Honestly, my life's not really that wacky. I work a day job, I write and read in my spare time, I do chores, I walk the dog. Well, then there's the circus. But who doesn't have a little adult psychedelic steampunk vaudevillian tomfoolery in their lives?If you don't you should.
The circus has been an amazing experience. When I first joined up last year, it was way, waaaaaaaaaay outta my comfort zone. Singing without a score? Making shit up as I go along? How the bloody hell am I supposed to do that?
"Quit," my inner skeptic was telling me. "Quit now. You kinda suck at it anyway and you don't fit in here."
Hey inner skeptic. Go f*%# yourself!
I stuck around. I had a great time. And this year the whole thing has exploded.
Bigger tent:
(that's it going up today!)
Bigger acts:
Bigger bandstand:
Hell, we even recorded a CD of the original soundtrack!
Oh sure, we had to huddle into a closet in 90 degree heat for 8 hours, but its going to sound awesome.
So yeah, I'm plugging it again, but only because I think it's an amazing experience for performers and audience alike. And we open in just over 2 weeks!!!!!
