Contrary to certain rumors going around the show actually did do pretty well this weekend.
Friday was a bust, not a lot of folks...but it was FREEZING out...Frankly, I didn't want to be outside on Friday night either with as cold as it was.
Saturday and Sunday saw our bleachers filled with people for all of the fight shows as well as the fire show.
The Demezarah (hope I'm spelling it correctly) Gypsies always had a crowd. Then again, when you've got four beautiful women on one stage, what do you expect?
The fight show was absolutely mind-blowing...we got a comment on how the fights were "much more complex" this year.
And the fire show...wow. I really can't even come up with words for it. I think all of the cheering that the crowd was doing pretty much said it all.
And the girls that were at the "Foil and Feather" this year made it look absolutely amazing. It's hard to believe that the set piece use was the same one that Grodon and Racheal named and started up by themselves 3 years ago and the hussies made theirs in the following year.
That being said, what made things not the same was not having ALL of my family out there (And I don't just mean the Jennies.)
I missed being able to blow kisses to Dawn, Lizzie and the rest of the Hussies and I missed having Chris and Sarah out there.
But, we made do with what we had. "The show must go on" proved pretty true this weekend.
This family will ALWAYS persevere. But, we are stronger as a whole and we all know that. You can't scare or intimidate or threaten us into doing otherwise.
I would follow these people anywhere, and I hope all of them know that.
