Uncle Jim !!!

Well he's FAMOUS ya Know !!! :o)
At least at the State Thespain Conference he is. ;-)
On Saturday after lunch they have a Guest performer on the main stage,
this year is was a trio of women called
The Aerial Angels & they were Fabulous!
They call their show "Quirk Du Soleil".
That pretty much tells you what their show was like.
They are very good at what they do & I have to say personally they are by far my favorite Guest performer so far.
At one point of the show they announced that they needed an assistant & that they wanted the guy in the 4th row (we were shoved through the doors at record speed & catapulted down to some really great seats this year) with the Grey Hair & Beard! (OMG!)
At that point I looked to my left at Jim there was NO mistaking who they were talking about!
Being the trouper that he is he got up with a smile (I'm sure it was one of embarrassment) on his face started making his way to the stage.
While he was coming up they asked him what his name was & about 20 of our 31 kids yelled ...
"UNCLE JIM" !!! (that's what they call him)
So I thought I would treat you this morning to some pics of "Uncle Jim" on stage at the state thespian conference 2009. Please remember that as always there is NO Flash photography (actually you're NOT supposed to shoot at ALL), so the photos are very blurry & have lots of noise. Sorry. (this is definately a case of any shot is better than NO shot! ;-) )


Uncle Jim with Isabella (on the left) & Flame (on the right)


ummm... yep, he might have enjoyed this part a little. lol.
saftey check! they removed Everything from his pockets & brought them to Mrs. Jim,
cause like they said...
she's going to end up with it ALL anyway!


Isabella, Spike, Uncle Jim, & Flame
"Assume the Position!" LOL
do you have any idea how many kids (& adults)
came up to him after the show & said ...
"Assume the Position" ??? lol
& being the Good person that he is ... he Would!


You have NO idea how many times he heard "Uncle Jim!" after that show.
He's Famous!...or at the very least Infamous! ;-)
Chris is sure that he'll still be hearing calls of "Uncle Jim!" next year when we come back!
(that made me smile to know that we'll be coming back even though Dev won't be there :o( ,
I can't tell you how much we enjoy this weekend with this group of kids! They're totally Awesome & ROCK!!!)
So that's it for today, a funny little story about "My Guy" & what he'll do for our 31 "kids" (even though he'd rather crawl under the seats & die). lol.
"He's a Good Thespian Charlie Brown!" ;-)
