Lasts of May – pt 1

May 31, 2008

We went to the TrendWest, WorldMark, etc. etc. time sharing seminar in Federal Way!

We spoke with Rex and pals for about 90 minutes.

We haggled.  I wanted to buy two credits @ $1.96 ea.  He wanted us to spend at least a hundred times that amount.

I explained it with my jumbo calculator.  I typed 57718618 and turned it upside down so that it read BIGBILLS.

In the end we had connected on a situation that worked for both of us.  We got the free trip voucher to Lake Tahoe, and he got to see the tail end of a clown departing in the rain.

Rex is the King.  He even came back with his own camera… or the office camera.

This nice lady handed over the travel & food vouchers at the last window of the last door.

Library Tricksters

May 31, 2008

I love the library. There was a time when I wouldn’t set foot in one, but I love the library too much to stay away.

I’ve been bringing home trickster tales, world mythology, and relying heavily on the books librarians have displayed on top of the shelves. We can do a library run in five minutes and leave with 20 items. That’s important if we’re going to read 20 minutes before bedtime and not repeat ourselves over and over and over.

Here’s Confrere Lapin, the Cajun Brer Rabbit trickster. “Lapin Plays Possum” adapted by Sharon Arms Doucet.

Of particular interest to me is this book of Indonesian Fables of Feats and Fortunes. On the cover you see the trickster mouse deer convincing an alligator to roll over.

Romanteek and the locals

May 31, 2008

After the juggling club, it was my turn to put Orion to bed.

Trish made a date with Sarah A to go out.

She came home around 3 AM.  She’d been to Hall of the Woods and returned with a Romanteek CD and T-shirt for me.  She’d gone on to Jake’s and the Clubside and the Eastside…

Next afternoon I’m wearing the T-shirt and thinking… “I wonder what kind of cheeseburger I can get at the Clubside?  I seem to remember something about Kobe beef.   Mmmm.  And Trish knows the owner, Kenny.”

We arrive at 11:14.  They won’t be ‘open’ until 11:30, so we stroll over to Orca books.

Trish recognizes the gal working there from Hall of the Woods.  She’s dating the bassist from Romanteek.  I show off the shirt.

I figure, “It’s payday.  I deserve a treat BEFORE my treat of a cheeseburger, so I find a $5 copy of “Handbook for the magical party clown” by Don “the Clown” Sminkey

I make sure Trish has the KAOS member card for 10% off.  The guy who rings me up was at the show too.

Then I order a jalepeno burger.  Trish gets a veggie pepper cheese steak sandwich and fries.  Kenny tells us that he refused to change the name even if there was no steak in it.

It’s so delicious!  And a perfect portion too.

At the register Kenny lets us know that we can get the downtown business owner hook up for 10% off.

Still in Business

May 30, 2008

I’m renewing my City of Tumwater Master Business License today.

My UBI 602 613 501 001 0001

Jusby the Clown and Comedy Consultant

not to be confused with Justbe, Juzbee, OR Just-B

My only disappointment with the WA DOL is that I don’t get a nice laminated ID card for my $29, since I’m sure I could look happier than I do on my driver’s license – which expired on my birthday after 4 years.

Well, it’s worth it to get mail addressed to Jusby the Clown and Comedy Con.

Cabot Chipotle Cheese from Vermont

May 24, 2008

Trish brought this home too! Love that woman!

“This cheese has brought home awards for its smoky-sweet flavor. The caliente kick of red Morita jalapeño chilies combined with the New England mellow of Vermont milk make this a natural for transforming any snack into a smoky sizzler!”
