Our 2011 Halloween

Natalie & I love Halloween, we always do it up big. We have a party, try to be creative with our costumes, make tons of food, carve pumpkins and watch tons of scary movies all month long. This year Halloween fell on a Monday so the Friday, Saturday and Sunday were crazy busy with shows.With all the baby stuff going on, (decorating her room, painting, buying furniture, Dr. Visits and birthing classes) we felt as though we were behind in decorating for Halloween and getting ready for the party. We invited somewhere around 30 people to our house for a costume party, some couldn't make it due to bad weather and the snow & ice that was accumulating outside during the party. The snow did not amount to anything here, but in near by counties we heard that some folks got 2-3 inches. Even with the ice & snow and freezing temperatures we still had a great time. Our costumes this year were inspired by baby Lana, so we decided I would be an alien who got an Earthling pregnant and the baby was coming on Halloween but through her belly.
Below are a few photos of Natalie & I and our Jack o lanterns from Halloween 2011.

Kirkwood's 65 years of Magic Gala Show


On October 22nd Natalie & I performed for Bobby "Kirkwood" Spencer's 65 years in magic gala magic show. Bobby has been performing magic for 65 years and says this is his last big hoorah in show business. We were honored to have been asked to be the headliner illusionists on the bill. We performed 2 shows that day in the historic Victory Hall theater in Scottsville, Va. The showtimes were 3:00 & 8:00 pm and they said they were super excited with the turn out. The matinee was sold out and the 8:00 pm still had a few seats left but they said for that venue in such a small town this was the biggest turn out they had had in years. There were several other entertainers on the bill but they were all part time guys or people who only do shows once in a great while. Since most of the guys on the bill are not used to doing shows that often everyone was asked to arrive around 12:00 pm to get set up. Natalie & I were only doing 15 minutes and we were set up in 10 minutes and hung out till show time. The shows went smooth and everyone seemed to have a great time. By the time everyone was packed up after the last show it was close to midnight and the man of the evening was super worn out after at least a 14 hour work day. He said he was going to sleep the whole next day. I called him a few days later on the way to a show and he said he was doing great and just finished filming a TV commercial for a local political candidate. He may be done with magic shows, but I think show business is in his veins...

Congradulations to Kirkwood the Magician for 65 years in Magic!
