Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey
So today, Jason, Jess, and I went to the Oracle Arena to watch the Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey circus, "The Greatest Show on Earth". Personally, I've seen better circuses on TV. But whatever. Anyways, it was pretty good, not extraordinary, but decent. It was pretty funny too. The food and souvenirs there are SUCH a ripoff though! And I'm not even talking about normal ripoffs. I'm talking about ripping off ripoffs. If that makes any sense. XD Oh well. But whatever. it was fun. Check my Facebook for pictures and videos.So anyways, they had horses (Shetland ones too), ponies, dogs, elephants, and tigers. The dogs were awesome! =D The ponies were cool too, and the horseback riders did tons of tricks, plus there were a few dressed up like royalty, so that was kind of cool. The elephants were what you'd expect, the cancan line or whatever, and elephant riders. I kind of expected more from the tigers though, all they did was jump from stand to stand and go on their hind legs. Jason was like, "I thought there'd be a flaming hoop or something!" And although that'd be cool, it'd be hecka dangerous, but a regular hoop wouldn't hurt. As for the people, there were tons of acrobats and trapeze artists, and those were pretty cool. A few clowns too, but they weren't really funny. I think my favorite part was probably the dogs. Which is kind of sad, since if I wanted to see a dog show, I would have went to a dog show. But the trapeze artists were cool, plus they had that big steel sphere that motorcycle riders go in. So all in all, it was pretty good, but not exemplary.
