manifesting the dream we want to live.

Fear of success is for those who don't believe in themselves... I'm more of a Viking. Victory Favors the BOLD! My Mom used to say "If you can conceive it, Then you can achieve it!" That taught me a powerful lesson..."If concepts rhyme then they must be true". Get out there and make your dream a reality!

We spend most days surrounded by children.

Finding crowds and entertaining them using a tool box full of tricks, delights and jokes gathered over many years. Olive is new to the game but from the gate she was a "Natural". Now (two years in) she is a clever entertainment professional.

Do you think this band knows and Lee Greenwood songs about God and Country? You bet they do.

See olive? I do...i can close the gap in seconds if i need to.

We did manage to get a "Wheres Waldo?" moment.see him?


for some reason the drinking fountains downtown were set really high and they were full of chlorine yuck!


Did someone put a panty on the Hawthorne Bridge?

Pretty!



Who in the world would pay someone to cram a 16 penny nail in his head???That Idea sounds CRAZY!

The man who made this would.



Yesterday this guy came over to my house. This is Curtis he came all the way from Vancouver WA. to trade me a Bed of Nails for a Rubber Chicken Painting. The B.O.N. was so well crafted and thought out I also gave him another big detailed Chicken drawing Called "Summer Olympics".I am so happy about that parlay.

It's hard to make me laugh...I'm in funny business so I hear them all.. but Curtis is really funny. This bright, local juggling entertainer had me cracking up! Look what side of the fence he is on and where we are. On his side the man is getting payed and all the crowd needs to do is apreciate him. On our side of the fence we have to call a crowd, entertain them and then somehow convince them to pay us. Good work on a fine career C.C. And I LOVE his two hot assistants!

We did lots of clowning but since it's just the two of us there are only before and after pics.


Back to South East Portland!

Bug eatery at Muddy Waters WIDE Open Mic night

The Bug Eating Contests arn't just for Circus Sideshow acts...there are gross people in cafes too!
I wanted to hold a contest that was (rated G) and it would have been if I wasn't so excited I kept yelling "MUTHA FUCKER!"


The prize... $5 cafe credit...the Bugs... canned Silk Worm Pupa...they look like little roaches and they come packed in stinky juice.


The rules are...NO Hands, at the start ya gotta eat all the bugs on the plate then slam the "bug juice" for the win.
This is "Challenger"

This is the "Champ"

I look good in brown!







Both ate all the bugs and drank all the "Bug Brine" Champ just did it a bit faster than Challenger. I respect both athletic individuals and I wish them well in the future

wide open mic, muddy waters tonight 29th and Belmont!

The Multinomah County Bike fair 2009

Most of my photos are taken while things are still getting underway, during the action, I'm usually too busy to snap photos.

Jousting!


I have never seen a society so into name dropping itself.
Some Portland bike gangs will have clever names or huge banners but not actually do anything.
The Drop Out Bike Club was in charge of this event and they did a magnificent job.
It was funny to see a guy with the space on his back thats the shape of the Drop Out back patch...I guess he got kicked out?
Dutch was the man at the helm and he did really well considering everyone was getting marching orders from him.
This is Bump with a Drop Out logo drawn on...I wonder how he bent his arms back like that?

6 eyed Tim Tim pregnant with green gut baby conceived in the Col.Sumner's park bathroom GO TIM TIM WOOOOOOOOOO!

This thing makes coffee as well as does sound.

Where the magic happens...behind all those people is my "office".





It was like working with an old friend...the Spin Cycle that is...

Why are all of our events so full of sulfur?

Trust me, this stuff we do could land you in the hospital.
Sage was doing the Chicken Joust (thats jousting on the shoulders of another person.
His head it pavement hard and I really hope he is ok.




This is "Toy Cascade"letting everyone know whats going on.

Great day for the fair!
Sage I'm praying for ya man!
