Just got home and the show was great

Well, we just got home from our weekend at Steve Kissell's Clown Jamboree in Mystic CT. The Friday night show that we were hired to perform went great! All of our stuff was well received with lots of laughs and we even got a standing Ovation. I love this crowd, they enjoy our work mainly because they have seen Phineas and Pupperdoodle grow up here. We got some video footage so we will probably put something up on our YouTube channel soon. This will be our 11th year attending this convention but this time we were the hired performers. This year was also the 20th Anniversary of when Doug Chapman and Sue Connely started this convention so they were there as the Honorees Saturday night. It was fun to see them and catch up with them and their family.  Staffing the convention, and lecturing this year were the one and only Joe Barney and his son Alex Barney. They are a real circus family....Joe plays PT Barnum for Ringling Brothers PR and Alex just came off 4 years as a member of clown alley in the blue unit. They performed and told circus family stories that we could listen to all night. Phineas spent the weekend learning the real deal about being in clown alley with the Greatest Show on Earth.  Overall a very nice relaxing weekend with good friends framed by great shows.
'till next time .....keep 'em clean
