Backyard PartyAugust 20th, 2011Nice and comfortable. This client had a Child’s Party in her backyard. I was on a comfortable, closed in porch. There was a bouncy-house outside.

Made me feel like the Big People have Big Hearts. They get involved in important causes. And it made me realize that I too could be a ‘Big Person’. I could behave that way too.

My Agent sent me to a house that was down the block from the house where I grew up. Arrived a few minutes early, parked beside a house where I used to play with a little girl named Valerie. and….. everything changes. It was just another house for me. Like having been sent Anywhere. Except traveling to get there was real easy. Black/White Party. I arrived early and practiced a few in the car. it was fun because I was getting in to the Exaggerations just the right amount.
A good time was had by all. To Hire this Artist: |
