What an excellent day. The wind picked up late this afternoon and a few of the local lads were on the water enjoying it. And the best part was that Sar was there to see me do some cool jumps. And take photos. Cool.
It was about 12 months ago that I Sar was watching me try to surf and saw me fail dismally. She just laughed. I usually pick up stuff fairly quickly. The day Sar was there I just couldn’t do it. Now look at me.
I have been going through all the old videos that I have made and slowly putting them online.
This is the 2nd one that I did. On my Dad’s spanky new $7,000 500MHz G3 Powerbook with iMovie 1. Yep, iMovie one shat itself big time causing massive corruption on the 12GB Hard disk and destroying 2 videos that I had made.
Apart from the guy that gave me $2 for the parking meter…
This morning I got dressed up in a morning suit with Sam Hryckow (Pronounced Ritzkoff) mrfish.com.au and Eric Jarlaud ericthered.com.au and rode down Swanston St as a part of the Melbourne Cup Parade.

I dropped all our costumes back at the costume shop and met Sam at Port Melbourne for our tour of the Pacific Princess for our up-coming cruise ship gig.

After spending about an hour looking around the insides of the boat, I went back to Sam’s place and chatted about the cruise ship gig over pizza. Sam has a very cute dog. Humphrey the Labradoodle.
And finally I was off to Revolver for the BMX gig where Snoop Dog was to attend. The true professional that I am, I did my hour, and when I was told that Snoop Dog was going to be another half an hour, I was off home to my lovely wifey.
Sharon and I did some awesome stuff Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The teachers and schoolkids loved our shows. No-one could believe that Sharon could actually lift me. It was great.
And Friday and Saturday I was working with Doug.

By the end of the weekend we had a great entertaining little show. Hansel and Gretel. Doug was Hansel talking in a German accent and I was Gretel.
I feel like I could walk into any school right now and do either 1 of 3 shows. BMX, Adagio/juggling show with Sharon, or comic Juggling show with Doug. Cool.
