Wait a dang min! It has even been nine months since the last one!

No seriously - Thank you. You are far too kind.

Listen, I have been unemployed off and since November and thus had a LOT of free time on my hands. In that time I have nearly gone insane of sheer boredom and I probably would have if I didn't have Exomagic as an outlet for some of that energy. The good news is that I got recently got hired on, the bad news is that I will probably have to pull back at bit here.

Also thanks to you guys I have a full box of props for "Misjief's Olde Tyme Medicine Show". It is probably a little sparse and I may have to supplement it with store bought props for a while but I almost have enough to I have enough to go do some short shows at the Children's Hospital! Woot Woot! I have gotten to the point that I can make a fairly quality prop in a hour and a half (my time - not drying and all that). All my stuff is fairly gimmicky at the moment but I hope to change that as I start spending more time practicing and less time building.

I think the talent here at Exo is unreal (and unusual), and I only expect that to grow (both the potential ... and the 'weirdness'). Perhaps in short spurts but still ever expanding. Most people in order to seek and grow talent garner it to them, gather it and keep it to themselves, alone. Many of you have broken that rule, shared what you had, and invested in some one outside yourself, unselfishly. I think that is a sure path to success. I saw that here, immediately, and modeled it as much as I was able so that I might join in and truly belong. I am really happy to say that because, honestly, we live in a world that could really use some magic to brighten it some days. These are trying times and I find it very ironic that magic as an art is being challenged so harshly in a time when it is so needed. With such challenges comes HUGE opportunities for those who are resourceful enough to overcome the small obstacles in the way. All I can say to here is keep the faith and fill the gaps. Your big hearts are needed, now more then ever!

BTW- The award means more to me then any prize. Thanks. I am very proud to be counted among your members.

GROUP HUG! LOL Yah, maybe not. High five?
PS we really could use some female members.

<-Twins? The younger one just took the scenic route.

It would be great if we have some female members too. LOL
