1157 Johnson Street and the Cirque du Soleil

When I lived out in Victoria there were these Quebec dudes who used to entertain the tourist crowd in front of the Empress with their flaming bowling pin juggling act.

I had no idea that these bowling pin jugglers were destined for stardom.

Cirque du Soleil grew out of that juggling act out in Victoria.

Smoked up with those embryonic billionaires more than a few times.

Had not the slightest idea that they would eventually remake Las Vegas.

And remake the genre of circus entertainment.

But they did.

Hell, if I could have juggled a Stihl then the way I do now, everything might have been different.
