[Wowza]

Bubbles and I recently attended a TnT Road Show event in Ft. Worth, and were completely re-energized by it. We learned so much, and have so much to look forward to, both with our ministry clowning, and private endeavors. The instructors were PeeWee and Bumper (Bo and Brynda Brown), Troubles and Rainbow (Randy and Terry McMaster), Junior and LaLa (Tony and Nikki Jones) and David and Teesha Laflin.

We've also realized that we need new costumes if we really want to take this further. While we realize that costumes are a small part of our overall clown characters, we both feel that we'd benefit from more professional looking attire. We saw some stuff at the Road Show, and almost made some purchases, but wisely decided to evaluate what we want.

So, on to my questions. I looked at some Betty Cash costumes, and I liked them. Nothing that was at the show really clicked for me, though. So I'm still looking. Anybody have any experience with pianobsharp, an Ebay costumer? She has some really nice stuff but I'd like some feedback.

Also, I'm looking for clown shoes. All the choices between vinyl and leatherette and leather have my head spinning. I know that Shoq loves his ClownMart shoes, but others have commented that their durability may be in question. Any thoughts?

Finally, I read somewhere that Vivi-Ann used to be a seamstress and has ideas of possibly costuming some clowns. If so, my wife and I would love to be your first customers. Email me and we can work something out, if you are interested.

Thanks guys!
