Holy cats. I'm looking at the pieces of paper that make it official: I'm going to be performing with Phoenix Swords at the Gulf Coast Renaissance Faire! (That's March 6-7, for those of you who feel like being in Pensacola around that time).

As a jester, no less. Not only that, but someone who's good enough, according to the script, to win a jester competition. (Or at least a found object jesterfight).

Hoo boy. I've got sooooo much work to do. And it all starts now when I google "rubber turkey".

ooh i used to have oneof those
they kick rubber chickens asses,..

I like to put a condom on the inside of one and then fill the condom up with shaving cream and tie it closed,
takes a few tries to get it right, but once you do you have a wonderful bludgeon that will vomit a spray of white foam everytim eyou swing it or hit somehting with it after the condom pops on the first or second hit...

Oneo fthe best quotes i have ever gotten concerning the hardcore slapstick we do was concenring that

The fellow said,
"I never though rubber chickens were funny until I saw him beat the crap out of someone with one"

what kind of rubber turkey are you getting?
rubber chicken style
or like a rubber cooked turkey?

they have some nice turkey/mutton legs made of rubber
that are crumple-able
you can fold crush squish them down to almost nothing

blah blah blah
rambling
sounds very cool
whats does jester off found object competition consist of?

KK!

Very cool!
Do you contact juggle? Cuz if you do, I'll give you my contact juggling ball, which I bought in a fit of thinking it was a skill I might learn, practiced for about three weeks, realized I wasn't instantly picking it up, and then stopped.
Also...this won't affect your participation in KAF, will it?

If I now have to run to google to look up contact juggling, it's pretty safe to say I don't do it, huh? :)

And no, this shouldn't be a time conflict; do you know about when KAF rehearsals are starting? I think this'll be ending just in time for me to shift focus.

*grin* Contact juggling is what Jareth did in "Labyrinth" when he was playing with the clear balls to show off for Sarah. Except it wasn't David Bowie doing it, it was this guy named Michael Motion (I think) standing behind Bowie with his hands in front.

They're talking about rehearsals starting at the beginning of March, although primarily for fighters, but that's not set in stone yet. They're having a staff meeting tonight, so hopefully things will be more finalized after that.

Drinking Moxie, obviously!

(Of course, the proper time to ask me this isn't now, it's after I've gone there and NOT completely bombed in front of 2000 people, ruining the fair and causing all the other performers to spit on me. Not that I've played the "worst case scenario" imagination game with this or anything, oh no.)
