I've had a request for Circus photos, so I warn you, this is a very photo heavy post. Actually, it's a photo log of the entire show. Aries can fill you in on the rest of this spring's circus.
So, the Saturday show started with the Children's Circus, a set of bouncing tumbling hula-hooping young folks.

We are then introduced to our Hero and his means-well-yet-conniving Trickster mentor.

Trickster plunges The Big City into darkness as the plug supplying electricity to the whole city is pulled.
*Intermission*
In the darkness, glow poi operators try their best to use their flashlights to find things around the city. (This is my act! Isn't it pretty?)
![Glowing shapes](/sites/default/files/content/blog-import/bloggeruploads/Work_for_Circus_23.jpg)
The glow poi are scared away by a huge glowing generator, that brings in enough light start to fix the electrical problem.

Our Hero stumbles into a department store, where the mannequins come to life and hula hoop.

After seeing our Hero's extensive resume, is offered an interview, and then a job as a parade leader!
![Performers act on the floor](/sites/default/files/content/blog-import/bloggeruploads/Work_for_Circus_40.jpg)
And then our Hero leads the entire cast in a big parade! Hurray!
