the circus ripoff

So the international all star circus made its way to Alaska, YAY right...
well for 20 bucks (plus Ticketmaster's, take it in the ass, convince charges) for an adult and 11 per child (+ some more take it in the ass charges) I was hopeing for a rocking ass show. the website talked about motorcycle tightrope, effing AWESOME, contortionists, jugglers, fun SHit...
well it was held at the UAF gym...thus the problems began
  1. Low ceiling, thus no motorcycles, no flying trapeze
  2. only room for one ring circus
  3. 1 dollar per program, yes the program that talked about the motorcycle tightrope
  4. 10 dollars for "authentic" light saber
  5. 6 dollars for a cartoon shaped balloon
  6. 2.50 for cold pretzels
  7. and last but certainly not least...10 bucks for this

Yes, 10 dollars. For an underdeveloped Polaroid with a terrible excuse for a Dora.
This photo looks like it was taken in a smokey bar, stupid. Never again. I cant wait to get to the states so my children can experience a real circus. First order of business upon return to lower 48...Ringling Bros. Circus!!!

I love it when the circus comes to our University. Hopefully, your kids will get to experience it soon.
