I won't say where but I worked at a certain Cabaret/Cirque/Variete Show for a year and a half. It was very dark in that tent. There wasn't any glow tape. People fell. Old People. It was funny.
Cheese of Nazareth! It still makes me giggle like a Stoner. One minute this tubby lady with a half-cocked Cosmo in her hand is ordering around her dumb-struck husband where to sit and then, boom. Down she goes. Dove like Louganis into a dark pit of 2 X 4's on table 105. And I think that's hilarious.
Call me a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but that's what they get for thinking the tip was included.

Hey Lady,
You should've been there tonight at our "emergency meeting." It was Part 1 of the Meetings. This one was all about medical emergencies.
The GM was talking about where to transport people in the case of a heart attack, or a performer in the case of a trapeze accident...
Some new girl brought up the question of what to do if someone was under Cardiac Arrest. All of the sudden a bunch of the people who've been around since you were there just started laughing hysterically. The new girl scolded all of those people, saying, "That was not funny. This is not a laughing matter." After she said that, most of us 'long-timers' laughed in our heads, then talked and laughed about it after the meeting.
I thought you might like to know that your spirit lives on, even without your presence.

Guess what. The tent is even darker now! And they painted the boards a lovely chocolate shade to make the step even less obvious!! The entire seating process consists of everyone squawking "WATCH YOUR STEP!" every half-second.
God, I miss you!!!
