Originally Posted By kennect Well Beamer, Kooza for Atlanta is now just a memory...Boy did they decide to go out on a day that will never be forgotten by me....Snow and rain along with anything else you can think of...Not at all what I thought the final day might be like....Long story for the blog but for the moment I am going to bed with no alarm set...I may wake up by Wednesday!

I am partial to standards after training one puppy for a week. In terms of smarts, they leave Labs in the dust in how fast they learn. Speaking of handsome, you are quite a stunning and distinguished looking guy yourself, kennect! Thanks for the inside look at Cirque. I've really enjoyed your thread and blog.
Originally Posted By kennect Oh Beamer, How kind you are... To give you the scoop...Evan came to Atlanta as a Manpower employee and left Atlanta as a Cirque employee...Part of the confusion that you are technically working for Manpower but you have the Cirque bosses you have to put up with...Meaning, if you actually worked a show with Evan you would see him constantly on the job...Great guy and I am sure he will be a big plus to the Cirque team..He has a great sense of humor that I think will make him a huge hit with any employee's under him... Ed, is a standard weighing in at about seventy pounds...He is a total mess but very loveable in the process..He was a rescue that we got when he was three years old...Long story that is rather sad...Funny thing with him he loves being out in public with people...He behaves perfectly in that type situation...At home he is out of control...He has a very very loud mouth...Had I been able, say, to take him to Cirque he would have been the perfect gentleman while there and everyone would have loved him... Thanks for the comment on my photo...These days I am feeling very old and tired plus I am looking more and more like my grandfather...Sad part is that is probably the first photo taken of me in the last thirty years... Still there are another good hundred or so photo's to come...Will let you know when I get them up...

Originally Posted By kennect The experience was more than I expected Rsey103...I figured going in that it wasn't going to be all pretty and perfect...Yes, I would do it again...But differently...I would take more time to make a better effort to get to know the people involved...Meaning the Cirque/Manpower people along with the local hires...All of them, as a whole, were great to interact with...One problem with that was the idea there were just so many people to deal with...I would say for any Cirque fan that has the opp. to work a Cirque touring show, do it!
Originally Posted By kennect Beamer, I forgot to say this about Evan...From what I understand he is going with Cirque's newest touring show...Apparently some concerns about his French so he, so I was told, won't be showing up until the show hits the states...I got the idea he isn't going to be your basic Cirque supervisor, something a step up...I want to say he told me his job would be "front manager" meaning the whole concessions area....Of course all of my info is hearsay....Apparently though he will be on site with the touring show...Hopefully, Evo will be a step up from Kooza....It would be fun it the show comes to Atlanta in two years and he is there...I would love to torture him again for a couple of months! Seriously though, he is a fun, nice and understanding person....
Originally Posted By kennect Well that is the rumored name and when I mentioned it at Kooza I was asked where did here it...It isn't the biggest secret in the world but I wouldn't be suprised it they pulled out a new name at the last minute...EVO makes sense based on the idea of what the show is themed around...
Originally Posted By kennect Just for you Cirque fans...The entire show of KA is up on youtube...Professionally shot by Cirque and apparently geared towards a German audience...Catch it before it gets pulled...Stunning show...
