This is from an e-mail I received from the CPDSA, an organization I used to skate with in New York City. Keep in mind that the parade runs from 111th street up to 142nd, right through the middle of Harlem...

Cirque du Mass Produced Crap
This has officially reached the point of ridiculous...
"CKX, Inc., its subsidiary Elvis Presley Enterprises and Cirque du Soleil have reached an agreement with MGM MIRAGE to create a permanent Elvis Presley show at the CityCenter hotel/casino, under construction in Las Vegas. The show is expected to open with the hotel in November 2009."
O.K., let's all count shall we? There's "Mystere" at Treasure Island (or the T.I.), "O" at the Bellagio, "Zumanity" at New York, New York, "Ka" at the MGM, and the new, downright sacrilegious "Love" at the Mirage, based on the music of the Beatles. Add to that the touring production of "Delirium" now in town, plus this new Elvis-based show. And if you want to expand your thinking, both Celine Dion's, "A New Day" at Caesar's and "Le Reve" at the Wynn were conceived by Dragone, also from Cirque. Does this town really need NINE Cirque du Soleil shows?
I guess all showgirl memorabilia will soon be replaced by cracked-out, 21st century clowns...
