Immortal.

Apparently that's what Cirque du Solei thinks Michael Jackson is.
I saw tickets for this show advertised in October of 2010 and automatically thought of Kirk. He's a huge MJ fan, and I thought something like this show would be perfect for him. I saved to buy the tickets, and was so excited to buy them. Then after I did, I promptly got an email saying that it was January of 2012. I bought them for his Christmas present for 2011, so you can imagine my disappointment. I'd talked to Kirk about this show, and after I bought the tickets he told me that he didn't want to go to the show because it was to far away.  I replied "Well that would have been nice to know before I bought the tickets." I told him that I would just sell them and get my money back. Of course I didn't. I knew I could save them for the next Christmas, and he would forget about it. I hid them away in a safe place, and kept them all year long. Then, on Christmas morning, he opened them.  I couldn't tell how he really felt about it. He said he was excited, but he'll say it even if it isn't really true to not hurt my feelings. We (I) counted down the days till the show, then last night it was Date Night! We got all gussied up and headed to Sacramento with MJ music on the radio. The show was amazing! They had some amazing acts, with some very, very, very talented dancers. At one point of time there was a break dancer, tap dancers, and a ballet dancer on pointe. I didn't know where to watch! I was so torn on which dancer to watch.! There was a pole dancer..uh amazing! There were acrobats, and contortionist (I really don't know how bodies bend like that!) It was absolutely just unbelievable. I loved it. Kirk however..his reaction when I asked if he loved it was  "Eh....I enjoyed it.*silence. silence. silence* I love you." Yeah, not so much love on his part. Kind of a let down because I paid kind of a lot for tickets but..I loved it!
T- 3 days till Las Vegas!
