We just got back from our
Cirque du Soleil TOTEM outing, and while the first half was great, the second part was totally weak. They apparently brought out all the good stuff in the beginning because during intermission, they were offering tickets at 50% off in case you wanted some friends to see this awesome show — not knowing the rest basically sucked. This was the second time we've seen a Cirque du Soleil performance, and both times were not really impressive.
No time for gaming or DVR watching today, so that means we'll have to redouble our efforts tomorrow.
