Hi Folks! I'm back! Many different factors have gotten in the way of blogging over the past couple weeks, but I have not forgotten. Quick shout out to my sister whose birthday was yesterday. Happy B-day Katie!! Have fun in Florida!
Yesterday we performed at a nursing home in Brattleboro at what is termed a "good karma" show. It is an unpaid gig that NECCA sponsors in order to give back to the community and spread the word about circus. Micah and I performed the second half of the act we created last winter. We had to bring some of the tricks down a level (literally) because the ceilings were low, but it was still a ton of fun anyway. Vanessa Vortex did a great job MCing the event. There were impressive feats of mouth ping pong ball juggling and sword/acro tricking. In general, these NECCA folks are just a great group of people to work with, paid or not. And I think the residents enjoyed the performance despite the seeming lack of enthusiasm. Perhaps our level of self assuredness just worked to put them at ease. Maybe next time we can get them doing two highs with us!
