I have a bit over a week off from everything ... so I'm quite excited about that. It's not often that I get that much time off, although I usually try to arrange it over Christmas so it happens. So, this means one thing - R2 building! R2 is actually close to done if I were to just stick all the pieces together, but where's the fun in that?
So over the next week I'm going to try to give R2-D2 a third leg that extends mechanically. Wish me luck!

Rewrites!
This was a busy weekend for me! I did a corporate show Saturday and two Star Wars shows Sunday. (The corporate show was quite the shindig - I was impressed!)
The two Star Wars parties were interesting. I'd been tinkering with the script, and since I had two shows in a row I rolled out the new script. Several routines were totally refocused - the same trick but with a different routine presenting them - and the show itself was changed in focus. I thought it flowed better this way, so I'm pleased with it. It's always fun changing the show up. It keeps me on my toes, and every once in a while I hit on something I'm really pleased with. :-)
I also have been thinking about the show I'm presenting now and the show I had a year ago - both were good shows, but about half the material has changed in the last year. I really have fun trying new tricks, and the show keeps changing as a result. Hopefully for the better!

Coolness!
I did two parties Saturday, both for repeat customers which is quite nice, I always appreciate that quite a bit.
When I went to the first show, they walked me into the room where I would perform, and in the back was an eight foot long banner with my logo on it! I was totally blown away! I have never had anything like that happen before!
They'd found some magic imagery on the web, added my logo, and it looked great. And after the show they rolled it up and gave it to me! The father told me how to make a frame for it, so I am going to do that and might start using it as a backdrop. I'm totally delighted with this, that really was the coolest thing I've ever had happen during a show!
