my ministry group performed for the Mulitcultrual Festival, the reporter took tons of pics, but non made it in the paper so far but we did get recognized as the opening act and the start of the Festival, one of the few groups actually listed by name. so that was great, one of the organizers came by last night and told me she was sorry the crowd was small, [most were mexican and they tend to always come late as it is part of their culture] [plus another organizer told them an imiagrasion[sp] lawyer would be there, and they just heard the first part and were scare to come] but they had a good turn out. She told me the kids were real excited and many had never seen a clown before and didn't know what they were.

Nice when a gig which would pays off like that with happy hearts and faces all around which it sounds like you would have done for free pays off with a new costume as well.

Glad everyone involved had fun.

Sounds like you are well on your way to getting your name out in your town!!! :)
