Just when I think I’m over the whole “Cirque du Soleil” [LINK<\/a>] thing, that it’s just some expensive fake new age music cultural event, I go again and it blows my mind. It never ceases to amaze. Tonight was “Varekai” [LINK<\/a>] in downtown L.A.. They moved it from Santa Monica to the Staples Center a few years ago. So many things in life you can say, “I can do this”, or, “I can do that”. That’s what I like about Cirque du Soleil. There’s not a single thing in those shows I could possibly do. Well, maaaaybe the clown stuff. The seats were dead center and right by the sound board. If I was to pick a seat to sit in, it would have been these. I’m glad Cirque du Soleil exists. No animals either, and that’s a good thing. I still probably like “Quidam” the best. But that was my first.<\/p>\n , and you never forget your first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,27,9,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-concerts","category-friends","category-life","category-music"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1MOCs-4q","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chasethelight.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
