We have a Website! If you have not had a chance to check it out go to flourishandfool.com We have been working at the Texas Renaissance Festival for three weekends. It has been a really good experience but also very difficult. In Pittsburgh we were on a stage and in the program where here in Texas we are on the street gathering our crowds for each show. We have had to cut out some of our material because the attention span is much shorter on the street. We are also learning more of the subtle art of crowd control (dealing with drunks and children). We have met some really awesome people here at the festival. Camped next to us are the Clan Tynkers It has been awesome to meet other performers our age who we can juggle with.

We are planning on moving to Austin as soon as we can find a place. This is a picture of us outside the Long Center for the performing arts after we saw Birdhouse Factory. We should be here in Austin until May so if anyone wants to come visit please do.

will post again soon

Fire!


Wow! was that the sound of my eyebrows burning off?


What you are seeing is a photo of our last show at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Faire. We cut loose all the strings for this one and invited the Celtic band to play also. If you look close you can see Sam the drummer in the background. This fire show has been an amazing collaboration between us and Wilsome the Fire master. We call it Not Dead Yet! because of how crazy the stunts are. We will miss Dan he is off to North Carolina Ren Faire and we are now in Texas

The Texas Renaissance Faire or TRF as I will now refer to it is huge. we got to see the site for the first time today and wow! Gardens, amazing buildings and the stages are incredible. the Joust is set in a huge amphitheater which probably seats 5000 people at least.
Ok thats it for now but I promise to write regularly.

Please comment so that I know people are reading and don't feel like I'm talking to air.

any questions?
