Arcata
Welcome friends. To the Southern Migration Tour blog.
I guess I should catch you all up. Previously in life Jules and Kelsey were living in Bellingham, working with Dream Science Circus and the Bellingham Circus Guild. Jules bought land (the Quarry) if you don't know about it he will fill you in later. Jules and Kelsey created a show together, produced it, went on the New Old Time Chautauqua tour and spent the last two months Building giant puppet stilt creatures for the circus.
Now we are sitting in a coffee shop in Arcata CA, connecting to the world via the amazing power of technology. The plan is this: travel south down the coast. see lots of people we miss, and others we do not know yet, perform for tourists and make lots of money off of them. (this is especially important for Jules who still has land payments.) Eventually we will end up in Austin TX for the Juggling Festival Feb 20th.
We Left Bellingham about a month ago. Spent the holidays with our families, ate well, relaxed and organized the Van. After this we traveled to Eugen for Juggle Club which was awesome! Then to Ashland to visit Jules' Friend Justin. And then to Williams OR were we stayed with Sam and Kelly Mae and did an awesome show in their house. We hope to do more house shows like this bringing our skills to the local people instead of the tourist traps.
Tomorrow we check out the Dell'Arte school of Physical theater in Blue Lake. Then down to San Fran.
I should have some pictures posted soon.
Stay in touch
Jules & Kelsey
