Default Circus!

So, tonight I was able to attend the Shriner's Circus in St Paul. This was my very first circus ever, so that made it ten times better.
So, so wonderful! Katie and Fred were there, and it was great to catch up with them for a bit. The show itself was so much fun! It was exactly what I always hoped the circus owuld be, which probably sounds a little strange, but it had all of the sterotypes that I have wanted to see, so I really wasn't disappointed at all.
Okay, except for the fact that I was so excited to leave for the show, I forgot my camera. Whoops. Looks like I"ll just have to go back on Sunday and see it again.

Thats great!!

I just want to know how you managed to have not seen a Circus before. Were the clowns good and funny? What gags did they do?

I went to see the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus today. It was their Bellobration with Bello the clown. Bello is a masterful performer and was involved in so many of the stunts. It was a great show. But, I was surprised that they didn't have any white face clowns. If you go, make sure you get there early for their pre-show when you can see them up close from the main floor.
