a goodbye that came far too soon.

It's unfathomably terrible.
My circus (cirque de flambe) and their circus are broadly overlapping Venn diagrams, my heart aches for my carnie brethren, and all who were touched by them. So awful.

My spirit is in Seattle right now, flying towards our friends. It's been an extraordinary tragedy.

My god

I heard about this on NPR, but I had no idea that I knew the people involved. My heart aches for my circus peeps.

I have some phone calls to make.

Because circus people aren't just friends - they're family.

you read about these things and many times they never touch you. Then, this comes across the screen. I'm sorry for the loss of these amazing humans.

And for your loss as well. But for the grace of the gods...

It's almost always happening to someone else, but then statistics do their dance and then it isn't. It's you and yours and this is what it's like.

Not a friend, only a YouTube fan, but still horrified and sad. I'm so sorry.

I missed the wake on Thursday night, but I'm hoping the memorial tonight, the first, I'm sure, of many, brings together enough of their people for some closure.
