[Tater Bug]: Pam-cakes, I'm hoping to get my materials tomorrow. If not, I may email them. I just registered last Wednesday, but I can't wait to find out more! It's my first time to go to Moosecamp.
[Jitterbug]: I loved Patricia when she was here for the sping fling. She's verycool
[Pam-cakes]: mine too!
[Pam-cakes]: i registered a few months ago
[Jitterbug]: Hopefully I can go next year. Is there anywhere else to go yet this year??
[Jitterbug]: Azzy--you're almost completely off of my page--yea--don't answerk, k?
[Tater Bug]: My husband surprised me when they sent out the email that a couple of slots had opened up. He insisted that I go, and it's a birthday gift.
[Pam-cakes]: i got a new costume and have been working hard to finish it before camp
[Gladman]: sorry, gotta go. Nice group
[Jitterbug]: how cool
[Willace-the-Clown]: Fitzwilly is on his way
[Tater Bug]: I have no clue about the hobo thing for a female. Just winging it, so to speak.
[Pam-cakes]: me to, ive beeen thinking about it a lot, Ms. Mooseburger told me the rule is it can't be over $2
[Jitterbug]: I just got some more material to start a new costume. I bought SCRUBS from Goodwill--they're aqua blue with big hot air balloons on them--very colorful, and cheap--can't wait
[Jitterbug]: I'm not actually wearing the scrubs--I'm using the material from them
[Jitterbug]: (((azzy)))
[Jolly Well]: Jitterbug - Leon McBryde has a camp in August in Va
[Tater Bug]: Jitterbug, How often do you clown? And how many costumes do you have?
[Pam-cakes]: i heard of someone going to that
[Jitterbug]: That's a little too soon--my husband's been layed off for 6 weeks, and we're a little tight financially
[Tater Bug]: Ooh - where in VA? and when?
[Jitterbug]: About once a month--Fitzwilly is my "AGEnt"
[Jitterbug]: I have 2 so far.
[Jolly Well]: Roanoke VA - not sure of exact dates.... one sec, checking
[Jolly Well]: August 18-23 Advanced Studies 2008
[Jolly Well]: I never make Moosecamp - falls during Festival season for me =/ I may take the time out to go eventually, but difficult to get away at times
[Tater Bug]: Thanks, Jolly Well. I may check into it. My daughter just moved to Williamsburg, and I want to go check out her new place.
[Jolly Well]: Williamsburg is 3ish hours from Roanoke - so not too bad. All interstate travel so it's quick
[Pam-cakes]: hey thanks Mr. Jolly Well for the friend invite
[Jolly Well]: Sure thing!
[Jolly Well]: Dug out my old unicycle today to tidy it up a bit. Let me know if you're going to make Hurricane Hugo and I'll pack it for you

[Fitzwilly]: You will get plenty of advise at MooseCamp Pam
[Fitzwilly]: Where is Jitter? I see her name but no typing.
[Pam-cakes]: im trying to finish it before hand
[Jolly Well]: Thanks Fitz - fortunately have had a bit more time to look at some balloons and magic stuff. Festival season and all.
[Fitzwilly]: Well, Okay. You will probably want to make changes when you get home but ask away and we will do our best to help.

[axedaclown]: hiya willace
[axedaclown]: and tater!
[Pam-cakes]: well its definintly not your traditional clown costume, its hard to explain but if you know what im talkin about then youll get it completly
[Fitzwilly]: I hardly know what I am talking about but I will try.
[Fitzwilly]: People say I'm very trying.
[Jitterbug]: trying on the nerves..,JUST KIDDIN
[Jitterbug]: lol
[Jitterbug]: love ya Fitz
[Jitterbug]: Pam--can I help??
[Fitzwilly]: Jitter - time change for the 19th from 1pm until 4pm
[Fitzwilly]: I will send you a full email.
[Jitterbug]: whoa--what the start or end???
[Pam-cakes]: its like a casual 1940s/30's dress with greenish yellow and white squares w/bright green accents...it had two pockets on the front and i took of one off and put it on upside down..i added a cool cross design on the back but i need something else on the front
[Jitterbug]: I don't get it...no frills or poofs??
[Pam-cakes]: no
[Fitzwilly]: New start time, they shaved off two hours. 1pm start, still 4pm finish.
[Tater Bug]: Room for a half apron?
[pixcoco]: A dress in that time frame might call for an apron
[axedaclown]: hola Miss Coco
[Jitterbug]: okay--you already emailed me about that.
[Pam-cakes]: its difficult to match the dress with an apron and it would look to housewify, have you ever seen Rebbecca on Sunnybrook farm
[axedaclown]: lol
[pixcoco]: axe...you just wake up?
[Jitterbug]: Is it a straight skirt?
[Pam-cakes]: its a dress
[axedaclown]: nope been out running errands all day :P
[Fitzwilly]: Well, when I emailed you it was 12 until 3 but that changed again this afternoon.
[Pam-cakes]: that has big buttons on the front
[axedaclown]: and I read your Water for Elephants book!!!
[Jitterbug]: yup, but is the skirt part straight?
[Jitterbug]: doesn't poof out?
[Fitzwilly]: Pam, you may want to consider bloomers
[axedaclown]: okay, changing colors so you don't confuse me with Pam hehe
[Jitterbug]: I agree
[Jitterbug]: or some cool striped leotards
[Fitzwilly]: Otherwise there is going to be some guy who will want to be your new best friend.
[pixcoco]: How about a double skirt...a couple of inches showing at the bottom
[Pam-cakes]: i am looking for a pic, i think once you see it you will know what im talking about, it doesnt poof out like i said its not like a normal costume
[Jolly Well]: The dress on your myspace is the one of topic?
[pixcoco]: is it an old house dress?
[Fitzwilly]: What type of character are you developing?
[Pam-cakes]: that dress is the style of mine but not the actual dress
[axedaclown]: Sup Luki!
[Jitterbug]: BRB
[Fitzwilly]: LL! Good to see you.
[Willace-the-Clown]: hi Loki
[Jolly Well]: Howdy LL
[Tater Bug]: Hi, Luki.
[Luki Loki]: how's everybody doing this eve
[Tater Bug]: Hi Luki.
[axedaclown]: doing great
[Pam-cakes]: the character is like a wannabe star from 40s. i got a "boater" hat for my tips and my cousin has a sign for me that will say "funny insurance" for my tips
[Willace-the-Clown]: we are all eatting at the buffet
[Willace-the-Clown]: chicken chips
[Luki Loki]: LOL I am stuyffed from the alley indoor picnic
[Pam-cakes]: http://dmla.clan.lib.nv.us/docs/muse...es/e40016b.jpg
[Fitzwilly]: Don't take all the chicken Will.
[Willace-the-Clown]: i like chicken
[Luki Loki]: canibal
[Pam-cakes]: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/129/3...3a1711.jpg?v=0
[Tater Bug]: OK, so, a "slinky" apron - or one of those frilly see-through organza jobs that hostesses supposedly wore for cocktail parties? I promise, after this, not ONE more word about aprons! LOL
[Fitzwilly]: I like the look of the dress, but then I really like the 30's to begin with. What I am having trouble envisioning you character.
[Tater Bug]: A "shrug" of fake fur?
[Tater Bug]: And a cigarette a l-o-n-g holder.
[Pam-cakes]: thats a great idea,,but it will cover up my u/d pocket...the character isn't that well off but i do have one of my grandmas fake furs from then
[Tater Bug]: And "mesh" gloves? Or elbow length?
[Pam-cakes]: i have gloves that look like they are made out of a doiley (if thats how its spelled)
[pixcoco]: oohhh gloves yes but not mesh
[Tater Bug]: What are they made out of if that isn't the way it's spelled? Just joking.
[Luki Loki]: lace
[pixcoco]: classic white I would think
[Tater Bug]: Or satin.
[Tater Bug]: White's good.
[pixcoco]: and long like you said
[Pam-cakes]: Lady Fiddler's Photo Gallery - Crocheted Doilies
[Jitterbug]: I like the fur thing, but I'd like it to be REAL
[pixcoco]: I like the minks that are holding another one by the tail
[pixcoco]: but make it a comedy version of that
[Pam-cakes]: they are made out of that stuff...and i have lots of props i have my suitcase that looks like a basket so i call it my "basketcase", and my beautiful uke,
[Pam-cakes]: like a skunk would be good
[Tater Bug]: There's good quality "fake fur" to be had at fabric stores. Maybe sew on a stuffed animal head, to make it really obvious that it's fake - to fit the "wannabe" in your character? And yes, a skunk!!!
[Pam-cakes]: and my giant blindfold that looks like the top half of queen elizabeths head used for a balancing gag
[pixcoco]: yes
[Bookworm]: hi tim
[axedaclown]: Hidey Ho Tim!
[Willace-the-Clown]: 10:00PM EST

[Jitterbug]: oh, do you usually get kicked out?
[tim]: yeah, my browser or the system or whatever don't like me, It's a constant revolving door with me in here.
[Jitterbug]: I love revolving doors!!! Chicago has so many of them--my kids had a blast!
[Jolly Well]: Howdy Nettie Belle
[Nettie Belle]: Hi y'all ... how's everybody?

[saphireSue]: Howdy Nettie
[Harpoetta]: Tim, you don't have to be so formal with me.

[Jolly Well]: Hello
[axedaclown]: hey POB
[Jitterbug]: HEY pRINCESS
[Nettie Belle]: Oh. I'm so confused, you would think I was Blondie sitting here.
[Luki Loki]: Hey princess
[Nettie Belle]: Blondie is always confused.
[tim]: I make an ugly crossdresser nettie, it isn't very funny. Though some of my best costume items are actually modified female apparal from thrift
[Nettie Belle]: lol
[Jitterbug]: Yeah, like the scarf--did I type that out loud???
[Nettie Belle]: what scarf?
[Jitterbug]: nevermind
[axedaclown]: Night folks! you too Dan
[Jitterbug]: bye axe
[tim]: I actually picked up a big colorful something or other at thrift today. I have no use for it but it might make an excellent harlequin thing for someone. For 75 cents I couldn't pass it up
[Luki Loki]: by axe
[Willace-the-Clown]: nettie sometimes your other personalatys can sink out
[The_Princess_of_Bozonia]: I sense there's a story behind this scarf
[Jitterbug]: wtg Tim
[Jitterbug]: nope, no story--what scarf?????
[Pam-cakes]: i bought my dress at this cool vintage store for $5, then again i had to gut it basically
[Nettie Belle]: Hey, does anyone still want a metal bedpan? I found one at the Salvation Army the other day for $6.99
[tim]: hey I LIKE that scarf. My new clown pants are women's also. They were unhemmed and all I had to do was take them to the tailor. They go perfectly with my blue and white striped shirt
[Jitterbug]: LOL--I love you Timmy
[Nettie Belle]: Tim is your clown name Tim?
[Jolly Well]: I thrift a lot, but think a bed pan is one item I'd prefer to be new
[tim]: one clown I know jokes that many of the outrageous costume items he has are something which some lady thought was the cats meow during the 70s
[Fitzwilly]: Hello Princess
[Willace-the-Clown]: I donno what i would do with a bed pan
[Fitzwilly]: Night Axe.
[Pam-cakes]: i got the 69' program for ringling at that vintage store too!

[Willace-the-Clown]: hi Scruffy
[Harpoetta]: So, which forum member emailed Dad in the last couple of days?
[Nettie Belle]: Hey, Scruffy ... were your ears burning?
[Scruffy]: I also make REAL guitars.
[Snugglesnort]: I just found it jolly and it looks interesting
[Willace-the-Clown]: but would scrubs use it cuz its a bed pan or would hobo bob cuz it is hobo ish
[Jolly Well]: Willace - tribe.net is pretty much forum based

[Jitterbug]: Theyr'e the best
[Pam-cakes]: i am going to buy shoes at moosecamp

[azzy]: when I got mine
[Pam-cakes]: yes mame so have i
[Jamz]: I think they have Spears shoes at moosecamp
[Jitterbug]: No, not spears
[Jitterbug]: I don't remember his name
[Pickles]: Yes, he does a fantastic job. That's where I got mine.
[Harpoetta]: Pam, do you have any magic requests for the dealer room at moose Camp?
[Jitterbug]: They're all handmade to order--I designed mine
[Fitzwilly]: Christopher Hudert is repping for Spears at Camp this year.
[Jitterbug]: Black & white saddle with red hearts
[Jitterbug]: but Mary Jane style
[Jitterbug]: with a buckle
[Jitterbug]: You keeping up Fitz??? LOL
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I wanna go to moosecamp, but won't be able to. I can't believe how busy I've been in the few short weeks I've been here.
[Fitzwilly]: Wayne and Marty Scott used to be at Moose Camp. That is where I got my shoes. Allen their son makes the shoes now.
[Jamz]: Spears are well worth the money I can wear mine for 12 hrs with no problem with them
[Harpoetta]: Maybe next yr, Rainbow
[Pickles]: Pam, have you had your talk with Trish yet?
[Pickles]: So Rainbow, are you all settled in?
[Pam-cakes]: i had mine today
[Rainbow D. Clown]: hope so. too busy trying to work and getting established here.
[Pickles]: How'd it go?
[Luki Loki]: I werr converse all stars about 10 sizes too big
[Pam-cakes]: i don't know how to do magic but if i did your the first person id ask
[Fitzwilly]: I'm trying. I have 3 PMs going as well.
[Pam-cakes]: it was great!
[Pickles]: So did you decide on all your classes?
[Fitzwilly]: Jamz - your yellow faded. I almost didn't recognize you.
[Luki Loki]: Rainbow did you say you just moved to Texas?
[Pam-cakes]: yes i read them off and she said they were great for what i want to do
[Mr. Dazzle]: i started out wearing my normal sized yellow chuck taylors... when I got ready to buy clown shoes I got excited because I found big yellow leather chuck taylors from clownmart on Ebay
[Rainbow D. Clown]: yep pickles. We moved into our house a little over a week ago, bought new furniture yesterday, brought the kids back from IL. So, we still have things to do, but, between work and limited hours in the day....
[Rainbow D. Clown]: it'll eventually all get done.
[Pickles]: Jamz, regarding the shoes: I could not believe how LIGHT my clown shoes were -- much lighter than the old sneakers I used to wear, even though they were twice as big.
[Jolly Well]: Pam - you do 0 magic? No interest or no time?
[Harpoetta]: Pickles, do you have any magic requests?
[Willace-the-Clown]: Loki get away fromt hat door
[Pickles]: That's great, Rainbow. And you're clowning, too?
[Jolly Well]: on a totally nrelated topic - I just discovered the best stilt photo I've ever seen: http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/...tm_45d0c31.jpg
[Jamz]: test
[Pam-cakes]: i havnt really looked into it, i know nothing about it
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I still want to try to attend some conventions tho. I think I'd really like to look into teaching a business class.
[Jamz]: test
[Luki Loki]: Dirty words at "connection time expired"
[Pickles]: Gosh, I was trying to think, Harpo.... I can't think of anything offhand.
[Fitzwilly]: There is my Jamz
[Pickles]: I need some new magic ideas. Hopefully I'll see something at camp that I HAVE to have.
[Fitzwilly]: Welcome Back Jamz.
[Jolly Well]: ah - if you can pull the entire weekend at Hugo we can get you started at least. A few magic folks will be there
[Harpoetta]: ok, if any of you think of anything, let me know asap so we can order it if we need to
[Fitzwilly]: Pam - you will have a blast meeting Fred.
[Harpoetta]: Dad will be placing an order tomorrow
[Mr. Dazzle]: That picture kind of looks like Charlie Chaplain, Emmet Kelly, and Snoopy the WWI Flying Ace all collided into one person
[Jolly Well]: what direction are you looking to go with your magic Pickles?
[Jitterbug]: POM POM
[Pam-cakes]: YAAAY...i am not sure how long i can make the Hugo event
[Pickles]: Jolly, that is (as my 14-year-old would say) COOLIO!
[tim]: I thought of something!
[Pam-cakes]: i cant wait to meet him
[Harpoetta]: the latest we can place an order and be sure of having it in time is Monday
[Jolly Well]: Yep - someone on the Playa Im sure. Amazing work
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I'm marketing myself right now and I'm helping my friend market his businesses. He has an indoor inflatable playland business and a seperate one that delivers. I'm also helping him fine tune and polish his staff in the customer service department
[Pickles]: Jolly, no serious magic, just silly stuff that doesn't make me concentrate too hard.
[Jolly Well]: Stage or Strolling?
[Jitterbug]: That sounds like the kind of stuff I'd like to do--
[Jitterbug]: concentration hurts my headd
[Jitterbug]: Dang, 84 degrees tomorrow--and HUMID__yuck
[Pam-cakes]: i am getting a pair of spears....i got knocked out at work so i can have a pair
[Jamz]: Fred will show you some great things to make you magic show funny
[Pickles]: Rainbow, I know a lady in the town next door who also started one of those indoor playgrounds. She has my business cards out on the counter, and I've gotten several parties thru her. I did one party at the playground. Not sure it was the best place to be a clown -- so many distractions.
[Jitterbug]: what's that mean Pam?
[Luki Loki]: only 84??? must be nice
[Pickles]: You know how we are supposed to bring magic we don't use. I will need a U-Haul!
[Jitterbug]: lol
[Harpoetta]: [Jitterbug] 8:59 pm: POM POM Ok, I missed something there, but just from this line, I could go with my Dad's Pom Pom stick routine, or a Laurel and Hardy movie.
[Mr. Dazzle]: Haul it on down to TN
[Jitterbug]: Yes, 84 with 200% humidity!!
[Jitterbug]: Yes, i LOVE your dad's pom pom routine!! That was totally awesome
[Harpoetta]: what did you think of Tim?
[Pickles]: Jolly, both stage and strolling. When I lived in KY, I did shows for large groups at schools. I haven't done as much of that here, but I'd like to.
[Pam-cakes]: yesterday an I.V broke and they needed me to give them some tape, there was stuff all over the floor and i passed out like a tree and knocked the patooey out of my head
[Jamz]: his pom pom is hilarious
[Jitterbug]: Oh, my--that's not good
[Pickles]: Dazzle, on my clown bike, right?
[Pam-cakes]: yay concusion and the whole 9 yards
[Jitterbug]: So, why can you have a pair now?
[Pickles]: Dazzle, I LOVE your new elf nose.
[tim]: I forget, Ms. Baisch
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Yeah, I really am not thrilled about being there for a party. It would be hard to differentiate the kids. But, I do have tons of advertising opportunity, and I'll do a 3 hour gig there every 3rd Saturday of the month for him to use for promotional purposes
[Willace-the-Clown]: 11:00PM EST
[Mr. Dazzle]: Thanks ... I do too... Pixcoco... Its slightly used but freshly picked.....
[Mr. Dazzle]: Pixcoco sent it to me.
[Pickles]: Oh, Harpo, will your dad have D'lites there? I have one that's burnt out, and I have yet to return it for a new one. (I guess you can get a replacement cheap if you return it to the business where you purchased it.)
[Jamz]: hand out tickets to the kids in the party or special name tags so you can tell who is in the party
[tim]: oh oh oh, I know!
[Pickles]: As long as you can get the old clown boogs off!
[Pam-cakes]: i am working so i can i have a pair even if it means i pass out and get knocked out....(haaahaaa)
[Willace-the-Clown]: Coco is good like that she sent me my new Hobo Bob Shirt I'll have pics of me in it by some time sunday
[Jamz]: I just had to pretend that I liked my wife to get mine
[Jitterbug]: Well, kids, I gotta go---I need to get home to sleep. Take care~!
[Jitterbug]: JAMZZ__-shame on you!
[Luki Loki]: LOL jamz
[Pickles]: The day I did the party there was the football game preceding the Superbowl and the Packers were playing. All these parents were sitting there in their green jerseys staring at their watches, NOT wanting to be at a kids' birthday party at an indoor playground. Of course, Pickles thought they were wearing green in honor of HER.
[Jamz]: nite Jitterbug
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Jamz...yea, they have it organized like that, but it's hard to say "No, I'm just here for those kids, not you"
[Harpoetta]: I will make sure we have D'Lites. What color do you need? You can keep the old one, but we cannot discount the price. But, there is no sales tax at Moose Camp.
[tim]: do you say that to your children every night jitterbug?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Of course I hope you realize I'd never talk to a kid like that....
[Pickles]: See ya, Jitterbug!
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I'd say I'm busy not get outta here unless you got a paycheck
[Pam-cakes]: hey tim it was $1, my computer catches things slowly or its me
[Luki Loki]: nite jitter
[Willace-the-Clown]: Night Jitterbug
[Harpoetta]: night Jitterbug
[Jitterbug]: yup---time to go to work--
[Jitterbug]: night
[Pickles]: A normal red one, Harpo. Thanks. I wouldn't expect you to discount it -- I didn't buy the original from you.
[Jamz]: I know its hard to do but if you dont you are being unfair to the one paying you
[Rainbow D. Clown]: nite Jitterbug
[Fitzwilly]: Night Jitter - Hey when would be a good time to get together for you?
[saphireSue]: good night jitterbug
[tim]: you caught the dollar in the dollar game pam?
[Pam-cakes]: the program
[Harpoetta]: Ok, I'll make sure we have some there.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: yep, so, I'd rather be there for the whole establishment in this case. Now, bowling alleys and other public locations, it doesn't bother me as much. The set up is different.
[Jamz]: if you can get the place to hire you then you can be for everyone
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Of course, I can handle it in any situation with professionalism and poise and turn it into a marketing opportunity, but, it's still no fun!
[tim]: ...
[tim]: wow sweet deal pam
[tim]: wow, sweet deal
[tim]: one persons trash another's treasure
[Luki Loki]: I have heard other clowns say they give non party kids their card and say I would love to come to your birthday party. Have your folks call me and we can set something up
[tim]: what clowns are listed in the program?
[Jamz]: I hate doing it but the last time I didnt Iwas there for an hr after my time was up
[Jolly Well]: Sorry for delay - had to see to the baby. Simple(ish) magic stuffs with a nice effect.. You do Dancing Butterflies? Psyco-Can-Esis? Vanishing Bandana? Animated Card thru Balloon?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Jamz-that's what I'm doing. 3 hours on the 3rd Saturday of every month
[Willace-the-Clown]: me & dad want to go to the flea market & see what clown stuff we can dig up
[tim]: hey jolly thnx for the trick explanations you sent me
[Pickles]: Jolly, I don't do any of those, but the Dancing Butterflies sounds intriguing! Tell me more, tell me more.
[Willace-the-Clown]: well i want to dig it up he wants to look around
[Harpoetta]: that sounds like fun Will
[Willace-the-Clown]: yes
[Rainbow D. Clown]: my favorite "magic trick" is banana bandana
[Jolly Well]: sure thing - it doesn't sound like much on paper - but Bionic Mnemonic sold me quick when I saw it the first time. It's a nice effect when performed well
[Pickles]: I think if I go thru all my boxes and closets of clown stuff and do some brain-storming, I can come up with a lot of new magic using things I already have.
[Willace-the-Clown]: they are bound to have something a clown can use
[Pickles]: So how does the banana trick go?
[Jamz]: If no one is doing the vanishing bandana the you are missing out on a great trick easy to do and gets a lot of laughs
[Luki Loki]: Why do people want to buy fleas at a market?????
[tim]: did you buy any fleas?
[Luki Loki]: banana bandana?
[Jolly Well]: Vanishing Bandana is basically self working and a really funny routine. YouTube has a ton of videos of it - David Copperfield does a great show of it set to mr Rogers
[Jolly Well]: let me find a video for Dancing Butterflies
[Pam-cakes]: Jacobs, Coco, Kelly, Bobby Kay,
[Jolly Well]: Yes banana bandana
[Pickles]: No sleight of hand, though, right? I don't do that!!
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I'd like to know more about it Jamz. I don't do much magic
[Luki Loki]: I love that trick
[Mr. Dazzle]: I love Copperfields Mr. Rogers Version! When I watched it I laughed till I cried!
[Jolly Well]: No sleights in Bandana
[Pam-cakes]: the kid at the front desk had no idea
[Fitzwilly]: Pickles - you haven't seen Bandandiana? Wait till camp, if you haven't got the idea by then ask me and I will grab somebody and show you. In fact ask anyway.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I wish I could find the Mr. Rogers Audio for it.
[Jolly Well]: just uses a devil's hanky
[Pam-cakes]: Pio Nock too...
[Jolly Well]: Dancing Butterflies - Make two butterflies dance for your audience.Magic Geek - Pickle
[Luki Loki]: Got to go get the kid from work, Catch ya'll next time
[Pam-cakes]: and it has a wonderful poem by Red Skelton
[Jolly Well]: Card through Balloon requires sleight
[Fitzwilly]: I will have to look for Copperfield doing it.
[Jamz]: all you have to do is follow the instructions on the tape but when its says to fold the bandana you are folding a banana and the you make it disapear
[Pickles]: Oh, I think I have a devil's hanky!
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Yes, she's got to see it Fitz! I love it. solo or with 2 people. the end varies, depending on which you use, but so fun to perform!
[tim]: sweet, I iwsh I could have seen more of them, I saw a few when I was really young but hardlyt remember them in any individual way
[Pickles]: OH, man, I AM SO EXCITED to learn some new tricks!!!!!!!!
[Pam-cakes]: its really neat, great condition, in the back theres a pic of Walter Matthau and Bobby kay
[Pickles]: What about the butterflies? Sleight?
[Jolly Well]: Psyco-Can-Esis is at Kevin James web.. kjmagic.com I think
[Rainbow D. Clown]: if you get a chance to work it with someone, you can totally perform it in an Abbot and Costello mode
[tim]: walter mathau lol
[Jolly Well]: Not really, but takes some setup... there is a video of it at link
[azzy]: where my ninja???]
[azzy]: forget that
[Pam-cakes]: its Gunther Gebel-Williams first time with Ringling
[Harpoetta]: throw a little who's on 1st in there and you'll really have an act
[Fitzwilly]: Bo! welcome
[Harpoetta]: hey Bo
[Willace-the-Clown]: hi Bodiddly
[Bodiddly]: Hello there fellow clowns
[Pickles]: Oooo, the butteflies are coolio! Do you keep re-using the paper butterflies?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Hey! Good news! Did I tell ya'll about Baylor University?
[Jolly Well]: Self tying shoe lace is ok as well - a $2 version of it on the forum
[Mr. Dazzle]: the butterflies are cool
[Pickles]: HI, Bo.
[Bodiddly]: hey Pickles
[tim]: sweet, so the original expansion year to two units then?
[Jolly Well]: for a while you can - they'll take damage over time thought
[Bodiddly]: are u ready for camp?
[Jolly Well]: though even
[Pickles]: What's that one where you keep pulling the boxes with the flowers out of the bag. Surprise bag? I like that one.
[Jamz]: Ho Bo
[Bodiddly]: I missed my call from Trish today
[Pickles]: WOOOHOOOO! FIRE UP!!!! No, I'm not ready, but I am excited.
[Jamz]: she will call again
[Pam-cakes]: mine couldnt have went better
[Pickles]: I haven't had my call yet. I have all my notes by the phone though. I'm ready to talk.
[Pam-cakes]: is anyone bringing things for the auction?
[saphireSue]: Going to bed ya'll, see ya later.
[Jamz]: nite Sue
[Pickles]: I'm so paranoid she's going to call when I'm trying my hair or when I have to pee really badly.
[Harpoetta]: Bo, do you have any magic requests for the dealer room?
[Bodiddly]: Im ready to ASK questions
[Pickles]: Bye, Sue!!
[Pickles]: DRYING hair, that is.
[Fitzwilly]: Pickles - That is called the Flower Bag. Runs somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 to $20 I think.
[Jamz]: for the small one the big one is more like 100
[Mr. Dazzle]: install a phone in the bathroom pickles... instant fix...
[Pickles]: I have the medium-sized version of that. I like it. I put little silks in there, too, so I have more things to pull out.
[Bodiddly]: I call your store last week for one of the comedy funnels
[Pickles]: Harpo, can you guys get the Dancing Butterflies?
[Pickles]: Dazzle, I will get on that tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
[Pam-cakes]: i made a funnel cake today it was more like a lumpy cake
[Pickles]: A funnel. I have one of those too. Never used it.
[Pickles]: I think I'm going to just bring tubs of all the magic I don't use, and maybe I can get some inspiration.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: OK! That was rude!!
[Rainbow D. Clown]: That was the very first time the door hit me in the behind!
[Willace-the-Clown]: you put music in the tub?
[tim]: dazz... "Hold, please, I'd like to take this call in 'my office'"
[Pickles]: lol
[Bodiddly]: I have to get a differant nose , I couldnt keep mine on for the parade I had to use string
[Fitzwilly]: You do that Pickles, just make sure it doesn't get in with the auction items.
[Pickles]: Rubber tubs -- not bath tubs. lol
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I had dial up when I was in IL and never got kicked out. In fact I enjoyed making fun of everyone else. Now that I have DSL it's attack of the door time
[Pickles]: I also need a new nose. My human nose is growing and my clown nose doesn't quite fit anymore. So sad.
[Jamz]: your nose should fit so it stays on with glue
[Willace-the-Clown]: Willace's nose is held on by string
[Bodiddly]: can anyone tell me what is the best glue or tape when its hot and I sweat alot
[Jamz]: if you put it on and it falls right off then its too big
[Pam-cakes]: i use glue
[Bodiddly]: it stays on till it gets hot
[Pickles]: I was working on my hobo jacket tonight. My 8-year-old was helping me sew patches onto the coat. We were sewing sleeves to the collar and jacket pockets to the pants. My, what a mess.
[Jamz]: I use latex and dont have a problem
[Pickles]: I'm a putty girl.
[Fitzwilly]: I heard Michael Jackson's nose was held on by string also, but the string broke.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I use the pro nose adhesive... but I have a hard time getitng the adhesive out of the nose... I'm not opposed the the idea of getting a nose to string.
[Pickles]: lol
[Jamz]: its just a matter of finding what works for you
[Bodiddly]: i have a jim howel but im thinking about getting a pronose
[Pickles]: I could never get the glue off of my human nose. I LOVE putty.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I had always wondered what the best way of attaching your nose would be for someone with severe allergies or a Cold... the answer is String
[Willace-the-Clown]: for hobo bob i use adhesive 101
[Pam-cakes]: I loved Mr. Renfro's "In defense of the Nose"
[Willace-the-Clown]: he is the only one that uses a professonal nose
[Pickles]: Haven't you seen clowns sticking q-tips up their nostrils? That's why!!!
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Pickles I'm with you, and i like doing the silly fun stuff that's more of a performance. I I don't know the name of it, but I like the one where you produce a canary in a brown bag.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I know pickles... I went to my grandfathers visitation with my nose still slightly sticky...
[Bodiddly]: my buddy wanted to get me some super glue
[Mr. Dazzle]: and I scrubbed with makeup remover , glue remover, and soap
[Jamz]: the bird in the bag
[Pam-cakes]: i need to go get the remover to get the gunk off
[Mr. Dazzle]: I did that one at my last event... The kids loved it and went nuts
[Fitzwilly]: I won't see the binder until I get toCamp so I haven't seen the new articles yet.
[Pam-cakes]: its really great, i like everything he writes very cleaver
[Rainbow D. Clown]: that's a fun one. I did it at church and made my own rhyme to cordinate with members of the congregation
[Pam-cakes]: clever
[Jamz]: I also do it with a balloon when I mworking with another clown
[Mr. Dazzle]: you do Bird in a Balloon??
[Mr. Dazzle]: thats a neat idea
[Rainbow D. Clown]: "Frogs aren't hairy, Neither is Brother Gary" (a nice gentleman who proudly sports his receeding hairline), "Into this bag, produce a Canary"!
[Pickles]: Is that the one where you have the yellow flowers in the brown bag?
[Mr. Dazzle]: yeah
[Jamz]: feathers
[Rainbow D. Clown]: yep. oooo! In a balloon! That sounds fun.
[Willace-the-Clown]: i have the canary in a bag trick
[Pam-cakes]: hey Mr. Dazzle howd the production of the audition vid go?
[Pickles]: Oh, I don't even want to think about birds today. I spent most of the day trying to get a young downy woodpecker out of my garage. He flew in and could not figure out how to get out! I had all three doors open, and he just kept flying around the ceiling. It was horrible.
[Fitzwilly]: Mark is very knowlegable, you will want to listen to what he says.
[Mr. Dazzle]: its going to be finished this weekend... Hopefully I'll have something to share by monday...
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Yea, Pickles. Young and old go crazy over it!
[Pickles]: I think I asked this before, but do kids ever get upset, thinking you actually killed the woodpecker -- I mean canary?
[Mr. Dazzle]: we have to flim an ending for it.
[Willace-the-Clown]: i never used it yet
[Pam-cakes]: cool
[Mr. Dazzle]: only kids that have seen the "orestige" one too many times
[Jamz]: just once and I just told him it wasnt a real bird because I would not hurt a bird he was happy with the explaination
[Mr. Dazzle]: Prestige*
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I haven't experienced that yet. of course you could ad a funny tagline at the end of your performance...no birds were harmed in the making of this production
[Pickles]: THat movie was upsetting! Poor Tweety!!
[Mr. Dazzle]: "Thats his Brother"
[Pam-cakes]: female blue jays are horrible
[Pickles]: Well, if I have no problem wringing a rabbit, I don't know why it would be so hard to squish a birdie.
[Fitzwilly]: Evening Lolly.
[Willace-the-Clown]: why pam
[Jamz]: they are mean
[Mr. Dazzle]: wouldn't they be considered "Blue Janes"
[Pickles]: HI, Lolly!!
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Hi Lolly
[Pickles]: This little bird wasn't trying to be a pain -- he just couldn't figure out how to get out of my garage.
[Mr. Dazzle]: Lolly Plop , Lolly Plop, Oh Lolly Lolly Lolly Lolly Plop-a-Lolly Plop!
[Fitzwilly]: Jollys back we can all be happy now.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: That's sad Pickles!
[Mr. Dazzle]: do you ever use that song in your act Lolly??
[Pickles]: Finally he was so exhausted, we managed to push him toward a garage door with a broom. I cheered as he flew away.
[Pam-cakes]: i was out walking my dog in the front yard so i went inside and grabbed my little bros plastic red bat and swung it around to scare it...it was funny
[Bookworm]: Night Guys
[Jolly Well]: Howdy again - isp is giving me fits
[Jamz]: nite BW
[Fitzwilly]: Night Bookie.
[Lolly Plop]: Hi everyone
[Willace-the-Clown]: Pickles is is a clownatarin
[Pickles]: Happy ending though. I even called the Wisconsin DNR to get advice! They were so nice. (Probably thought I was a crazy bird lady!)

[The_Princess_of_Bozonia]

[Rainbow D. Clown]: nite wormie
[Fitzwilly]: Jolly - that is spelled Fitz.
[Jolly Well]: heh
[Pickles]: That's me, Willace.
[Lolly Plop]: No I don't use that song but I should get a copy of it.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: looking for a shameless plug again Fitzy??
[Mr. Dazzle]: I use Chubby Checker's "The Twist" while I'm twisting balloons...
[Pam-cakes]: hey Jolly, i was lookin at the pics from the site and it said something about entering are you entering? ( in whatever its entering about)
[Pickles]: I just remembered I forgot to feed my rabbit. I have to go.
[Jolly Well]: Any of you happen to use the "Draw me a Tree" system? I've been reading up on it and ordering it when I fill my next shopping cart. Excited about it from what I've found so far
[Rainbow D. Clown]: better feed the bunny!
[Pickles]: Farewell, fair clowns.
[Jolly Well]: cya Pickles
[Rainbow D. Clown]: nite Pickles
[Jolly Well]: Am I entering what?
[Willace-the-Clown]: night Pickles
[Pickles]: Yes, "Princess" is a well-fed rabbit. She gets very irritated if she runs out of hay.
[Jamz]: nie Pickles
[Bodiddly]: night Pickles
[Lolly Plop]: Night Pickles
[Harpoetta]: ok, I'm back
[Pickles]: BYE!!!!!!!
[Harpoetta]: what'd I miss?
[Pam-cakes]: i dont know, it said here is blah blah entering at the registration desk
[Harpoetta]: night Pickles
[Willace-the-Clown]: Pickles saved a bird
[Lolly Plop]: Hi Harpoetta
[Jolly Well]: ah nope - well maybe - I'd need to know what it is exactly Assuming you're talking about Hugo?
[Pam-cakes]: ohh thats from 2005, never mind
[Willace-the-Clown]: Princess turned into a rabbit & eats hay
[Pam-cakes]: yes sir, Hugo
[Fitzwilly]: I am not familar with the Draw Me a Tree" system
[Jolly Well]: I'm really going to talk magic and hang out with some friends Anything I get from the festival is bonus
[Bodiddly]: hi Book
[Pam-cakes]: ohh cool,,,i am trying to learn what its all about
[Jolly Well]: It's sort of a mentalism effect. More science than magic, but it's often sold as mentalism magic. In a nutshell you have someone draw you a tree - and you decipher their drawing. Method comes across as mentalism/Tarot/whatever
[Harpoetta]: ok, what are these dancing butterfly things that Fitz said people were requesting, and who was it that wanted them?
[Jolly Well]: Draw Me A Tree - w/ Rudy Hunter (DVD) - Draw me a Tree
[Fitzwilly]: Jolly - that is the best way to spend a festival.
[Fitzwilly]: Bookies Back? I thought you were out of here?
[Jolly Well]: Dancing Butterflies - Make two butterflies dance for your audience.Magic Geek - Butterflies
[Pam-cakes]: that butterly site reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite for some reason
[Harpoetta]: Jolly, can you describe them please, if I try to watch it now, I'll get kicked off again
[Jolly Well]: heh, the batman drawing
[Pam-cakes]: yep and the letters
[Fitzwilly]: Jolly - one of these days I have got to hang with you at a convention.
[Jolly Well]: Definitely - I'll get to moose eventually. It's hard to get away as it's during my festival season (unfortunately most camps are)
[Pam-cakes]: you should teach stilt walking
[Willace-the-Clown]: someone want to hang out with me?
[Jolly Well]: I'm booked for 09, but will leave my plans open for the following year
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Fitz-I just found out that the Texas Clown Association convention is the same time as the Midwest Round up
[Jolly Well]: Harpo - basically the fan causes the paper butterflies to fly around
[Jolly Well]: for the finale, dozens of butterflies join in the dance
[Harpoetta]: oh, those, gotcha
[Jolly Well]: some versions use fewer butterflies that are larger and have better control
[Fitzwilly]: Oh no! You sure are gonna miss those Texas clowns aren't you?
[Jolly Well]: You ever make the Winter Carnival or IJA in Winston Salem?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: LOL! I'm torn! One's more convenient, the other I really wanna go to!
[Pam-cakes]: no
[Pam-cakes]: ive only been there one time
[Jolly Well]: ah - IJA Convention is pretty fun. Winter Carnival is also, but maybe not so much if you dont do much/any magic
[Fitzwilly]: Welcome Jusby.
[Willace-the-Clown]: Well WB Jusby
[Willace-the-Clown]: all the pudding is gone so is the Squid
[Pam-cakes]: my cousin does it and ill talk to him abbout
[Pam-cakes]: it
[Fitzwilly]: I haven't been to either. The last few years my vacation time was committed to teaching at Moosecamp, Midwest and COAI. I am hoping to start teaching at more of the regional conventions.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Jolly sounds like fun
[Jolly Well]: It's fun stuff. Downside is that it can get expensive quick
[Pam-cakes]: i'll mooch off him then (teehee)
[Mr. Dazzle]: well I think I'm going to call it a night...
[Jolly Well]: ah, gotcha. Winter Carnival is nice. Convenient (for me anyway) as it's held in early spring before Festivals come into full swing
[Harpoetta]: wb Azzy
[Jolly Well]: Cya Mr D
[Mr. Dazzle]: I've got work tomorrow and I'm exhausted.

[Jolly Well]: Know "Captain Jim", "Charles "Chaz" Misenheimer", Ken or Becki Julian, "Just Paul"?
[Mr. Dazzle]: Fitz... What do you think of my New and Improved Elf Character??
[Rainbow D. Clown]: for a class you mean?
[Pam-cakes]: "captain Jim"
[Pam-cakes]: sounds really familiar
[Fitzwilly]: I like the look.
[Willace-the-Clown]: he looks like the elf that would be singing rock around the chistmas tree
[Jolly Well]: Fitz - you know Bobby Lilly? He's local(ish) to me - Good Balloon Guy - he makes Twist & Shout most years
[Fitzwilly]: Sure do Rain. Since it works so well for you I would like to see you teaching.
[azzy]: ack I might need to go iphone camping soon
[Pam-cakes]: i think Captain Jim has a link on my mentors site, thats how i know him
[Mr. Dazzle]: lol... Thanks WIll... I do like that song...
[Fitzwilly]: I recognize the name but I have only made T&S once. Last year I went to Diamond Jam instead and I missed both this year.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I like to think I'm the hippest elf at the North Pole.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Ok. I'll try to put one together. I haven't taught the biz side before, but, I've come to realize that I have a system and when I work it, I work!
[Fitzwilly]: Azzy?????
[Fitzwilly]: Jusby - Are you in Michigan now?
[Jusbytheclown]: not yet not yet
[Willace-the-Clown]: 12:00 AM EST
[Jolly Well]: Ah - Cap Jim is a nice guy. Doesn't do much sleights, but has some NICE props. Lost his leg in a motorcycle accident but turned it into a show (Pirate) - down to wooden peg leg and all.

[Jolly Well]: closest I came to being a stripper was using an R rated sponge prop from Goshman
[Jusbytheclown]: their bachelorette party won't be until the last day I'm in michigan, but if they moved it I think it would be the more appropriate choice for a clown
[Willace-the-Clown]: in face pam
[Pam-cakes]: in face what
[Pam-cakes]: ohhhh never mind
[Pam-cakes]: i didnt just say that
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I work a lot of restaurants that have a bar, and every now and then there's a "celebration" of sorts. Bachelor/ette, birthdays, etc. It's always loads of fun
[Fitzwilly]: :red:
[Willace-the-Clown]: In Face means in clown
[Jusbytheclown]: apparently the bride used to be a clown, so I'd be well recieved
[Jamz]: hey my hambuger balloon worked I got another restraunt to work at

[Fitzwilly]: I'm really enjoying it. Tips are good, the staff is fun to work with. I just wish they would up to every week instead of every other.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Actually, just 2 right now, but one is twice a week.
[Harpoetta]: I love Texas Roadhouse, such great steaks
[Pam-cakes]: and rolls!
[Harpoetta]: great dinner rolls and cinnamin butter, too
[Jamz]: great bread too
[Jolly Well]: Fitz - you ever check with your local theater to see if they were open to the idea of lobby entertainment?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: It's the summer. Be patient and hit 'em up for it at the beginning of September when their numbers are up
[azzy]: texas roadhouse good?
[Willace-the-Clown]: I'm still hoeing for a restruint gig or a part time job but no one is hireing they are only letting people go
[azzy]: hrm
[Jamz]: yes a lot of tips
[Fitzwilly]: I haven't yet. Thanks for reeminding me.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: This next week I'm cold calling on 3 I have my eyes on. If they don't work out, I have 3 warm contacts to work on.
[Jusbytheclown]: anyone blog?
[Pam-cakes]: i am going to sleep now,,,i hope i amazed you all with my slow witts this evening
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Willace, where you at again?

[Rainbow D. Clown]: When was the last time you talked to someone about a restaurant gig?
[Fitzwilly]: I have two every week and Dave's every other week. I have another on the line but they want a night I already have booked so we are talking. I may put a couple of my friends in there on a rotating basis.
[Pam-cakes]: gnight my friends
[Fitzwilly]: Night Pam
[Willace-the-Clown]: when a restruint called ali gators was called the tavern
[Jusbytheclown]: gwon git
[Willace-the-Clown]: i guess a lil over a year ago
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Fitz that's a great strategy I like to use. It keeps things fresh and new at the restaurant and provides flexability in your schedule
[Jamz]: you have to keep at them till they realize they need you there
[Fitzwilly]: You Blog Jusby? I need to get in the habit.
[djtheclown205]: Well everyone have a nice chat and enjoy your selfs.
[Jusbytheclown]: it's a healthy habit
[Jamz]: I got to go goodnight all
[Fitzwilly]: Now that I am working at this full time I am working it.
[Willace-the-Clown]: night DJ
[djtheclown205]: I am going to bed so good night.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Is it uncomfortable for you to approach people sometimes Willace?
[Fitzwilly]: Night DJ
[Fitzwilly]: Night Jamz
[Jusbytheclown]: nite dj
[Willace-the-Clown]: The only new place opening up is Chuck E Cheese
[Harpoetta]: night DJ
[Rainbow D. Clown]: nite jamz
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea as will I'm not much a talker Plus i'm not one to bug people unless i'm mad at them
[Jolly Well]: Chuck E Cheese is a pain to work with or work at.
[Willace-the-Clown]: my dad wants to go to Chuck E Cheese
[Rainbow D. Clown]: That's pretty normal Willace. Some clowns love the biz side (like me) and some just love doing what they do, but are uncomfortable trying to find places to do it.
[Jolly Well]: Try making up some of your better balloons - leave a business card and a letter explaining your services -- there was a sample one on the forum a log time ago. If you're not comfortable approaching people, it will at least get your card in someone's hand. Just drop a balloon arrangement off during non-peak hours
[Willace-the-Clown]: I haven't even got a call for a party in a long time
[Fitzwilly]: Willace -- is there a Cici's Pizza near you? I know that they have entertainers, usually it is tips only but it would get you out there and get you some experience. And they are more likely to say yes.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I would love to have a system set up where clowns can call me and tell me thier working goals, and I'd get the ball rolling for them so they can just go do thier thing. I love talking business with others
[Jusbytheclown]: whoo hooo YES
[Jusbytheclown]: what's yr #?!
[Willace-the-Clown]: i think there is one near me other other one i know of is in Funky's nabhorhood to far to go to every week
[Fitzwilly]: Rain - we need to talk shop sometime.
[azzy]: I'm just leaving, I'll got to AT&T at 6am
[Willace-the-Clown]: I been thinking of trying perkins again cuz they have that kids eat free tuesdays
[azzy]: bye folks
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I'm game! You have no idea!!!
[Jolly Well]: On the more sleazy side of balloon twisting --- it looks like I'm going to get some business from a local strip club making balloon bikinis and random decor
[Rainbow D. Clown]: nite azzy
[Fitzwilly]: Hey Azzy - did you ever sell your old iphone to that guy in europe?
[azzy]: Willace: perkins here has a balloon man on kids day
[Harpoetta]: night Azzy
[azzy]: Fitz: yeh and it's been a sad sad month :P
[azzy]: bye!
[Willace-the-Clown]: my best balloon is my crown
[Fitzwilly]: Bye Azzy
[Willace-the-Clown]: my second best is the two balloon hat
[Fitzwilly]: Willace - what about going through some of those DVDs you got in the Christmas swap and making some of those things?
[Fitzwilly]: Well Jolly - It pays the bills.
[Fitzwilly]: By the way, how did you land that gig?
[Willace-the-Clown]: i donno maybe if i watch them again i might get more ideas for new balloons
[Jolly Well]: Is there a movie theatre chain in your neighborhood? Approaching them for promotion work usually turns out ok. It may be for tips and perks only, but generally you'll do well in tips in theatres
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Willace, if you are serious about wanting to do some gigs, let me know. You can even call me, we'll talk about your goals and the kinds of places you want to be in, and I'll help you. But you have to be serious
[Fitzwilly]: Will - what about copying what is on the tapes.
[Willace-the-Clown]: I love to clown but all i get to do is that hospital work & Clown week
[Rainbow D. Clown]: All we need to do is talk about you, what you do, what you expect and when and where you want to do it. Then you ge me some local numbers of some locations, and I'll get you in
[Willace-the-Clown]: i donno fitz
[Willace-the-Clown]: my dad sez it seems like fortmyers dont like clown
[Jolly Well]: I'd made a balloon bikini for a frend who use to work at one. Assuming the owner or other dancers saw it an liked the idea for a theme night
[Fitzwilly]: That is what most twisters do. They watch the tapes and copy the pieces on the tape, then they do those at the restaurant or at their birthday parties. That is why they buy the DVDs in the first place.
[Jusbytheclown]: BTW, I realized that I will arrive in Michigan... on a THURSDAY... my first assignment will be meeting local clowns... then chatting that night
[Willace-the-Clown]: mot of my paying gigs were in the two naboring towns
[Rainbow D. Clown]: restaurants are great places to practice too. It's cool to get paid to practice!
[Jolly Well]: Some of the best balloon twisters I've ever met have never been to conventons or festivals. They learned 100% from books and dvds
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea i been tring to get into restaurants for 3 years
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Just contact me if you're interested. I wont push, cuz it has to be something you really want to do. But Fitzy.....that's the kinda thing I'd love to do.
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Whatcha think?
[Willace-the-Clown]: wheat i would do is face paint balloon twisting makeing poodles & roses
[Fitzwilly]: Willace start by picking one DVD and learn the first sculpture until you can turn off the DVD and make it. Then work on the second sculpture.
[Jolly Well]: How far is Fort Myers from Cape Coral?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: I've only been to one convention. Joey to the world. It wasn't focused on ballooning. I've learned everything from books, videos, and playing around.
[Lolly Plop]: Willace I try to learn a new balloon every week
[Fitzwilly]: Rain - In the right circumstances you are on the right track.
[Willace-the-Clown]: i donno both cape Coral & naples is about a half hour give or take
[Fitzwilly]: Will - how is you balloon supply right now?
[Rainbow D. Clown]: Well, that's pretty much how I built my business here, plus I trained new talent too
[Jusbytheclown]: yeah. i need to plug that balloon video back in and convert it to the computer
[Jolly Well]: ah - I may be able to get you into a Theatre in Cape Coral if you're interested. I'm certain it'd be for tips only (+ some free movie tickets)
