just one of those things..the tent guys take a truck to go to the gas station for generator gas and soda pop..they come back to the lot , leave the keys in the ignition ,SOP..the next morning during set up tada..the truck was absent !! cuz a town folk STOLE it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yup yup yup ..wow the stories that went on ,between the masses..
1) took the truck to the bar, running their mouths
2)if it was my show I would never let anyone take a truck
3) they walked to the bar, I couldn't go it was too late they returned by 12:46 am the truck was still here
4) I heard it on the scanner someone stole a circus truck
5) found it in a cornfield, running ,30 miles from the town
6) there has got to be more than ,"I just went and got gas, because we are in a white neighborhood with white people"
7)there are so many crack heads and criminals just looking for stuff to steal
8)so with all those freakin yappy dogs not a peep...
9) they left the keys in the ignition, oh that is asking for it
10)well there was nothin worth anything in that truck
11)let me get this straight
NEXT BIG EVENT Sladek is doing his chair act and one of his leveling boards cracks !!!danger,HE ALMOST LOSES IT ON 4 CHAIRS NEVER EVEN MAKES IT TO 6
he comes down early ! I am in my trailer changing and all of a sudden I hear him apologizing on the mike..I bolt out of the trailer , grab the mike and start doing a stall. The next act comes a running and says , "if you are going to cut your act , let me know "?
NEXT BIG EVENT the lights and sound start going all crazy ..Michelle H does something electriciany and fixes something BUT we have a super long intermission cuz we couldn't get anything to work
in between shows I paint a lot of face....we don't even let people in till 10 minutes after show is supposed to start because ....
NEXT BIG EVENT the second show begins and the sound and lights start going crazy again..turns out some kind of plug thing (the intense 4 color ones wasn't really plugged in
we finish the show, everything is fine and we all drive to the next town.
Jimmy goes to double back for the bunk house,the blue 550 is in the shop..but he goes without a hitch(you need this for towing)because the hitch got moved to another truck to locate trailers while the stolen truck was still stolen
Sladek and Chaz chase him down , give him the hitch...
tomorrow is another day
normally things are pretty smooth
ownership
I thought they were my lights..they are just scene 3!! they are being used for other acts as well..
people can talk ill of me all day long but can they walk in my shoes?!!not that my shoes are anything desirable..
who in their right mind would want my life ?not that I am complaining.
I have 8 more scenes to design and I can't wait..

lighting designer
the other day the generator did one of those surge things and messed up the shows led light board and cables.
fortunately it was under warranty
very fortunately we were near the store
unfortunately you had to program all new lights and "scenes"
fortunately you could manually turn them on
unfortunately no one would do that during the show
fortunately I said to Bob, hey I will program the lights,not knowing what I was saying
today I did just that..programmed 8 scenes of lighting !I programmed lighting for the whole show Bob and Charlie were my assistants!
After we were done programming the led lights Bob said , "I bought a new strobe light, you can program that on the led board" doing modern day lighting is fun and difficult! it took about 2.5 hours. Incredible satisfaction when it was all done.
I now have beautiful lights when I work!My fabric lights are very cool!!The most beautiful lights on the show!and I designed them!! ta da
I have 8 more scenes to program.
I have come to my senses about face painting and during the first intermission Jimmy V, front door manager takes a turn. However Jeremiah Cook, aka Huckleberry asked for a turn ,just for the fun of it! he said " I'll bring you the money, painting is so much fun". Not only is face painting fun, it is very Zen,very relaxing
under the sidewall
we all parked in a line very close to the tent.I put Spartacus' leash on a stake. Spartacus went under the sidewall to make sure I was OK every time I went in the tent. I thought it was very cute. Some times the goats are tied off to tent stakes and they sneak under the sidewall to enjoy the show as well.
new stakes !!
thrilling.. I painted my stakes pink !! it is very pretty and delicate!!
the show stakes are all safety yellow..some people paint their stakes silver..ha ha like that is going to look like chrome..I have never been a big fan of silver spray paint
