Cirque Berzerk!

[furtech]

I finally discovered what the weird tent in the cornfield is about (cornfield=Los Angeles State Historic Park). Weird tent with flying eyeball spewing gouts of flame. Curious.



For weeks I've been driving past the weird tent on my way to otaku heaven purchase cultural references in Little Tokyo, but only just remembered to google it yesterday.

Turns out this is a goth-caberet-vaudville-Burning-Man-kindofthing . The event looks really cool and they extended their run through August 9th, so I could still theoretically go. The problem is who to go with: theater--no problem (plenty of people who'd be interested); bug or pet shows-- again, not a problem; art film-- no prob. But an edgy, goth-thing? I draw a blank. If I had been more on the ball I might have talked Iisaw & Carol into going, but durr-me, I hadn't looked it up.

The reviews are mixed, but the show sounds interesting. Here another review with more pics. Here's a decent blog-review.

Not sure if I'll make it down (only a week left), but I thought I'd throw it out there for anyone else who might find this interesting.

Ok I don't do LJ anymore but this was worth sneaking a return... I would totally go to this! I'm tempted to come down this Thursday however that night at midnight is the opening of GI Joe. I've never been tempted to go to a midnight showing but since I've been anticipating this movie since I was like...10.. I think I'll grant myself one midnight showing. However, I don't have a theater picked out. I wonder if the circus would get out early enough to hit a midnight showing of GIJoe at some interesting theater??

I was wondering what happened to you...

I don't think this goes very late, from the reviews. Probably gets out at eleven or a little before.

As for venues to see a film: this is Hollywood. Many venues. Mann's Chinese Theater would be a first choice. One of the reserved seat theaters would be a second choice. Check out The Bridge and the theaters at Universal Citywalk.

A blog one has to censor too much isn't worth the trouble.

Ah sounds perfect then! Now just to find out if I can afford it (two tickets, plus hotel, plus fuel etc turns into a $200 excursion) I'll decide tonight. :)

The Chinese Theater was my first choice too, in fact if it was doing a midnight showing I would be tempted to drive down just for the awesome venue regardless of the coincidental GothCircus happenings. However they are not showing it at midnight. I will check into the Bridge and Universal Citywalk. I knew you would know where the swankiest theaters were! Thank you! :)
Miss talking with you and keeping up on events! I hope everything is well and that we can get together sometime soon and chat.

I hear you on the blog-censoring...maybe you can create a Flickr account and just post pics (Hyenas!) and do more of a photo-blog. Or just start a blog/LJ and friending with people you don't need to censor yourself from. I have to admit that I was getting a more three-dimensional impression of you than our casual meetings allowed. I liked that.

Re:Cirque Berzerk-- I'm going on Thursday with iisaw! According to the reviews, there are no bad seats-- so you can get the $25 tix and have a great time. I'm told that the vaudville bar/caberet that runs before, after and through intermission is excellent also.

So if you're trying to keep this low: $50 for tix (2X$25); $60 motel (Motel 6 Hollywood or Sylmar #356--check in on your way down); plus $25 for movie tix. I'd recommend seeing the film at the Arclight Hollywood: reserved seating! No lines! (and I checked: GI Joe has a midnight show)

I thought about doing a photo Blog. Or another type of Blog. I'm unsure as to where to take those but I don't have much free time at the moment.
I appreciate the support and I do enjoy finding out more about you as well. I wish that we had more chances to meet up RL as that is always the most rewarding to me.

I guess you have figured out by now I couldn't come down. Money and time issues. The past few days have been insane. :P Today was spent stitching up the dog from a fight between two of ours. I have a rescue pit bull who is a darling dog except with Kody..they are mortal enemies. He's fine with everyone and everything else we've introduced him to. Figures the Malamute would be the problem, he is too stupid to be dominant and most of the other dogs who have been around the house just ignore him, the pit bull didn't take kindly to being snapped at all the time and thus it stated. Malamute 3, Pit Bull 1. I shall never underestimate the battle prowess of a retarded sled dog again. He's won every fight..well was winning till we pulled them apart. *sigh*

Thank you for the list of theaters and I would have LOVED seeing it down there. I'm headed down for the NARBC reptile show next month so I'll be down there then. I hope we can meet up! I miss talking with you!
