With CirqueCon going on hiatus, we thought it would be fun to look
back and reflect on the journey we’ve taken. It’s been a long road with some bumps and
bruises but several stories to tell. So consider this a series of personal memories, which
solely reflect the views of the writer(s), with their own unique outlook (and, yes, biases).
