Yes, we were beginning to wonder where you were.

Hey, can you fly a CL airplane while standing on a board balanced on a barrel in your teeth while playing the fiddle?  Maybe you are already practicing that now!

Keep it up, we enjoy the videos.

I highly recommend this book -- it's what did it for me.  Don't believe the "8-12" part -- they mean "8-120".  It took me about a month, with two thirty-minute practice sessions a day (it was my commute to college).

About two weeks into the process my cousin and roomie at the time read the book, picked up the balls, and juggled.  It may have been the closest he's ever come to a painful and violent death.

Shug:

Here is your reading assignment, a true story:

Memoirs of a Sword Swallower by Daniel P. Mannix

Might be a little hard to find, but it is great!

After graduating from college (in the 1930s?) Mr. Mannix decides to write the "great American novel" but has no life experience so joins a traveling side-show as a worker, helping to put up and take down the tent.  We get introduced to all the freaks including the human pin-cushion, the ostrich, the fat-lady, etc.  He works his way up to be a sword swallower!  And we get a glimpse of a way of life and of a time that is now mostly gone.

This is an absolutely fascinating and wonderful story.

Ha! I should have know. Given the quality of your presentations and as much as I've enjoyed them, I've though to suggest that you should be in the entertainment business.

Yup.  If anyone refers to us as "a bunch of clowns flying airplanes on strings", we can respond "well, at least one of us..."

I did do the Missouri State fair two years ago… I won MVP of new performers. Really nice folks there ate a lot of barbecue drink a lot of sweet tea

Geez, I forgot to write the section about balancing on a barrel, while flying round and round with the control handle in your teeth.  Maybe you can write that section!

Another cool bit of press today.....http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/09/05/sean-emery-24-years-of-serious-clowning-at-the-minnesota-state-fair/#comments (http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/09/05/sean-emery-24-years-of-serious-clowning-at-the-minnesota-state-fair/#comments)
Have seen a few control line flyers out at the Fair seeing my show. Two more days and I can go into a light doze for a bit.
My job is all or nothing!
