I just finished my first clowning event, a parade. What a rush! It was a lot of waiting, a lot of walking, and a lot of sweating (and it's not even that warm out!)
Everyone had a great time, both fans and clowns. I walked with my work, and one of my daughters. We were right near the end of the parade, but everyone was still having a good show.
Even from one event I've learned a lot. I learned that I need a lot more nose glue. I still can't figure out how to get my makeup to "set", which means makeup on my collar and costume (ugh), and I MUST wear something on my head... oooh the sweat. The sweat!
The cheers of "look at the clown!" "Hey clown over here!!!" "I LOVE CLOWNS!" "hey clown, hey clown!!!" were the best.
