University of Evansville

That's right, the University of EVANsville!

Freaking amazing show except for one thing: my shirt got stolen! Yeah, some girl stole my shirt! If you have seen either my solo show or The ShowOff Show, you know that the rules of my skateboard catapult trick are that every time I miss the trick I have to remove a piece of clothing. Most of the time, it takes me four attempts and I have to take off my long sleeved shirt, at which point I use the oportunity to wrap it around a spectator's neck, and then towel whip another guest, and ocassionaly I throw the shirt at a third audience member. I have ALWAYS gotten the shirt back... but this time the girl kept it. I didn't realize she had claimed it as a trophy until after she was long gone... Oh well, what can ya do?

College of Saint Scholastica

After a long drive through the Minnesota countryside, we arrived in the lakeside city of Duluth to perform at the College of Saint Scholastica. Saint Scholastica, the patron saint of education, was a woman! Fascinating. The show was poorly attended, but the people who were there were highly entertained, so we were happy.

After the show, the students took us to eat at a local bar/restaurant where we had good food, but lousy service. While we were waiting for the arrival of our meals, a busboy came by and tried to steal our flatware. We told him we hadn't eaten yet while he was in the middle of scooping up all the forks and spoons and knives, at which point he stopped dead in his tracks, slowly set the flatware down, and quietly slunk away from the table.

The next day, we took a few hours to check out Duluth and its charms. It gets so cold there in the winter that the entire downtown area is connected by skywalks so that you never have to go outside. So, from what I understand, it's not totally crazy for it to get as cold as -80°f, before wind chill, and I don't understand how that's not crazy.

Also crazy: some people move here ON PURPOSE.
