Clowning instruction wanted

Toi Box: — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:46:57 GMT

I have this vision in my mind that won't go away. It is of me doing a clowning routine on my skates. I feel the need to see this through but I would need some help developing a routine. someone to show me pratt falls and some tumbling. Refresh my memory on balloon animals and other such things.
I want to do something fun and sassy and I really want to do it on skates.
if anyone can help me out compensation can be negotiated.

Saturday rehearsal... sort of.

Hello Fools....

It looks like Godfrey Daniels - Commissioner Of Fools is on board (sort of)
A courageous torch bearer of the Fools Banner, he's served the High Fool for over 2 decades.
He's been nominated "Fool of the Year" for all his hard work and dedication.

Roomer has it that the Judges have been sufficiently paid off and much work has been done to ensure the results are fixed.
So we have our "Fool of the Year".

However, Jester of the Year is still open, so people are totally invited to Audition.
-----------------

MOST IMPORTANT:
Are you interested in playing a part?
Do you have an idea for a character you want to add to this fiasco?

We will have an improvisational run through on Saturday 1-3.
On Sunday performers will meet at the Rink 1-3 for last minute prep.

Saturday
Come by my place on Saturday at 1pm. (DON"T BE LATE)
Between Kings & Queens ave.
3172 Queens ave. (604.325.0058)

Directions from Skytrain (Easier to find the back of my house)
- Walk the alley east to Earls @ Vaness
- Turn left and cross over the skytrain
- At Kings turn Right and walk to the end of the road at the top of the hill. (2 blocks)

My house is on the left.
Look for the tent trailer and in the Yard there are two pink flamingos.
