Federal Judges are Here!!!
So the head honcho told me this private show was the 9th circuit district thingie m’ bob (the technical term for it) which included a bunch of a federal judges. So I jokingly said, “you should tell the announcer to ask if anyone in the audience could help with a parking ticket.” I thought it was funny. She told me that they would like to make each of the shows a bit customized to the groups who come, but there wasn’t enough time. Well, I took that as a personal challenge. So that was Saturday. Sunday I went to the local “Kings” I think it is called, which is like a small K-mart. So white sweat pants, pack of 3 white t-shirts, and black spray paint for 20 bucks. Then the local paint supply for a free white painters hat. Drew some lines, sprayed some paint, hemmed and thinned out the pants, and voila, instant prisoner outfit. Then I put the opening music into an “alarm” sound, into my routine. I had the announcer say, “coming soon to a court room near you, Dan Hollander.” The alarm goes off as I skate from side to side freaking out with my back to the audience, turn to face them, do a hands up, then start Tappin’ with Bob. For whatever reason the music guy decided to pause the music...which really bummed me out because its a sight gag with the alarm...not a reveal, wait for 3 seconds, and then start.....grrrrr.....
So here it is, at least I landed all my jumps in it!
