So this weekend I had a juggling gig up in Tiburton (a few miles passed San Francisco). It was the first time I ever tried adding balloon animal twisting along with my usual juggling and kid’s comedy show. The clients seemed more impressed with the balloons and thought I was pretty skilled with balloon art… haha… suckers… I don’t really practice it. It doesn’t really take intense training like juggling does, or at least the level of juggling I practice which I think requires either one of two things: a huge passion/determination or no life whatsoever. Na, just kidding juggling is my life… great life huh? But going back on topic, I think I am tending to become more of a clown than a juggler now that I twist balloon animals at my gigs. Let’s just hope that I don’t start wearing a big red nose, tie-dye afro, and polka dot pants…
I do have some more gigs coming up that I am looking forward to. Some are events on campus like the family student housing juggling show, and the “Mixed Nuts” performance coming up soon. I also have a talent show in Oakland next week, so I have to start training even harder if I want a chance at doing a flawless performance. If I do that then I think I have a good chance at winning the $800 cash prize. I have also been wanting to do some stand-up comedy around Santa Cruz; I think I will start with some poetry slams or open-mic nights. I just hope the hippies don’t get mad at me as I will be talking about them and making fun of them. Oh, and I am going to try and get on Planet Cruz Comedy with some comedian friends I networked with during a talent show I did last quarter. Things are looking sweet, more updates coming soon!
