Cirque du Soleil, what can I say; it was AWESOME. They had everything; sparkling costumes, flying people, a midget dressed up as MJ's chimp, a double jointed pole dancer, fog, a one-legged hip hop dancer, a monster-contortionist, pyrotechnics, afros, a full orchestra and two hot Asian women playing an electric guitar and an electric cello (very Wayne's World) and all of this was in front of their amazing sets and videos.
By the end of the show everyone was on their feet dancing and singing and shouting and cheering.... it was great. If you get a chance to go to this, you should.
They highlighted MJ's greats, his lesser known music, and his humanitarian concerns for racial equality, environmental protection and feeding starving children. After the show people were so pumped up on the "Man-in-the-Mirror-effect" that they were even giving money to the bums. Incredible.
Since I never got to see MJ live, this was definitely the next best thing. This also bumped me back into the wife with the awesome surprises from my Japanese-husband reputation. SCORE

Speaking of pole dancing (and MJ, incidentally),
This past Saturday I drove down to Orlando to see my friend compete in the 1st Annual Orlando Pole Fitness Competition. She did wonderfully, btw.
Anyway, it was AWESOME. Everyone there was so cool, it made me long for an alternative lifestyle (I want to run away and join the Cirque). They had judges who I've seen on TV too; Stephen Retchless-- the dude from America's Got Talent, Natasha Wang, who I saw on The View (omg, omg, I breathed the same air as someone who breathed the same air as the women on The View), and this other women who was recently on CBS from the Jungle Cirque du Soleil. So the judges did a showcase after the competition.
I think I have a girl crush now:
In case you like watching pole dance as much as I do now, here is the lovely women who beat my friend. She did super well
