In an hour the airport shuttle will take me to Sea-Tac Airport as I begin my adventure to Cincinnati for 6 days. When I return I will start a new job managing the Children's Museum Gift Shop. I hope to turn their store around and make it the profit center that it should be. The Executive Director asked me if I had a resume, I said no. . . I've got something better, experience.

I've had a busy weekend full of performing. The days, I worked at Pike Place Market banging out some street shows. In the evenings I worked the Fenix Underground. My street shows have become very tight and streamlined for the ever dissipating attention span. The world is a changing place. At the Fenix the club is so loud, most of the time I work in pantomime. I performed the Deans Box, Cups and Rings all without saying a word. This departure for my normal spewing of bullshit was a nice change of pace. Thank you Philemon, for allowing me to fill in for you this weekend. I needed the cash. I was tipped well and had 4 doubles of Crown Royal in the two hours I worked. Yow Baby! Worked with my topit a bit. Had a lot of fun.

While in Cincinnati, I'll be performing for a Proctor & Gamble function. I'll also be calling up some of my old magic students, see if they want a lesson while I'm in town. One man, an interesting man of note, Randy Michael's former CEO and the guy who built Clear Channel. He is a serious fan of magic who dabbles and always serves up the cuban cigars. His story is a fascinating one. He opened up his first radio at the age of 9. At 12 he started a radio repair business. I guess the rest is history.

I talked to Tony Comito over the weekend about the next lecture coming in November, Danny Cole.

Also had a nice Chat with Tim Flynn on the phone last night. He was asking about lessons. I am available for private lessons. I will also be trying to get back in the session loop. I'm sorry I've been missing the Elks Club and the South Center Sessions.

So there you have it

Be nice to each other, behave while I'm gone, use your manners and don't kill anyone.

And for those of you in Cincinnati, I will see you shortly. Session at Haines House of Cards Saturday Noon-4
Be there or be pregnant I will have my phone with me. Call me and we'll hook up! 206 335-1545
