I want to run away and join the circus
MB and I went to see Lucent Dossier at the Edison last night. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G., kind of a steampunk hipster circus troupe. The show opened with a woman singing in a cage suspended from the ceiling. There were aerialists, magicians, acrobats and just plain freaky looking people tricked out in gorgeous pseudo-Victorian costumes (and not all of those people were part of the act). At $15, this show is a major bargain and worth being bleary eyed at work today (though next time I'm taking the next day off so I can get my circus on without worrying about work).
ETA: I forgot to mention they had an absinthe cart pushed around the club by a woman wearing fairy wings. The absinthe came in tiny bottles with tiny corks. It tasted pretty good--sweeter than I expected. But I think I'm feeling it today--there's tiny hammers banging against my skull from the inside.

Yeah- Wednesday night with Louis is my fav now- especially because they don't have a dress code that night... it used to be if you got there earlier (like 6) had the happy hour and a bite to eat, they did not charge cover. But things have been changing there lately so they may sweep the place out and make you pay..
Times are tough so I can understand why they might have to make people pay the cover. But next time I'll try getting there early and see how it goes.
