After playing hooky and not attending "Dead Man Walking," we did enjoy live entertainment after all. We were passing by the pulga at the old Aquarius Theater and noticed a tent up: "Circo Garcia." We had almost missed it, but we caught the 3:00 p.m. show, with only two remaining, one at 6:00 and one at 8:30. The palomitas were fresh, and acts were entertaining, and rigs and costumes all looked brand new--what a treat! This was a traditional, one-ring outfit, pretty much all one family doing everything, with the assistance of only one creature, star of the best dog act we may ever have seen. I won't describe it, so as not to spoil the entertainment for anyone else catching this entertainment, but the dog was great and was performing without visible cues of any kind. We suspect that whoever either owns the theater land or whoever runs the pulga contracted for the circus to appear there. I hope that business was good for everyone. We hadn't seen any posters or heard any announcements on the Tejano or norteƱa stations.
