      Way to go NYSBS

      To all the New York Street Boys (from Denver) Congratulations on your momentous occasions.

      As a general request, would it be selfish of me to ask that all team acts coordinate their lives so
      they graduate, get engaged, get married, have children, die, et-cetera at relatively the same time?

      It would really make travel, parties and/or fund raisers way more convenient for everyone to attend.

      Just a thought, I'll float it to Joel too.

        the rest are dead ...

        Dear Robert,

        My name is Spencer Teel. I own an IT consulting company in Houston Texas and Pattaya, Thailand. I am 37 years old now and have established myself to the point that I am doing much travel globally the past two years.

        I recently spent 3 days in San Francisco. I am currently in Houston, but am leaving on June 9th to go back to Asia and the UK for several months.

        If possible, I really would love to attend one of your performances. Is there a place on your website that I can look up your schedule? Can you tell me the next time you will be performing in San Francisco?

        I really want to thank you for sharing your gift of laughter 18 years ago in 1987. Your performances kept me going and kept my spirits high enough to endure the 8 months of Chemo Therapy I was taking to beat Cancer at that time. I was only 19 years old and was being treated by the Children's Cancer Research Institute by Dr. Wilbur and Dr. King in San Francisco.

        I don't speak much about ever having had cancer, but when it does come up, many people ask me how I was able to get through the treatment and beat cancer. I always find myself smiling and telling them about my trips each week to the Pier to watch the "Butterfly Man" perform.

        Your outlook on life and ability to walk away from being a chemist to live your life to the fullest, is what truly inspires me. You are the funniest guy I have seen in person and one of the greatest jugglers ever!

        I got your email address from your website.

        I look forward to attending one of your performances. Please let me know where I can see you perform next. I noticed that you do Corporate Performances as well. I am interested in your pricing and scheduling arrangements.

        Sincerely,
        Spencer Teel
        President & CEO

          I never knew IT consultants could be so ill informed about juggling skills! Nice letter. I have a note from a kid named Ben that says "You're better than a clown", but I put him up to writing it.

              Lou Ferrigno is one.

              That's a great letter. If I got something like that, I'd read it every day. It looked at first like one of those bank transfer scam emails.

                Give me an audience, and a guy with a clipboard doing laughs per minute, and I'll bet a grand on me.

                    If there are pushups involved, I'll make it two grand (still on the LPM).

                      I just bought an old Juggling Convention DVD with the funniest moments of Juggling in the eighties. Butt man is on it being dragged on stage for heckling an act.

                        Had a TV spot the other day for Champagne comedy here in Melbourne.
                        It was to Run,,,MC, dog act, MC, me,MC, Close...

                        At the last minite they swapped me and Pete Poodle around as he had more props and they wouldn't have to take his boxes/hoops etc,, off set.

                        I opened with a new routine I have been doing which includes a dozen raw sausages, which gets rather messy finished to applause etc...

                        The stage was swept. thought nothing of it 'till Pete Poodle got up and Lucy(said Poodle) decided to let her nose chase random sausage meat smells that filled the stage rather than jump on the box and twirl her tricks,,,

                        I couldn't watch and went to the bar,It was televised this weekend.. I missed it. Apparantly Pete did get Lucy to perform though.

                          Sounds like a great idea for a hilarious short movie. Like something out of "I Love Lucy"

                            UPN-38

                            I (Sing-along with Kevin M.) will be appearing on UPN-38's morning show during the 7:00 hour on June 28, a 3 minute piece about my street performing gig.
                            Now I really need to get my web site up so I can plug it; any ideas which template type site I should use; I'm not going to learn too much code right away, maybe someday Thanks folks...Kev.

                              partly famous

                              My left hand and my Nils poll hat are plastered all over billboards in Croatia at the moment. I never would have thought that I would end up a hand model !!
                              Thankfully no one has recognised me yet because I'm wearing a glove !!
