Serious post.  None of this creative writing stuff.  I’m spending a couple days out in Las Vegas for the Webmaster World Conference.  So far the week has been amazing, we have seen many presenters, although my favorite would have to be the presentation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) and Cloud Computing by Mike Culver.  It was very thorough and I found much of what he was saying very innovative and helpful.  He was concise and to the point.

However, away from work.  Last night I saw the Cirque Du Soleil Performance Ka.

It was one of the most amazing things I think I’ve ever experienced.  Cirque’s Website describes Ka as “a heroic journey of love and conflict, set within a dynamic theatrical landscape, as an entire empire appears on KÀ’s colossal stage and a captivating display of acrobatics envelops the audience”.  I would totally agree with that.  The practice and grace that is involved in these shows is completely amazing.  All of the choreographed dancing and acrobatics was so perfectly timed and tied together that I could hardly handle it.  I really enjoyed that there was always something going on and all of the performers were always in character.  I was in the front row and I watched one of the girls when she was hiding offstage (almost at my feet) and she was peeking over the stage and giggling at the things people were doing on stage.

Overall I found it to be not only a fantastic stage show but also an amazing show of acrobatics and planning.  It is truly amazing what the body can do and sometimes we forget in today’s world of what the body is capable of.  Thanks Cirque Du Soleil for reminding me.  =)
