Sarah and I went to Cirque du
Soleil's Corteo this past Wednesday. Its in Marymoor Park quite near the main Microsoft campus. They setup
large circus tents in the park including a gift shop, overpriced concession stands, and long lined porta-potties. Despite all this the show was very entertaining and quite enjoyable. The show is
like a circus directed by Terry Gilliam or Tim Schafer and otherwise I'm not sure how to describe it, but I do recommend it.
