Miami FL
We started out the second year of the 134th Edition of the Greatest Show on Earth on January 6th, 2005 in sunny Miami, FL. And when I say sunny, I am NOT exaggerating! Despite the winter month, Miami was HOT HOT HOT! ("Big surprise", I hear the Florida readers scoffing)
I started out my Ringling career in Miami two years ago, and it was great to be back. We experienced great crowds for the two weeks we were there; they loved the clown gags! It was a nice way to start off the tour.
While in Miami Sandor, Ryan, Gabor, and I filmed several episodes of the cooking program, "Mr. Food", which aired nationally on May 16th-20th. In the first picture you can see me with Mr. Food himself.
This year especially, if someone in the Adventure or at a PR takes a nice photograph of me, I do not hesitate to ask them, "Could you e-mail me a copy?!"
That's exactly what I did in Miami, as you can see from the second picture. This kid was too cute and too funny to pass up the opportunity of having this photo. He came over to me and threw his arms around me for a picture like he had known me all his life!
One of the biggest changes about the second year of our tour is NEW CLOWNS. Two of our clowns from last year left at the end of the first leg of the tour, so we got two brand new Hungarian clowns (bringing the Clown Alley total up to SIX Hungarians) who joined our other two new clowns from the end of last year. All four newbies are affectionately known as First of Mays...or PUKES!
In the third photo you can see Ryan, Sandor, and B inducing psychological terror (and back strain) on the two new Magyars...or maybe they’re just screwing around...
Ah heck,
MY STORY IS BETTER!
