Got A Light?
November 19, 2001

We opened on Friday to great reviews. I think we will do well here. I also love Texas audiences, they cheer really loudly. I still remember Quidam's Houston opening night, four years ago, I had never heard so much noise in the Big Top during the bows, it was very powerful. Friday's Premiere party was in a place called "Gold Bar" in downtown Dallas. The music wasn't that great and the volume was much too loud to be able to hold any kind of conversation but we still made the best of it.

The best moment of the evening however had to be the fire breather who at first couldn't light his fire stick and then once he managed to light it, proceded to drop it on the podium on which he was dancing, putting it on fire. He must have used twenty small water bottles to put it out. Minutes later, a half dozen fire trucks showed up in front of the building. I guess it just wasn't his night... And it wasn't even Sunday!
