Ian in a bubble!

This is something I hope to have at my show in Baltimore... Baltimore's ArtScape on July 22 & 23 at 7pm, I will be debuting my first ALL-BUBBLE show!! Below is a photo of my son, Ian, in a large bubble. I hope to be able to do this "stunt" in my bubble show for the folks who come to my show -- Artscape. (Google it, please, if you want more information.)

Baltimore's Artscape

I found the link... If you click above (on the title), it will take you to the page that shows my stage show... I'm down at the very bottom of the webpage.

Dick Stohr, "That Yo-Yo Guy," is a friend of mine. He'll be performing on a different stage from mine, at the same time as I am.

Casey Carle

Got to see Casey Carle's show at the Baltimore Science Museum today, and then I purchased his book, gargled bubble juice for him, met his wife & him too, had him sign the book to my 2 sons, and just laughed at his show like crazy. What a crazy stage show!! What fun!!!

By strange "co-incidence?" he was a consultant for Cirque du Soleil's Beatles, "LOVE." To help them do bubble effects for that resident show in Vegas that we didn't get to go see. Small world. He has never met Guy Laliberte. (I asked him.) And, Casey lives in Conn.

Felix!

I got to meet Felix today! At the Baltimore Science Center. He made me a wonderful bubble machine and was bubbling with another bubble machine that he made at the B.S.C. today. Very cool!! Nice guy!!

My promotional postcard shot - showing the variety I have in my stage show. Well, most of it. :)

Greg & Me

From when we did shows before we got married & when we were newly weds. & when we used to have matching costumes that we no longer have!

Guy Laliberte

Got to meet Guy Laliberte - founder, owner, Guide, C.E.O. of Cirque du Soleil. We went to Vegas a few weeks ago (and as I just started this blog tonight, I am adding the photo tonight.) In Vegas, we went to see Cirque du Soleil's "KA," "O," "Zumanity." The Beatles / Cirque du Soleil show "LOVE" was just opening as we went to Vegas, but Greg wasn't thrilled about seeing that one so we didn't go to see it, since we only had 3 nights to pick our show tickets from. After "Zumanity" we saw Guy Laliberte and I walked up to him & asked if we could have our picture taken with him. What a nice guy!!! Very kind & down-to-earth.



I will add photos of me with other famous performers / entertainers as I scan them from my photo album. I've met Penn & Teller, Tommy Smothers "The Yo-Yo Man," Dick Smothers (Tommy's brother), James Doohan ("Scotty" from Star Trek), Brent Spiner, Patrick Stewart, John Delancey, Doc Severensen to name some really big names. I've met a lot of other folks too.

Quidam!

Greg & I went to Quidam yesterday! (July 15)

It just got back from an Asian tour & will be in 3 cities in USA + was in Montreal (?) Quebec, Canada, and then it's heading back over to Europe. Wow! We went to see it in Philadelphia. No pictures allowed in the tent. If you want more information, go to http://www.cirquedusoleil.com

Cirque du Soleil's VAREKAI

Photos from when I was an usher with Cirque du Soleil's "Varekai." This was in Sept & Oct of 2004, I think. When the show was in Washington, D.C. That was so much fun!! The last day the show was in town, I took bubble soap & bubble wands and my violin. The cast had a BLAST playing the bubbles. And also, I showed the violinist (who I had already made acquaintace with) that I invented that I can spin a plate and play violin at the same time. He thought that was ultra-cool. I saw him a year later when the show was in Baltimore, MD, and he invited us to come back & sit with the band!! That was super hip & cool too. Greg sat in the drum pit - it's soundproof from the outside. He had a metronome going in his head-set the whole time. And I sat next to the bandleader (keyboard player) and behind Vuk Krakovic (the violinist). I **LOVE** violin music!! What a blast! It was ultra-odd to watch the show that I know so incredibly well, backwards. The show didn't read as well ... very odd to see the whole thing backwards. What an experience!!

I don't know why, but the photos seem to have odd black spots. If you click on the photo, it will open without the black spots in a seperate window.
