Re: [81attendees] Cirque

I saw it too.  I was worried that, given that it was free and Cirque
du Soleil, that you'd need to get there really early to get in, but I
think there is infinite capacity (everyone just stands around), so you
can get there at 9:30 PM (when it starts) and get in...it's just that
the earlier you come the better a view you'll get.  It is hard to see
some of it with tall people and people with kids on their shoulders in
front of you, but there are plenty of things that are high up that you
can see even if you're short and in the back of the crowd.  (we got
there about 9:20 PM).

Also, it's very confusing finding it, even though it's just a 10
minute walk or so from the convention center, so you might want to get
good instructions.
