What Happens In Mexico...

Sorry for the delay in updates. I flew into Cancun on Sept. 10, had to skirt around Hurricane Ike, so we arrived late. I've just finished my first week and have to say everything went great with the exception of Mexican Independance Day.

That evening I was scheduled to perform at a resort in Tulum. They were having a huge Mexican Fiesta, dancing, music, games and food on a huge plaza. They dropped my show right into the mix - so imagine being immersed in Mexican culture and STOP - here is an American Ventriloquil who you can barely see from the rear of the plaza. The audience was far enough back I couldn't connect with more than the front few tables and the show DIED.

I was extremely upset I was placed in that situation. When I return next week I intend to have a chat with the staff about set up!

On a lighter note - I visited the Mayan ruins of Coba Wednesday. Had a great time and shot some video for an upcoming project about Dangerous Duck in Mexico. When I have time to edit I will post it on the net and provide a link.

Well. have to go walk the beach - my driver doesn't pick me up until 5:30 tonight. Its a tough life down here... :-)
