The Cirque Bathrobe

Artists for Cirque Du Soleil’s ZAIA show got their official Cirque bathrobes yesterday. The photos on this post are not of the actual bathrobe – these are pictures a friend sent me making fun of how much I like my bathrobe. And I do love my Cirque bathrobe! It’s heavy and black with a hood and has a gigantic CDS logo in full color on the back. With the hood we all look like Obi Won Kenobi or Sylvester Stallone in Rocky.

Press conference and previews of ZAIA (Cirque Du Soleil in Macau, China at the Sands Venetian) presented May 29, 2008 at the new Cirque theater at the Venetian resort and casino.

We’re all on stage at the end, but hard to make any of us out.

A Cirque Birthday

It’s my birthday today (May 27 – a day ahead in China) which is not interesting in itself, but two kind of funny things:

Did you know you can send greeting cards from the Cirque Du Soleil website? A friend sent me this and I thought it was awesome: Cirque Du Soleil Conrad Birthday Card.

And if you wonder where I get my sense of humor from (most call it a curse…), my Mother played a good birthday trick on me. She had everyone and their brother send me a birthday message. So today (I’m a day ahead of the West because I’m living in China) I got swamped with birthday greeting emails. That was very fun.

And you know what I get to do on my birthday? Rehearse the newest Cirque Du Soleil show in their new theater. And THAT is the best birthday present of all!

FYI, the software WordPress is 5 years old on May 27.

Arriving in Macau

(Here should be some really cool pictures of everyone at the Montreal Airport yelling “Macau! Macau”. But I was too tired to take them.) Welcome to my most mundane blog post EV-er…

On March 23, 2008 the Cirque Du Soleil artists for “Macau I Cosmos” flew from Montreal, Canada to Hong Kong for relocation. Here’s an uneventful post about our initial relocation. The photos are with my old camera from the 1800’s, they are horrible, and none of them are the least bit interesting.
