Rainn Rain Go Away!

Today, Halloween, we performed at our regular haunt in Elk Grove, CA. We have been doing Oct 31 for the last 3 or 4 years. It's a Christian Church and as an alternative to the ghoulish and spooky they offer folks a chance for an uplifting message, games, food, and entertainment. They get thousands of visitors. We performed three shows with a church "stomp" group performing in between our acts. We brought in our own stage for all this. It rained all morning but tapered off and by show time the clouds, though ominous, were impotent. Well, that is they were until the last show where it started to rain mid-way through. We continued until it came down in sheets and ended the show 5 minutes early. The last thing we did was Jugglin' Jim juggling fire while on his 5' unicycle. It was cool...the rain caused the torches to smoke ravenously while still on fire. The audience stuck with us until then. Right now the stages and props are drenched and in the trailer waiting to be dried tomorrow.
