Cirque du Soliel

I had the privilege of getting tickets to Cirque du Soleil Kooza that was here in Atlanta and I knew immediately who I would take! Dustin and Erin! She had wanted to take him but wasn't sure if she could afford the tickets or not! Well, I got VIP tickets that were $215 each...for free! We had some other friends who were out there too, so it was a fun night! Before we went to the show, we went to FLIP for dinner!
Dustin and Erin
My favorite burger - Corned Beef with Beer Mustard, Buttered Cabbage and a Fried Egg!!!
And of course I had them send over 1 of each milk shake for them to taste! Pistachio with White Truffle Oil, Krispy Kreme and Nutella with Burnt Marshmallow
Dustin, Erin, Chef Richard Blais and Me
The Cirque du Soleil Tent

I got a few pictures even though during the show you aren't really allowed!
Here is the set
This was as we were getting to our seats...before the show started

This is Innocent the clown trying to find where he belongs Innocent meets Trickster who takes him on a journey
She was pretty amazing...on this swing!
The high wire guys!
These 3 ladies were amazing!
I got a little video clip of them in action

Part of our VIP pass was that we got to go back to the Tapis Rouge Suite during intermission. They had a dessert spread set up for us!
Dustin and Erin enjoying desserts during intermission!
The "dancing" couple on a unicycle
This was one of the characters in the show
There were 2 guys who did this crazy stuff with these wheels that went around in a circle...I can't explain it other than the fact that it was CRAZY and by far my favorite thing in the show!!!
This guy was cool...he climbed up on a stack of 12 chairs or so and balanced on them!
Here's a few video clips for the end of the show!

Bowing to the band
