Part 3 of Today's Posts





You will notice there are two other blog entries: a video by Miles and Lukas and a blog entry from a family that came out and saw our show.
It was HOT. We are under a heat wave out here so Mami and Titus stayed in the cool confines of the hotel.
I am surprised the crowds we had sat through the heat to watch our 45 minute to one hour show....but they did. And in all three shows they were pretty good sized crowds. I think with the pool and splash lagoon at the park I would've spent the whole day in the water. But many ventured over and caught the show.
Nick is off the DL and back in the air and did fantastic.
Though still in development (slowed down by the weather) we finally did a test run of the Bamboo
Illusion. Jim did a run through of his Samoan Fire Knife routine followed by us doing the production number of the illusion. The music is good, the idea is great, we still need some costumes for Victor (Brandon too for this week) and Jim. Also I am thinking of a production or magical appearance of the "girl" in the trick. (I know this means little to you because you haven't seen the trick. I can say that it has a couple of twists and turns that makes it pretty cool. Yes we have a video from today but it is not ready for release until the bugs are ironed out.
Talking about bugs this 1" long beetle was in my van today.
I got mail from home today which included a certificate for participating in World Circus Day in April. We are a registered circus. And little Miss Katelyn Pennington from London, KY came down today to Beech Bend to celebrate her birthday by watching our show. She brought with her a photo wrap-up of the Laurel Co fair and Victor and I were in the picture...mostly Victor Jr.
More to come tomorrow......
