More challenges.


March 22, Royse City.

After the snow the Kelly Miller Circus was faced with the threat of another day of canceled shows, the lot is a wet sponge and we can't set up, there is a mix up too with Chris directing people to the wrong place, and then hours of waiting while management decide to try and set up on the other side of the road, and then give up after two trucks get stuck in deep trenches of mud, there is more waiting around, town people stop by asking where is the show and where can we get tickets, and finally, at nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, we park in a race track down the highway, on a nice asphalt lot, and it's sunny and in the seventies.
But there is still more than an hour before show time and a mad rush to raise out of trucks and trailers the magics of a circus.
And they did it.

This post wore me out just reading it.
There is nothing worse in 'show business' than to spend a day playing the "HURRY UP AND WAIT" Game.
