We left home base at 4:30AM and drove a little over 9 hours to Hermosa Beach, CA in the rain. Fighting a chest cold we arrived around 2pm at the theater and set up. The first night is a fundraiser for a local school and tomorrow will be a fundraiser for a service group.
We are sharing the stage with five other acts...a manipulation magic act, a marionette act, a mentalist act, and a comedy magic act. We are the illusion part of the show.
I have to admit I was pretty exhausted all day but we were able to pull off a pretty good show. It wasn't our best show ever but it was good.
Out of all the acts the newspapers choose our family act's photo for the calendars and advertisements for the show. I will scan them and post them here when we return.
One of the performer's wife didn't like the idea of our family, or any family, homeschooling kids. She was happy we sent them to public high school but when I told her it was because they had interest in band, athletics, and ROTC she became belligerent about anyone wanting to attend jROTC. "All war (visa vi all military)is evil and is a sin against God and man". It really wasn't a discussion. She just asked about our education process then preached her opinion not allowing an exchange of ideas. The she marched off leaving me and another performing just standing there staring at each other wondering what just happened.
That was it for excitement.
More to come.....
