Robert "The Butterfly Man" Nelson

For those of you unaware of the situation, Robert is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for Cancer. He is fighting the good fight on the big island of Hawaii. My good friend and international stilt performer, Martin Ewen, is hanging with Robert and posting occasional reports on the situation...

If you know, love or have been inspired by Robert in anyway, please send your thought, your prayers, and you positive healing vibrations his direction. He is fighting a good fight, but he can use all the help and extra energy that can be mustered. We're all thinking about you and looking forward to a speedy recovery Robert.

Hilby "The Skinny German Juggling Boy"

Hilby will be appearing at Lebanon Valley College in Annville Pa, on October, 15th at 9:00PM. Click here for more info

Hilby performs a very funny comedy juggling act and is a very likable character, both on stage and off. I have had the pleasure of working with Hilby in the past, and am happy to count him among one of my friends. If you are nearby, do not miss this show. It will be lots of fun.

Kris Kremo

Kris Kremo

I just heard thru the grapevine that Kris Kremo is appearing at The Big E, in Springfield, Mass Sept 17th - Oct 3rd.

I have played this event before and it is one humdinger of a fair. It'd be worth the trip just to see the fair, but to see the legendary Kris Kremo, well... there's really no excuse.
