GI JOE Themed Party (~378 Total faces pied)

March 5, 2011

A client recently had me come for a 6 y/o boy’s GI Joe themed birthday party.

I went with the basic black topped with Grampa Del’s garrison cap, accented with a camouflaged belt from a long gone bathrobe.  For extra fancy, I  added the spats that came from Puck F.

On the way, I noticed someone had pranked a car in the OHS parking lot.  I left them my card in case they wanted to get even.

Afterwards, I pied a bonus face back home.  AJ had been visiting and took a large pie to the face.

The videos tell about the Magic Kombucha grenade fail.

Halloween House 2009 Preview

October 29, 2009

(c) Mike Fritsch

I pulled up the Halloween House on North street the other day, and Mike said, “We were just talking about you.”

What a reception!  Okay, here I am!

“If you still want to do the tour guide bit…?”

Oh, yeah!  So he sent me home with a head that I doctored up with some Jusby make-up.

jusbygetsaheadofhimself

Then Orion and I brought it over to The Clown Room.  Tonight is Opening Night 6-10 PM.

jusbygetsaheadofhimselfb

I got a-head of myself!

btw, it’s REALLY DARK and SCARY… Don’t bring the little ones.

But if you insist, Jusby will guide them through with shouts of “LITTLE KIDS! LITTLE KIDS!”

jusbygetsaheadofhimselfc

Later that night… Jusby escorted the first visitors through, but not before a long discussion about the True Meaning of Halloween, and what to do when a little boy says, “Please, No, Daddy!  I don’t want to go!  I’m TOO SCARED!”

Flaming Pies, Mach II

August 30, 2009

I spent the afternoon with Luke shopping for the new flaming pie hardware.  We went to Home Depot for an hour.  Then we stopped at Ace Hardware for the white gas (aka Coleman fuel).  We walked to the dollar store and got cutting boards, red oven mitts, a red checkered tablecloth, and plums (for Orion).  Then we had to go back into Ace Hardware for more screws and washers to attach the boards and mitts where scrap lumber had been.

Luke handled all the drilling and screwing from that point.  They were done in time for me to rush down to the Midnight Sun and talk with Elizabeth Lord about the possibility of flaming pies in her upcoming Vaudeville show.

What was expected was “an audition”.

Two groups were before my conversation.  A couple did a drag Mary Poppins / Chimney Sweep lipsynch and dance.  I wasn’t familiar with the version, but it took aim, in part, at Disney.  Then the woman had another partner do a Flamenco duet.

I told Elizabeth frankly that my new flaming pie act had never been tried, but I proposed a Clown-lesque act of approximately 5 minutes.  If I felt I could not safely perform flaming pies indoors I was willing to work outside, perhaps during intermission.  I was sure to light them up later that evening.  We would be in touch.

Here they are soaking in white gas.  Neighbor Aaron advised, after the fact, mixing the white gas with paraffin lamp fuel, to lower the flash point and mellow it out overall.

A fully soaked pie.  Aaron also demonstrated how it is wise to shake off the excess fuel… before lighting it.

They lit up good!

So I did a little dance.

Then I consented to an interview with David Raffin.

Here’s the video

Circus Party 2

June 27, 2009

Actually, the first one was more of a Cirque/ Caberet/ Salon, and this one was more of a Carnival/ Midway/ Sideshow…

but I was so happy to get a 2 hour Premium Visit booked that I called Honey the Clown to be my assistant and photographer.

gracenpied

My first face!  He got the full length spiel.  We had a water fight toward the end of the party.  Him with a water pistol vs. me with squishy-fishes!

cindyb4pie cindypied cindypied2

Cindy seemed a bit overwhelmed.

makenziepied makenziepied2

Birthday girl watches on while Makenzie takes a pie.

jackpied

Hi, Jack!

kyliepied

Kylie and…

chloepied

Chloe.

sammypied

Sammy hung around ALOT.  She retrieved balloons and kept saying that I was So Funny!  I kept saying,

“I’ve worked hard to become so.”

sammypiedwnose

So she got a nose… and paper towels instead of a specially custom JUSBY PIED terry cloth model.

Then… I brought out the new dispenser… and it FAILED again!  Gas hissed out the side and, when dispensed, shot everywhere.  So I just splattered around toward adults.  We gave it to the birthday girl, and she wouldn’t put it in dad’s face.  Good girl!

piedispensersansoring

[at home I found the O-ring on the drying rack!  Well, it's clean for tomorrow! LMAO What a Life!]

honeyjumping

Honey enjoyed the trampoline.

Then the water-balloons came out and I actually used the bucket of water… AS WATER.  Then the confetti!

jusbynhoneybycabin

The Deck of the porch provided a marvelous stage!  I used the left, and Honey painted faces and bejeweled on the right.

In addition to the pie-ings, they had a giant back yard filled with activities including TWO pools and a Trampoline.  All around the perimeter were activities like Pop the Balloon with a Dart, Cardboard Bumper Cars, Ring Toss, Western Dress-Up Photo, a Hamburger/ Hot Dog Stand with Cotton Candy, Popcorn, Etc. Etc. Etc.!

Kids came up and started giving me tickets to ride the stilts!

I gave a few rides out and harassed a teenager who had one of two earbuds in his ears.  I asked what he was listening to and HE DIDN’T KNOW!  Later I caught him about to text.  I told him no texting!

I got the show started by pouring out the five or six little white plastic bottles in to the bucket so the fish could drink.  I ended with the not-so-little brown plastic jug.  “They drink like fish”, followed by “Little brown jug how I love thee!”  And of course a fish squirted me.  I made sure they were full at home.

And I kept repeating that I might need it during the juggling fire part.  [which I never did]

I did juggle the sports balls and went through the whole routine including “They should call it the Super Hoop, or the World Court, but I guess that one’s taken”.  Which wound up with Cup, Bowl, Plate/ What’s for dinner? Fish! and a squirting fish!

All concluded ahead of schedule and under budget!   Go team JUSB-HONEY!

Circus themed birthday

June 8, 2009

I did my first double pieing the other night.

It was at the birthday of a twin, a gemini, but I didn’t pie her and her twin brother.  I pied two girls who are dating, and they are both named Erin.

Mauren and her twin brother turned 33 (another symmetrical synchronicity!), and she decided to announce her party on #fcbk.  Since she didn’t have a computer with internet at her house, creating the invitation fell to me.  Since she had decided on a Circus theme I felt morally obligated to make the scene.

I convinced Heather “Honey” Duke to accompany me and assist with principal photography. heh.

honeynmo

Honey applies the bindi jewel to Maureen’s 3rd eye.

mo

The birthday girl now sees all, and tells nothing.  We gotta get her a red nose and clown character though, so she can start participating in the RNB alley events.

blaireau

blaireaub

“Blaireau” did a great set with a street organ.  He’s an actual French “organ grinder”.

2facepainted

This fellow wanted eyes like Siouxsie Sue.  Sarah got a white dragon across the nose.  How could I have forgotten to take a picture of the Temple kid who got a blue dragon?!

dougpied dougpiedb

glenpied

glenpiedb

Glen had some great “chicken scratches” from prison.

groupscene

The King of Olympia (in yellow pants) tried to pie me at one point, but I fended him off with my superior Clown Fu.

erinjusbyerin

erinjusbyerinb

The two Erins.  My first time doing a double shot.

piederin2

erinsnclown

bilpied

bilpiedb

Bil Fleming finally got his pie… a year in the making.

Before it got dark I got to show off my fan flipping to a beautifully costumed Dutch-Indo family.  Who, of course, I didn’t get any pictures of…  nor the other clowns!  nor the half dozen weiner dogs in cute costumes!  Oh, I was preoccupied.  With pie-ing!  Here’s ANOTHER double shot!  Two men, one young and one not.

bigmouthnfriend

bigmouthnfriendb

Tim “Big Mouth” the Ringmaster waited until sunset until he felt ready.  Then the Little Prince seemed to want to get it too.

bigmouthnfriendc

My second double shot EVER.  Appropriate for the birthday party of a Gemini Twin.

Then the King set up a video projector and we watched UHF and Shakes the Clown projected on the side of Maureen’s house.  Until the cops came.

Here was the epic fail of the night.  After a flurry of twittering about inaugurating the new Organic pie-in-the-faces with a red 1/2 pint whipped cream dispenser delivered fast and cheap from e-bay…. it didn’t work.

brokengasket

The busted rubber gasket in my brand new whipped cream dispenser from e-bay.  I wasted the first two NO2 cartridges before I realized it wasn’t keeping a seal.  Sprayed Horizon Organic Heavy Cream and Agave syrup all over the dining room and Trish’s homework!  The seller said “I don’t have spare parts.  Call the company!”

The company website lists a spare gasket for $3, but they’re asking for $7 in shipping and handling.  That would bring the total up where it would’ve been if I had bought the thing from Fred Meyer or the mall, but they didn’t have RED.

I’m checking locally with Espresso Parts to see if their gaskets are compatible.  And I’m geeked to collaborate with them on a Barista Clown idea.

cowboyjusby

Absconded with Chuck’s hat at the end of the night.  I’m keeping it hostage until my missing lucky spatula is found.
