I have not been to the circus in years. I don't know if I have ever taken Tom or not. I remember taking my oldest when he was about 3 (he's 35 now so that was a LONG time ago) the in your face sales was what totally turned me off and I never cared to go back. I actually had a confrontation with one guy and he would not back off. (and I was poor back then, with the cost of everything I am getting poor again fast) I think we are going to go to Ringling Bothers next month. See you soon! Hey Lady!

One of there teachers is a 3rd generation circus performer. When I mentioned the circus life not being very glamerous I was thinking how expensive everything is when you go to the circus but I bet the performers don't get paid that well. I bet your brother in law has many stories-I would love to hear them!

He was an MC and has tons of stories about extremely interesting people. It might not be a glamorous life, but it would beat a 9-5 at a dest anyday IMO. So what circus are Jake and Molly in? Is it one we could go see? When my brother in law was like 20 or so, he ran off and joined the circus in Canada - for real. He was an MC and has tons of stories about extremely interesting people.

KAREN--I am going to check that out. I wonder about the life of a circus performer. I am sure its not very glamerous. I really like Cirque de soliel better than the regular circus.

Oh god, I need my house back lol I've never taken the younger kids to the circus either, they beg to go, but I feel the same as you about it all. But, you know, what a great experience for your kids to see what the performers can do with all they learn. Did I ever tell you that one of the guys I went to school with went to Circus school and then on to circus "college" in Europe? He is a juggler now, I think he works in Las Vegas. Joel Heidtman.
