[ACROBATS] I accepted this Anti-Gravity "Pick of the Week" assignment solely on the strength of the name. "Anti-Gravity" conjured in my creative mind images of sadomasochistic bygone acquaintances' experimental use of the man-tranquilizer known as the gravity bong (and in one unforgettably comical occurrence, the dreaded reverse-gravity bong). I figured if Anti-Gravity turned out to be half as entertaining or scientifically intriguing as either the gravity or reverse-gravity bong, it would be an event not to be missed. From what I've gathered since, Anti-Gravity promises to deliver on both counts. Anti-Gravity is an "aerial entertainment ensemble" from New York that has staged over 400 international productions. Comprised of a world-class collection of athletes (including some ex-Olympians), gymnasts and dancers, they've performed their stunning aerial routine for such societal luminaries as Richard Branson, George Lucas, Bill Gates, Steven Forbes, Paul Newman and… Diddy and Daddy Yankee? (Don't laugh, it's in the press release)—perhaps because even the greatest minds of our generation need someone to explain the differences between the gravity bong (funny), reverse-gravity bong (even funnier), and Anti-Gravity (just plain fun).
