I want to start the written part of the blog by saying thank you to JC and Dean Dunn who treated us to a gourmet lunch at their place in Paradise, CA. They took out the stops with special gift baggies for the kids and even a "Boo" cake.  Mac and Cheese was the main coarse but I have to tell you you this M & C was 5 tar restaurant worthy. WOW! The salad and other fixin's were great as well. And the time with them was un-measurable. Two of the sweetest people on earth. We are blessed to have such friends.

I have kept a secret for a while and since it is done now I will reveal we had a proposal pitch for a 74 day stint this summer for the San Diego Zoo. Unfortunately, since the zoo wanted an Aussie themed show because of the new koala thing they have going on we lost out. What a shame. But in this biz you just have to get used to disappointments. That just tops the the three or four producers from various networks or production companies that have called or emailed us for various things that didn't work out. Maybe it just isn't our time. God only knows.

The visit with the doc this morning shows I am doing well stable with my rotten spine tumor. He is also out of his foot cast so I guess we both are doing well.  He is a good man and doctor.

We will perform at the Chico Mall grand opening this weekend. But various hangup with insurance, regulations  upper management fear, and the like (which we find most often in Cali) may prevent us from doing the upside-down tandem strait-jacket or the trapeze. But we will perform. I I guarantee a great set of shows.

If you watched the video above you will see some new stuff in the show. I won't mention it here...watch the videos.

We end October in Calico on the last Friday-Sunday and then at 1st baptist in Elk Grove on Halloween night so come on out if you are nearby.

For circus lovers I will make a plea that you don't vote Dem this election as they are wanting to keep shows with animals from being able to move around the states. Be warned!

I am sorry to report that Nick, who has been with us for a few years, will no longer be performing with us. he was a hard worker and a crowd favorite.


Well...that is the update right now. God bless and good night.
