Baltimore’s own George Gilbert has released his video lecture notes DVD, including a full performance of his street/festival act.
George has one of the best street acts currently out there. His ability to build a crowd, hold them, and fill a hat has to be seen to be believed.
I haven’t seen the DVD yet, so I can’t comment on the lecture, but EVEN IF IT ONLY INCLUDED THE PERFORMANCE it would be worth what George is asking.
If this is your type of act DON’T MISS THIS DVD!
Check it out!
Had a fun gig last night at Sabatino’s in Little Italy, A holiday party for a firehouse. Great time and the show killed, especially “Burnt Bill” and “Human Blockhead” One more show to go for 2011!
I continue my study of the Geek Classics…
The traditional Holiday Season in America encompasses the period from the secular Thanksgiving
holiday through the celebration of the New Year.
The period in between is celebrated by many groups, with many different religious, secular and cultural
festivities.
Christians celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday. Hand-in-hand with the religious holiday, the
Christmas holiday has also grown to be a widely observed secular festival. Although there is no evidence
that the Birth of Jesus occurred at this time of year, the leaders of the early Church chose this time to
celebrate, to take advantage of the Pagan celebrations already occurring at this season.
Jews celebrate Chanukah, another religious holiday which falls during this same period.
The group of naturalistic religions loosely referred to as Paganism celebrates the Winter Solstice, an
astronomical event which occurs at this time. This celebration pre-dates Christmas by centuries.
There are other cultural and religious celebrations that take place during this time that I will not list or
discuss, because I don’t know enough about them. I do, however, wish those who celebrate them a joyful
season as well.
I have chosen NOT to limit my wishes for a Happy Holiday season to any one of these groups. If anyone
is offended because I have chosen to be inclusive, rather than to exclude anyone, that offense was not my
intent.
Please accept my wish for a Happy Holiday Season in the spirit it is meant.
Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men.
