Thanks so much for doing that Harpoetta!
When I was considering joining IBM last year I was thinking "Man, this is so cool but what I really want to join is a professional vaudeville organization."
It's something I would love to offer the vaudeville community out there and be a part of myself. The
Sons of the Desert are another group I should have mentioned as inspiration! I am still hoping to join them when the option becomes available again.
@SuitcaseSam: I know what you mean! I have nothing against modern Burlesque (some of the characters are great) though the meaning has DEFINITELY changed since the greats were doing Burlesques back in the day. When I was looking for a clown partner I posted on Craig's List and I was contacted by so many Burlesque Dancers and it just doesn't fit my style of clowning. But people really do link that stuff in with vaudeville.
