On becoming an aerialist

So there are a few ways you can tell when an aerial habit is forming. Bruises behind the knees are a definite indication. Shore shoulders instead of knees is another sign. The last clue...landing a gig at a night club in Boston to perform...duo lyra? Yes, that's right, I'm headed to Boston tonight for my first paid circus gig. And it will be in the air (no mom, not high in the air), not on the ground.

Mucho gusto to my friends Morgan and Mooch for handing me this opportunity. I'm excited and looking forward to it...and also a little nervous. Morgan, my lyra partner, says it should be a low key, ambient gig, not like being up on a stage with an audience watching. So that's cool. A nice way to get my feet wet and hopefully it will open the door to working more with the Boston Circus Guild in the future.
