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!

Comment by ayax on May 12, 2008 at 5:20pm: answers.com, right?

Comment by shotsie on May 12, 2008 at 5:25pm: 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....)

Comment by ayax on May 12, 2008 at 5:28pm: SA is lucky I don't drive and therefore I didn't volunteer what I knew way before her!

Comment by shotsie on May 12, 2008 at 5:36pm: 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..)

Comment by sophie on May 12, 2008 at 5:48pm: 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?

Comment by ayax on May 12, 2008 at 5:49pm: Our in-house Italian was busy with the DCF dating affair. SA is double lucky.

Comment by ayax on May 12, 2008 at 5:54pm: Singles affair. I'm jumping to conlusions here on my bench.

Comment by shotsie on May 12, 2008 at 7:49pm: 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)
