Clown
« Previous EntriesEnd of the World
Thursday, March 5th, 2009Yesterday I spent a good part of the day making balloons at a housing fair. This was one of those great ideas that universities have where they cram a large number of competitors into a single hall and hope that students stop by. This fair is one that we do every year and I have [...]
Balloons Are Awesome
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008I recently got asked to start making balloon animals at the local TGI Fridays on Saturday evenings. This means that I will start obsessing over balloons again. Which is good because they are awesome. They have changed a lot since I first started. Electric pumps are now super expensive and fancy, there is a whole [...]
Clown in search of a Dummy
Saturday, October 20th, 2007I have always been secretly, or not so secretly, amazed by ventriloquism.

Normally, like a lot of clowns, my clown character is just an offshoot of my personality; unlike [...]

Then I started looking for a place to get business cards. After many a fruitless search both online and in the real world I had yet [...]
Childrens Festival
Sunday, April 1st, 2007The childrens festival went great this year, all of the entertainment acts showed up and the audiences at all of the performances where responsive and larger then previous years.
The only problem we had is we got a pretty crappy sound set up. This wasn’t a problem for a lot of the day except when we [...]
Clown costume accesories
Friday, March 30th, 2007I was going through my clown costumes for the childrens festival and I realized something. I have been wearing a part of my costume that I never use and no one ever sees. When I first started clowning I thought that pants falling down while clowning was hilarious, I thought it was the funniest thing [...]
