So we went to the barnum and Bailey Ringling Bro's Circus with our friends Jake and Karlee. It was raining and nasty all the way down from Logan, so we got to the Delta Center and rolled in. I peeked my head through one of the doors as we were a bit late getting there, and this wave of crazy music and bright lights hit me, freaking me out, really. We went up to the very top section in the corner, sat down, and were instantly overwhelmed by all the noise, bright lights, and crazy stuff going on way below. The clown were kinda weird, not really spooky as I had thought, but still kinda weird. The "Main Clown" was named Bello, and they had this retarded song -Bello-Brate, and it was annoying. They had the elephants (way cool) the acrobats were way cool- they kept flipping people up making this human stack off of a seesaw. Two people would jump on one side off of a ladder, launching the person standing on it backwards up onto three or four people already standing on each others shoulders. Crazy.
I had a thought- who actually works in a circus- who does that? Like, How do they get into it, run away with it, do they recruit, and what happens when they get out? I can just imagine the college or work application- Former work experience- Traveled with circus for three years...
Really. Really. Weird. and fascinatingly funny.
