the title 'circus of nero' was taken from a circus built in ancient rome, near where st. peter's basilica is. it was supposedly a really neat place. there was a big obelisk in the middle, which is central to the point in the story, and later, old st. peter's basilica was built over the circus, by constantine. but the major selling point is the obelisk, which, when cap and salwa reconstruct the circus of nero, serves as one of the most important locations spanning over all three arcs of the story. i could say why, but that would be a spoiler.
tomorrow night at midnight is the beginning! i hope i can get in like 3000 on that first night alone. obama is speaking at the csn campus on thursday, i have tickets to go see him but i'm not sure if i want to. maybe i should just go home and write like a mofo.
