And had a blast.

I've been a lurker in this tribe for a bit. I am mostly known in Faire and Dicken's tribes.

I have been a performer since I was 14 but not on the streets. I made a good living doing corporate shows and kids parties. I am a magician, juggler (used to be the fatter half of Too Skinny Guys with John Gilkey), former oral fire-manipulator, sword swallowing/bed-of-nails/geek stuff and mentalism. Now mostly ventriloquist.... and absolutely 100% Pirate.

I got out of performing after 22 years and became an animator for Atari...then EA, then Sega...and various companies producing commercials and flying logo animations ...yadda yadda...good money..but layoffs at a whim...and a corporate world and a box you live in many too many hours a week.

After being laid off yet again...I decided enough was enough...this time to the place I should have started years ago.

I started on the Wharf this weekend as a test and had a good time, though a winter crowd. Made not bad hats for being VERY rusty at closing the deal.

This tribe has been a great inspiration.
Thanks mates.
