We caught the spectacular performance of Cirque du Soleil's "Delirium" Tuesday night at the Save Mart Center. We had great seats smack in the center of row two on the floor and were completely entranced by the creativity in this amazing presentation.

I couldn't help thinking that this company could make an even bigger fortune as consultants to government. I would love to see the imagination, innovation and determination that went into this show applied to education, city planning, addressing the homeless issue. These people took the simplest things -- bolts of fabric, hula hoops, balloons, confetti, spotlights, white fabric -- and turned them into design elements that just boggle your brain. What they could do with a blighted neighborhood, low-income housing, downtown Fresno -- a high school full of underachievers -- I'd love to see them put their mark on those projects!

The conversation from the anonymous voices in the ladies room after the performance was pretty funny. Though not as insightful as Bee reviewer Donald Munro's assessment, they pretty much summed it up.
"So what was that all about?"
"I have no idea, but I liked it."
"I think it was about life."
"I think it was a dream."
"Whatever it was, it was great."
