Default Hi from Finito

I've been attracted to clowning for as long as I can remember! Mom would bring me to RBBB each and every year and those clown gags were simply MAGIC! When I was a young teenager I participated in a few parades with a youth group and being the madcap personality that I am, they elected me to be a clown... at first i was a bit apprehensive, you know, walking around like a blooming idiot while my friends all prepared final adjustments on the banners and what not but once we got marching and the kids saw me, WOW! WOWeWow! I was an instant celebrity and EVERYONE loved me! I felt like a living breathing cartoon character! So that's how I got bit by the bug... I had to put all that clowning business off for a while, but it remained lodged at the back of my skull until a few years ago when i began working for an amusement company. I just couldn't ignore it any more and here I am! I'm looking to join a local alley, fortunately for me there are quite a few in Mass! Anyone in the area looking for new friend? ;@)

Hi Finito. I'm also newbie in this forum.

I'd love to hear about how you decided to become a clown, how long you've been clowning.

Welcome aboard the crazy train. We have a lot of fun and share a whole bunch. So... ask questions, give answers and beware of Tim. Seriously, Tim is a good guy, and has some good insights. There are days though... Of course he says the same about me.

So once again welcome.
