cause your heart to leap into your throat:
In addition to these amazing acts, there were several characters who were absolutely hilarious and spent their time making the audience laugh...and they were seriously funny...not, "oh geez, I'll laugh to be polite." At one point, they made an audience member's chair shoot up into the air...completely unexpectedly. She was laughing so hard I thought she was going to fall off the chair. It was a fabulous night and something I would recommend anyone to do...
Wednesday, I spent the night running errands. We had a holiday party on Thursday and I had offered to bring lasagna, not thinking about it logistically. I tried to make the lasagna in the crock-pot, but when I got home to grab it on Thursday evening, IT was completely burned and gross. So I freaked out, thinking "what can I bring?!" and quickly made a huge pot of spaghetti. Even so, I was 2 hours late to the party...when I walked in, the VP of the digital team quickly took me under his wing and told me that he wishes he had known because he would have told me to forget the food and just come to the party. He told me multiple times that night that I didn't need to be stressed around the people on that team ever. He was super nice. We had a white elephant exchange at the party...I gave a Snuggie for dogs in hot pink:

It was the hit of the party. In return, I recieved a CD from Susan Boyle, the woman who took over Britain's Got Talent...for anyone who hasn't watched this, please do...one of the best feel good clips of the year. The clip is here:
So anyway, I got her CD and a $15 gift card to Starbucks...both pretty sweet. Even funnier and keeping with the Snuggie theme, on Friday, our rep from Amazon brought us all Snuggies with the Amazon logo on them. I always laughed that I would never buy a Snuggie, but it is one of the coolest things I own now. Remember, it's the blanket with sleeves!!!!
