Happy 5000th!

A friend of mine is on tour with Quidam and today will be their 5000th show!

 She is in this act, but not in this photo.

5000th!

Isn't that amazing?

Quidam was the first circus show I ever saw. And when I saw it, it had just premiered in Montreal. Of those 5000 shows, I was there when the performances scarcely numbered in the double digits!

It was also the first time I saw a German wheel in action. Of the many incredible acts in that show, German wheel and tissu (now that's a funny story, I should tell it some time) are the only two that my 10-year-old self chose to remember. If that isn't latching on to destiny, I don't know what is.

This is all your fault.

Happy Anniversary, Quidam!
