Day 2 here the first weekend at the Calico Ghost Haunt 2010. After the first show JP (show with Olivia on the left) showed us a lizard he caught here. He was even nice enough to let Olivia hold it. We have watched JP grow up over the years. His father is a ranger down here and has been here since our first performance here 14 years ago.
After the last show today I asked the audience how many people had seen 3 or more of our shows either this weekend or over the years. About 50 people raised their hands. So I invited the "stalkers" up on stage after the show to take a picture with us. Notice the plate of spaghetti in front of me.....
It's a costume. Impressive.
It was windy all day today. kinda of cold too. Maybe we should roast Al Gore since Global warming wasn't doing it's thing today. We were in coats and jackets all the way up to our first show at 12:30 and we are in the middle of the Mojave. I didn't get a sun burn but I did get wind burned. Feels similar but without the radiating heat of a sunburn.
My Uncle Larry who lives in nearby Barstow came out ti visit today. He sat through two shows and as always was our biggest cheer leader. My aunt wasn't feeling well and couldn't make it. We hope she will feel better and join us next week.
There are a lot of acts up here this year. One is a Freak show or Sideshow performance down in the Silver bowl Stage. They have sword swallower's, glass walkers, bed of nails, and glass eaters. They even have a guy who lifts heavy object with a dull hook in his eye-sockets. Then he balances on a spear. A real freak show. We have met all the players and they are a very interesting foursome. They are indeed very nice folks.
Jim Wright, AKA Henry Fencepost, the town drunk, worked a little routine with Miles....Miles whipped his clown nose off his face with his bull whip: Thar will be on our video blog soon.
