Hot all over

Well, last week was a roller-coaster ride of emotions. First we went to Las Vegas for the Beatles show at the Mirage. Larry (the lead guitarist for Dave's Garage) has been telling me for months that it was great and he was right! I was expecting a tribute band for some reason (we didn't read the whole marque) and got blown away by all of the acrobatics, high-flying and comedy routines woven into a story about Great Britain during the WWII decade. All, of course, held together with the great music of the Beatles.

On the way out, after the show, we noticed that underneath the main title of "The Beatles" with Fab Four grahpics juming all over it was a sub-title: Cirque du Soleil. This, of course, clears things up a great deal. Especially like, "What does flying 20' through the air between trampolines have to do with anything?" It's just great fun to do AND amazing to watch!
