Slava's Snowshow = lots O' fun
Backstage at Slava's Snowshow with Spencer - Copyright Jason Covert, 2006
Last night I saw the amazing Slava's Snowshow for the third time! The last time I saw the show was about 2 years ago. Like the previous time, I saw this show with my good friend J. This time around the show was even more exciting - Spencer, the director of Cannery Works (the non-profit that is helping with Boonville), was the second lead in the show, officially titled "Lead Green". During the show, Jason decided to wage an all out war with the up-tight lady in front of us (pulling her hair, kicking her chair, whipping large balls at her head and throwing paper-snow in her grill). It's not quite as vicious as you might be imagining, I did it too...
After the show, Spencer invited us back stage and then a group of us went out for some dinner and drinks. A good time was had.
If your a New Yorker or visiting New York in the next 5 weeks check out this great show, it's closing its doors mid-January. Slava himself is returning to perform - I've never seen this famous clown do his thing, should I go for number four?

jesus, I sound like an absolute barbarian, but I like to think of it as making the little child take their medecine... in the end it was good for her, and very, very good for me. I just wish that some of the subtlety of my actions came through - it really was a work of art.
No doubt, it was a work of art. The amazing thing is that you kicked, screamed, and down right abused that woman and not only did she not say anything but neither did her husband... I wish I had a pic of her facial expression when you throw that shit all over her!
