Roswell...Aliens Amoung us!

Look at the size of that crowd. They go on and on. Over 600 people by our head count. With all of us a the top of our game and all signs of that stomach bug having bugged out we basked in the energy you get from a crowd this size and had a great time.
We found a terrific Alien mask at an obscure little shop downtown and turned Nick in Skeen, the Alien Trapeze Artist.

A shot of Jim as he is about to juggle with a painted sky as his backdrop, or front drop?
Backstage with the kids.
Lukas with his Hairspray...dangerous around a man eating fire.
Victor with his vial of alien...he got it at the Alien or UFO Museum and Research Center.
Paddle ball fromt he museum. It was a buck.

They can't believe it's plastic!

New friend?



Everyone seems to get into the action of playing the Alien Game here. Hey, it sells stuff right? I was told there were two alien themed diners that went belly up due to the recession. Lots of the shops looked as they they were taking a beating this year. I know from our travels that RVers are few and far between so I think that might be part of it ...people aren't traveling much.
And locals are used to it.
We still had a good time visiting down town as corny as it was.

Gas down to $2.95!
