I’m Running Away to Join the Cat Circus, Which is a Real Thing

I'm leaving the daily grind behind and joining the cat circus right meow!

This is exactly why I love the Internet so much. You can find everything! One of my friends on Facebook shared this posting she found on Craigslist for a Tour Assistant and I was floored. It wasn't for a band or a comedian, it was for Samantha Martin and the Acro-Cats. Be still my heart! I'm in! How about you? Here are the requirements:
