Been extremely busy since my last post. I attended VentHaven, the International Ventriloquist Convention in Ft. Mitchell, KY. last week. Mark Wade, the convention director, asked me to open the Wednesday night show. I was also requested to work with Mark Truman and Sue Johnson to form the new sound crew for the event. The entire convention, I ran around like a mad man trying to make certain everything went smoothly. It was fun and extremely exhausting.
Two days off, and now I am working again. This week at a small fair in central NJ. The temp today was in the mid-90's with high humidity. I'm doing daytime shows and audiences are in the sun. They hung with me, but they were very quiet due to the heat. Sad thing is, today was supposed to be the coolest day of the run.
These type shows are seldom rewarding. Still, I do my best to entertain and am grateful for the check at the end of the week. A young girl came to talk with me later in the day. Her mother said she really enjoyed my show and it was all she had been talking about. At least one person had a good time, so it made the day a bit easier to deal with. Now to grab some sleep!
