Jim during his own juggling show..He had them eating out of his hand...which is pretty gross if you think about it.
Miles as the Pink Gorilla...very popular.

The nectar of God!O'Fallon, Mo is bigger than I thought it would be. On the map it was just a dot. But this town is big. A suburb in every way. They have every chain store in America along Hwy K. Makes it convenient when we drove into the show today and need to stop by Wal-Mart for supplies, The home depot for bricks to break on Miles' belly, UHaul for boxes to put Victor in for the Spear Box trick, gas, and food for lunch and snacks. All on one 8 mile strip.
The three shows were awesome. The first one was a challenge because across the fairgrounds in perfect acoustic range was the headline band stage with there speakers as tall as me. The band was playing all through our first show so it broke the connection I needed with the audience time and again. Still it went OK. The next two shows were perfect. All went really well and the audiences kept growing through out the show time. The last show was just and hour before the big fireworks display so it was beyond packed. That made for a super terrific audience.
Here are some notes I left out in past blogs…..
We passed Whirlpool factory, John Deer factory, and Chrsysler.
July 1 so tired my inner compass is messed up and I head North instead of South on our way to Willard.
Bridge Over Mississippi from Illinois to Indiana was out we had to go around.
Heard a great quote on the radio attributed to CK Chesterson, “Tolerance of everything is a virtue of a man who has no principals.”
One gas station to entice people in had a big sign that said, “We have the best looking cashiers.”
Nebraska has oil pumps….I didn’t know they had oil.
Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, were all green. Usually they are golden brown this time of year…..darn global cooling.
