Woman's University Club

I had just finished a show at the market late Friday afternoon when a woman approached me. She asked f I would like to perform for a "Pike Place Market" theme dinner at the Woman's University Club at 6PM. We negotiated a fee and she gave me the address. It was only a couple of miles away. She kept looking at the newspaper box that I stand on wondering how we could get that to the gig. I assured her that a chair would do fine. I asked her if I should go home shave and put on my formal performing attire and she said she wanted me to look like a street performer from the market. I got to the gig and felt like a fish out of water. At the end I realized it's not how you look, It's how you carry yourself. I was invited to stay for dinner and enjoyed, crab legs, shrimp, mussels, salmon, asparagus, and a bit of prime rib. I did a combination of strolling magic and mini street sets between a few of the 8 top tables. My performances were well received and I handed out a bunch of business cards.



This is the room that I worked. Lovely.
