Hey friends, we got a little carried away in our last email and brought Cirque du Soleil’s LUZIA across the water. To clarify: the show is in Vancouver! Sorry for the mix-up, but we still have a pair of tickets to give away, and a pretty compelling reason to catch a ferry. Think breathtaking acrobatics in a dreamlike world inspired by Mexico. Take a peek at the magic, then enter and share the giveaway with your besties for extra entries!*
