Tickets! Tickets! Tickets! Cirque du Soleil Wednesday!

Ooooh la la. Cirque du Soleil is in town this week, and once again I'm giving away tickets to a show that I would LOVE to see. Damn.

My loss is your gain, mon freres (I never actually took French and it shows, non?) To win a pair of tickets to Wednesday's opening night performance, be the first to post the correct answer to the question below!

Saltimbanco
Cirque du Soleil
Santa Ana Star Center
May 14-17

For the tickets: The name "Saltimbanco" is taken from mushed-together Italian meaning what? (Please provide Italian words and English translation)

These tickets are a big deal -- please don't answer if you aren't 100% sure you can go!

Saltimbanco comes from the Italian "saltare in banco", which literally means "to jump on a bench."

answers.com, right?

Does Sarah have some sort of sixth sense for this? Some spidery sense of prey out there, waiting to be snared and eaten?

(Well, it's okay - I forgot I have a selection committee meeting for Habitat that night, so I would have had to give the tiks away anyhow....)

SA is lucky I don't drive and therefore I didn't volunteer what I knew way before her!

Radio stations sometimes require that a winner needs to wait 30 - 60 days before entering a new contest - not that I'm bitter or anything (sure...) - just trying to spread the wealth (I won a pair of tiks, fyi, but only because SA was a minute too late..)

It's been, oh, one day shy of a month since Sarah last won. Basically 30 days. By the time the show happens she'll be kosher, right?

Our in-house Italian was busy with the DCF dating affair. SA is double lucky.

Singles affair. I'm jumping to conlusions here on my bench.

Sounds like you just signed up the DCF to a 30 day free ticket rule - that's a fair enough number of days to wait - (of course, then you can have the "be the sixth blogger with the correct info" just to see how fast people can cut and paste)
