Graduation

Our Graduation Showcase is this weekend!  June 13th, 14th, and 15th at the Circus Center, 755 Frederick St.  Check www.circuscenter.org for more information and tickets.  The F-Bomb and I do a clown acrobatics act (of course) that involves robots and mind control.  And Butt jokes.  Lots of butt jokes.  

Spring turns into summer so fast here!  It may just be that there is no discernible difference between the two (or the four if you want to get technical) seasons, but we have been making the long slow slide into the end of the year for a while now and I hardly noticed.  We finished up the tour on Thursday, which has been taking a lot more of my time than I thought it would and I have been working on the website for our latest project:


(it will be live as soon as the calendar goes to print in the next few days)


The Calendar is something that we thought up (and Chad Benjamin Potter put together) in order to thank our circus skills teacher Judy Finelli for being totally awesome.  Judy is kind of a big deal in the American Circus world, she was responsible for putting together the San Francisco Circus Center and worked with the Pickle Family Circus way back when they started.  She was diagnosed with MS several years ago and has somehow managed to be the best juggling and skills teacher I have had even though she is a quadriplegic.

The Circus model is more like being in a family than being in a business so Judy's care has been managed by the people at the Circus Center instead of some awful insurance company.  The Calendar was our classes way of helping the Circus Center help Judy.  All Profits from each calendar's sale will go to the Judy Finelli fund which pays for her care as well as funding MS research.  So buying the Calendar is like doing a walk for MS without all of the walking and getting a bunch of naked clowns as well.
