ESKIMO JOE’S AND GOLDEN DRAGONS

Once again, Carol and Steve outdid themselves as tour guides. Steve e-mailed me wanting to know if we wanted to go to a Chinese Acrobat performance with them and, of course, I said yes. And, of course, we had to have dinner before the performance.

IMG_7716 Eskimo Joe’s is in Stillwater, OK, (home of OSU) and is a famous burger joint and bar. Two buddies opened the bar in 1975 and came up with the name and the logo – Eskimo Joe and his faithful dog, Buffy. In 1984, after the drinking age was raised from 18 to 21, Eskimo Joe’s became a full service restaurant. One of the owners joked, “I was thrilled to find out in 1984 that more people eat every day than drink everyday!”

Contortion How can I describe the Golden Dragon Chinese Acrobats? They were so fabulous that if you ever get a chance to see them, you really must go. How they can contort their bodies with such control and precision is truly amazing.

Tower_of_Chairs This guy is truly nuts (IMO). Balancing on seven chairs high above the ground. Once again, his control is wonderful to watch.

How many of you could pedal a bike with eight other people on it?There were so many acts and so much beauty. Thank you so much Carol and Steve for thinking of us. We would definitely go to their show again.
