Off-Tour Butt Glue

I've been off-tour for about two weeks now. Our last show in Dallas, Texas was canceled because of promoter reasons. I'm happy to be off the road for the time being. I'm getting a lot of time to think and do other things that I enjoy that is not possible while on the road. For example, I can finally play World of Warcraft again. In all of the hotels we stayed, the internet was too flaky for game play (and sometimes even just regular browsing).

We did a birthday party show for The Reverend Tommy Gunn's son, which was a lot of fun. I think everyone really enjoyed themselves.

"The Amazing Chris" really needs a new name. We are open to suggestions.

In other news, he built himself a throwing board so he can practice knife-throwing (without me). He also gave me a shiny black and white diamond engagement ring...

So... you know. We're getting married.

As for me, I've been doing a lot of sitting around. Mostly writing and doing other non-show related things. I should really get back on hooping practice, stretching, and juggling... but it seems that my butt is glued to various pieces of furniture.

Demolition Derby Freaks!

Tonight was the second to last night at the Razorback Fair (or is it Ozark Mountain Fair?) in Fayetteville, Arkansas. There was a demolition derby and it brought in our largest crowd yet. It was actually my first time witnessing a demolition derby and I must say it was incredible. The car that I was rooting for (number 42) really held his own and I was convinced that he would win, but after all of his tires blew, he was kind of screwed. One wheel was completely sideways.

We got to do a pre-show for the derby, which was pretty rockin'. It was probably the most responsive crowd we'd had this whole tour (even though most of them were just checking me out).

We did our last show at 10:30 for a huge crowd that loved it. A lot of people came up for stapling (not just little kids this time!) and I proved to be the more popular one as I had several groups of people ask to take pictures with me.

I've been having a great time being on the road and going from fair to fair and I think as soon as I go back "home" (wherever that is, considering I'm practically homeless right now), I'm not going to have a clue what to do with myself. I have a lot of personal work to do, which will be great to accomplish... but I am going to miss this.

Tomorrow is the last day of the fair and then we are off to Dallas, Texas for a huge one day show at the Lakewood Theater. If you're in the area, go there!
