Cirque Des Fetes #9


008_8, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

All acts not in photos however trying to remember the run down. Winn's motorcycle ramp jumps, Next, a Damn good fire eater, Marinov Duo aerial, foot juggling display, ( Elaine Alex and Hans Klaus) , Limba the wonder Elephant and Co, Hansi's dogs, then as they've said for the past 20 years our so on the RBBB, "Ladies and Gentlemen hold on to your horses, here comes the Globo del Muerte"
Second half
Mixed liberty act, Aerial display (lyra and rings by Sophia and Louisa), leash cat act (black jaguar), Dieter's chair balancing, Bears, Wheel of destiny by Hans Peter Winn, Finale.
This is what I recall of the rundown less the clown gags and Dora the Explorer. I might add, nothing funny about popcorn unless in the possession of Barry Lubin. This group of clowns; I'm not sure what they were doing, but they actually made it quite humorous, come in and all. A couple of them kind of reminded me of a sane version of P. Petowski of the RBBB of days gone by. All in all this show with it's lighting and effects was quite entertaining.

P.S. This showed in a hockey puck arena seating around 3500. Normally they show in the Molson / Bell center with a much larger show seating 17500 which was apparently not available. Show concessions consisted of floss,corn and garbage. Grease joint and drinks were the arena's

"Here come the Globo del Mortes" indeed! And people call me sarcastic.
I mentioned these pictures to friend yesterday and he said that Soliel made a pitch to the owner of the big building (promoter of the date) who went for it.

A BLACK JAGUAR in the ring on a leash. That's a first as far as I know. They can be rough customers.

To R.Reynolds
About the lap kitty in question; He was quite large and had a sharp looking head. One of the nicest looking Jaguars I have seen.And yes they can be a hand full.This guy worked quite nice tho.
P.S.Buckles
I should have said 20 years or so "not consecutive"
