Hello all.
I am Sorry it has been so long. I am a bad blogger I know.
We are at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Faire in a little more than halfway done with our six weekend contract. We work Saturday and Sunday. each weekend we do between 8 to 12 shows. It is exhausting and exciting especially the fire show (more on that later). We are calling ourselves Flourish and Fool which seams to be working for the Renaissance faire circuit. The faire provides camping and electric for us which is great because we have the van. The only issue is there is nothing to do around here. We are 45 min south of pittsburgh in Depressingville America. The weeks feel long but we have been keeping occupied.
Last week we took a trip to Gettysburg were we met up with other performers from other Ren Faires. there were two rope walkers, one sword swallower, a mime, a comedian, a fire eater, a drummer and three (including us) acro/jugglers. It was awesome check some of it out at "http://heartoftexas.wordpress.com/"
We have also been developing a fire show with the fire eater/ breather who works on the same stage as we do. At the end of the day during the last joust we do a show together. All fire all crazy stunts which we have hardly practiced or just think of on stage. we have been doing it for a couple weeks now so we are starting to develop material. you can see some pictures of us and the fire show at

hope you enjoy. These fire shows at the end of the day leave us with a ton of "oh my god I am glad to be alive" adrenalin. it is the best way to end a long day of performing.
OK thats it for now but I'll try to post again as soon as I can.
