The Adequate Blog

Folks - if you’re enjoying my perspective on the things I ramble on about, I would like to direct your attention to a new blog by my colleague, friend, and one ninth of the increasingly hard-to-keep-track-of Medieval Madness Consortium, Trey Cromwell.

His blog is calls “Out of the Ordinary” and can be found right here:

Trey is, like me, a magician, juggler, and general performing person, but he’s a step ahead of me in that this is his job, period. He’s one of those amazing people who does this for a living. I envy him and am continuing to flail my way toward that goal.

Trey performs his “Professional Showoff” juggling and DANGER show all over the US - I’ve known him since the first time we crossed paths at the Golden Gate Renaissance Faire back when it started. He’s the Stunningly Handsome Leading Man to my Comedy Relief. No, seriously, look at the guy:

He and I have shared stages and cut up jackpots for more than a few years now.

Little known fact: When we stand next to each other, Trey and I spell the number “10″.

1. Know where things are
2. Look before you leap
3. Travel Light
4. Leave the valuable stuff back at base

8. Sometimes you luck out at the end of the day
9. Things could always be worse
10. Take things more deliberately than you think you should
11. LATCH THE DOOR
12. Sometimes people just stand around because they don’t know what to do next once they get there and see all those funny blue huts
13. WASH AFTERWARD
14. There’s no shame in using the handicapped stall as a changing room, just be efficient about it
15. Hoop Skirts are effectively a handicap
16. One person to a seat
17. Preparation and Follow Through are Key
18. If it goes down the hole, don’t go after it. Let it go. It’s gone.
