Corteo in Atlanta

So last night, Tigger and I went to see Cirque de Soleil for the first time.

I admit at first I was interested but somewhat skeptical when Tigger told me the performance was to be about a funeral. Macabre I like but how could Cirque pull it off. Silly me.

Cirque created this elaborate dream state complete with incense, chandeliers and soulful music. And we couldn't have a better seat in the house - third row from the stage in front and two seats from the stage to our left. Pillows were falling in our lap! Unfortunately though, the sexy chandelier swinger with beautiful blue eyes did not fall in my lap like I hoped. :: waves at Tigger innocently ::

What made the night even more memorable was the pre-show. Before Cirque started while everyone was filing in we listened (no eavesdropping needed) to the duo behind us we later dubbed Will & Grace. "Will" discussed his new boyfriend and how happy he was. "Grace" talked of being self-absorbed and how "Will" changed after meeting the new beau. All we needed was Jack, Karen and some popcorn.

All in all a great night. And to quote "Will" who upon seeing the chandelier swinging ladies uttered these words, "That ... is ... SO ... HOT!" Oh yea!
