Tad Tien Beach is such a beautiful bubble of sweetness!
We put together our first fire show in 3 days and it went amazingly. We went above and beyond our fundraising goal at Sanctuary Resort, had a really good show that ran smoothly and successfully glitter bombed all the men on the team. It was quite gratifying after working in the crazy heat for 6 hours or more a day.
 I got to perform a fire version of my hoop act  from The House of Faery Bad Things, a tumbling silly clowny display of precise blundering, and I have been getting really positive feedback about the act. I also developed the finale act for the show and upon looking at the crazy cramped cacophony of people coming in and off the stage, weaving in and out of each other, I decided that it reflected my current brain a little too much: grand and full of action but not quite in good order and too hot! After adjusting things and myself to match this environment and circumstance, I'm feeling really excited about my offering to this team and I am so grateful to be part of such an amazing crew! I'm finally starting to feel the cloud of arrival fog around me start to lift.
  We did a wonderful LED show and we got a lot of feedback that people enjoyed it more then the fire show! more freedom of movement, sweet tunes and more hypnotizing. It really re-inspired me to get a good collection of LED toys for shows, because they are so sweet to watch, to play with and so much less hassle then fire. Dressed in all white and lighting up the night, the team looked like a collection of ethereal faery spirits!
  The Bay has been filled with moments of good food, coconut banana shakes, laughing, playfulness and good community vibes. A slice of jungle paradise i will surely miss.
 Tomorrow we leave for Koh Samui where we will do a day show and circus worshops for orphan kids, followed by two nights of shows at 4 and 5 star resorts. It's ON!
 We will go to Bangkok from there for a couple days and then straight to Mai sot after that! Lots of overnight trains and buses are in my future.
 Started to get home, sweetheart and family missing sick this past week, but thankfully I have an amazing family of circus freaks to keep me busy and laughing in the meantime. So excited to meet Dawn in BKK so I can have a little slice of home with me for the rest of the tour!
