Day One Orange Grove Festival
We had a wonderful day today though I must admit it had a rough start. The hotel we are at turned out to have very rough beds. I mean hard wire spring in the back can't escape it painful. The breakfast was nothing more than a half-sized bear-claw and cranberry juice so we had to go to a gas station to get food. Last night we were told we could load our show in at 7am but the security folk shouldn't let us in until the organizer showed up at 8am. I was able to talk them into letting us into the loading dock but there we waited until a little after 8 when one of the organizers came and allowed us in. It was then a mad dash to load in the show. Since we were inside the convention hall we had a longer than usual hall in. But somehow, by the grace of God, we made showtime: 10AM.
The first show started at the same time the gates opened so we had an audience of mostly vendors waiting for customers. The second show was bigger. But our third show was spectacular.
James took his new stunt of laying down while balancing it on his chin a step further by re-standing up while balancing it.
Pink Gorilla, Perky the Penguin and Jim on Stilts did strolling as well.
I should mention that the Chick-fi-le (Spelling?) provided us with free chicken nuggets and sandwiches. I have a cute video on one of the guys doing a magic trick. It will be on the video blog.
