I got tickets to the dress-rehearsal of Kooza last night in Philadelphia. Working for the Cirque du Soleil has perks. And WOE!

You look at this picture and you’d think it was this awesome place to stay.
Looks great, expensive and well who wouldn’t want to live there right. It’s Philly, on the Delaware River and all that jazz. But just wait.

My life with the Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza gets weirder and weirder. I’ll have to drive a lift (Yes an IT guy driving a lift, what the fuck were they thinking of?) I work out of trailers, wear a hard hat, steel toe boots, carry construction tools around and gulp had to re-learn how to [...]

My first tour with Kooza is in Philadelphia. The birthplace of American Democracy, the American Revolution, Independence and was the US’ first capital. It was the home to Historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin and literary figures such as Edgar Allan Poe. But what do I care. First thing I wanted to try in [...]

Taxis and The Doorman

Yes this is gonna be a “Let’s all hate Toronto” diatribe. But seriously it’s 11h30 am and I’m already bored and I’ve done tons of shit. I’ve been to “The Bunker” aka the US Consulate to get my US work VISA, which is the purpose of this whole trip. Then I went back to my [...]

And it feels good. Because of my work at the Cirque du Soleil which means I’ll be working in the US for the next two years, I need an American phone number and if you read this blog I ranted about purchasing an iPod, well this iPod Nano just doesn’t cut it anymore, I needed [...]
