Several of us clowns had our husbands and children in the audience of the 5:30 show. We could hear the three-year-old laughing and commenting from his front row seat. A younger three-year-old was scared. My Kid was thrilled by a visit to the light booth after the show. We had a little party. It was [...]

I was mortified, on the way home, when I realized I had not gone back and hung up my cape properly. I must be a little OCD because I thought about it all the way home. I had gone straight from the stage to the upstairs dressing room where the props are kept, but Kendall [...]

On the way to do the show tonight I passed a poster for the currently playing puppet version of “The Women of Troy” as I opened the door and went down the stairs, through the gunmetal grey narrow basement hallway, past the broken piano and up the back stairs to the sound of the music [...]

My Kid will be there and so will the children of the other women clowns who have offspring old enough to sit through a live performance. My technically minded daughter is also looking forward to getting a closer look at the light booth.

My Kid and other offspring of the clowns on stage were in the audience today. That was fun. We could hear the little boy laughing and commenting. A younger one was scared for a moment. My Kid was thrilled by a visit to the light booth after the show.

I was thinking of the comments from an actor who came to the show last night.  He also does some stage clown work.  He’s youngish white male from a traditional background. He was blown away by the female energy he felt coming from the stage.  The thing that is surprising to me is that it [...]

We’re not yet up.  I’ve just gotten to the point where I suddenly realize that the coffee I have consumed this morning is not enough and I must have food now.  However, in the time since we woke up but didn’t get out of bed except to make coffee, we’ve bought tickets to see Barack [...]

We had a full house and they laughed. Afterwards I talked for a few minutes with some of my friends, from Jef Johnson’s Clownlab, who came together to see the show. One of the guys was quite impressed with all the female energy.  He said he fell in love with all of the women and [...]

The world is watching us and begging us to think of others.  That is what the Nobel committee has said so effectively by giving the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama before he has even done anything.  I fear, that they fear, that we, the self-absorbed people of the United States of America (Congress, [...]

I woke up at 5:30 am worried about  video tapes that have never been transfered to DVDs Tonight after dinner, I wanted to upload a photo of myself to go with my bio for the syndicated blog that I am behind on because I got distracted by the PR for the clown show that opens [...]
