Have you run into James Lileks there at the Star-Tribune stage?

Hi Shug, great job keeping the crowd entertained. I was wondering in your opinion who was or is the greatest jugular of all time,
and how would you rate W.C. Fields and Francis Brunn.

Good work Shug! Growing up in Minnesota I figured you were gonna say early frost, this was much more entertaining!

Reminds me of the guys I use to work with at Boeing. Yes, clowns build your army helicopters.

Clowns are actually quite mechanical.

Best in my opinion....Bobby May. Enrico Rastelli was amazing!
WC was a wonderful comedy juggler.
I have met Francis and he was very sweet. Intense but told me to juggle how I want to.

I keep it low-brow for the Fair.

Shug, I was eating lunch in Huntersville when you sat down at the table with a few of us . My son and I knew immediately who you were from this forum. It was certainly a pleasure and it was a very entertaining lunch to say the least. You were quite reserved however, you did get many of laughs from us. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope we can repeat that again some day. I enjoy the videos which make me laugh and also stare in amazement. I'm a unicyclist myself and I truly enjoy watching your moves which makes me quite jealous. I do well on it even to this day but nothing like your style. I taught myself how to ride it and spent many of those sessions on the ground doing so. Ken and Shawn

I do remember that for sure. Had competition on my mind!
Just finished a 12 day run at the MN State Fair.
Keep on that wheel.

I am.
Most are a collection of circus moments and memories. Kinda true and dark.
Two control line stories I have written....https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3m4x71m55nlp54/Patterns...a%20Control%20Line%20Story%20Part%201.docx?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3m4x71m55nlp54/Patterns...a%20Control%20Line%20Story%20Part%201.docx?dl=0)
and https://www.dropbox.com/s/nqm6u6sn6btt8qn/My%20First%20Coerced%20Control%20Line%20Stunt%20Contest.docx?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/nqm6u6sn6btt8qn/My%20First%20Coerced%20Control%20Line%20Stunt%20Contest.docx?dl=0)
I'd rather use the circus stories for short films or theater pieces.
Having rotor cuff surgery in the morning so plan to write during the long recovery time.

Thanks for sharing your memories Shug, hope the shoulder operation goes well. My sons and wife always enjoy your videos no matter if they are on flying C/L or outdoors camping /hiking or cooking, in fact I often spot my wife watching your stunt videos when I come in from the modelling room. She is still trying to learn the pattern and your videos from inside and outside the circle help a lot more then my directions !
Regards Gerald

Way to go, Shug, you have a great knack for expressing yourself as you write. Can't wait for some of those circus stories to be out for watching.
Praying for your surgery and recovery time to go perfectly.
-
Shug, thanks for the entertainment. You are quite a talent, what a gift of good you have been blessed with. You are one funny guy.
Thanks for making my day.

I enjoyed that, Shug. Paul Harvey would always tell you "the rest of the story", well, you did just that here.
In a concert you get to hear the songs, but anyone with the album can do that. What always intrigued me the most was when you would hear the story behind the song, or stories from days on the road. John Denver was good for such stories in his shows. That's what made the real personal connection to me. You have that gift. You have lived a lot, and you are a natural story teller. When you get that book done I'll be in line for a copy.
And if I may say, those pictures of Mrs Shug? You scored, man!!! Lol!!!!

Hope the surgery went well. Follow all the rehab instructions and the arm will be better than before.
I had rotator cuff surgery when I was thirty three. Before the injury, I was throwing 78 MPH.
After the surgery and rehab, the therapist work with me to strengthen my arm. Eight months after my surgery, I was throwing 82 MPH.
Just listen to the doctors and therapist
Good luck Shug!

on the injured list for a few months then coming back with re-newed vigor!!!

My Summer shows have kept me from getting in the amount of flying I crave. When I did I worked on the pattern casually focusing on getting back to the basics.
Shameless highlight clip of my 2019 MN State Fair show.
My shoulder feels 100% after my rotator cuff surgery last Sept 4.

Thanks again Shug for the pics and video. I grew up watching Red on TV and thought he was one of the greatest. Watching you flying the Bi-Slob tells me to dust mine off as I think I can handle it with the bottom half of me acting up. D>K

Hey Shug I got an Email from you today with an attachment. Did you send it?
