Excitment-----So much going on!

We are off in less than 24 hours to our big (and it seems ever growing) summer tour. As I mentioned last blog we have solidly booked the Union Fair in Union, Maine and can be seen there on August 25 and 26. I have learned that we will be sharing the fairgrounds with the Flying Wallenda's, the ultra-famous circus family famous for their 4, 7, and 10 person pyramid on the high wire with no nets or safety equipment. The family faced tragedy in the 70s when they fell and two members perished. But they are true troopers and kept the old saying, "the show must go on" and they continue on today into the 7th generation. I am like a little child waiting for Christmas, waiting to meet them.

Believe it or not we are loaded. Just the final stuff to do. And we have a really exciting gig going on tonight. We will perform on the field at a baseball game including a really awesome fire-eating spectacular with flag, stilt walkers, fire, and more fire during the 7th inning. Marsyville Gold Sox Baseball minor or AAA ,or something like that, team.

Been receiving booking info from various acts for a fall-winter line-up if we end up with the Theater. A newspaper local to the theater interviewed me a bit about it today. It was exciting to share a bit of my vision.

Buttercup has timed his shedding perfectly ...he has begun to go through the process. (He won't miss shows next week.) Even his eyelids shed....he is actually mostly blind for a couple of days during the process. His lunchbox is packed ..... 5 fuzzy juicy snacks. Some people might worry about traveling with a snake....I'm more worried the mice might get out. Ball pythons don't bite, eat wires, and only poo and pee about once a week. Mice have no bladders so it's constant peeing, constant pooping, and they love wires, and they bite......so I'm taping the lid!

We have several new stunts, tricks and routines this year including a brand new routine where Princess Cynthia's costume changes spontaneously several times, A small beautiful wood box that is so heavy only little Victor can lift it...not even the strongest man in the audience, Buttercup's magical appearance, of course, Miles has added lasso stunts, and Princess Amelia has several new mind reading experiments...and we have added a roady/sound man/gofer/and all around nice guy, Nick, to the bunch (first non-family member in years)....it's going to be an awesome tour!
