I've been a lurker for quite some time and thoroughly enjoy this list and all the creative ideas everyone shares. I am currently a twister and dabbling in facepainting. In the next month or so I plan to get into the clowning aspect of entertaining as "Picasso the Clown". I attended the Phoenix Balloonarama/Clownarama this past weekend and it was absolutely fabulous!!!! I highly recommend it for anyone in the business. I personally attended the Clownarama classes as I can use all the info on the subject I can find right now, and found it very helpful, not to mention, very enjoyable. A wonderful job was done in getting all the best teachers together to teach us newbies what we can do to better ourselves as entertainers. Thank you to all who had a hand in getting this awesome event together! And thank you to Balloonatix for recommending this training to their entertainers! Applause to all who attended and lived to tell! Anita (Balloonatix in Phx, AZ)
