Last night Casey and I attending the Grand Forks performance of Cirque du Soleil’s Delirium, their traveling concert featuring remixed music from other Cirque shows. This was the first time we’ve seen one of their performances, and it was, in a word, amazing. The set for Delirium is huge, and plays an integral part in […]

I’m guessing the problem is one of the following: either distributors are slow at restocking the shelves […]
