1ST NY CLOWN HANG: Wednesday February 1, 2008

Foreground: R. David Robinson hanging with Keith Nelson.



You know that really great, very funny "What? Who? Me?" look that Mike Smith does in some photos? Yeah. Don't try for it unless you're sure that you are going to hold it until the photographer actually takes the picture. If you relax your face before the flash goes off you just come out looking like I do here.

From left to right: John Manigrasso, Writer/Producer for Showtime Networks, me and the "Cat in the Hat", fellow Guinness enthusiast Robb "Mr. Robb" Zeiser.



Keith Nelson shows off "The Finger That Made New York Famous" as John Manigrasso shouts something underwhelming to Amanda who ignores them both.

Unseen in these photos: Circus Bambouk's Matthew Duncan and Brian Foley.

The next "hang" is rumored to be scheduled to take place at the palatial beachfront estate of the lovely and talented Ms. Brendolyn Swanson.

The lovely 'significant other' of Chris Lueck is Amanda Pekoe, who is, among other things, a co-producer of NY Downtown Clown, the internationally touring SpiegelWorld extravaganza, and a wit to be reckoned with.
And she's smarter than Chris. Just ask him.

Oh--and that's not Davis Robinson. That's R. David Robinson.

He's also smarter than Chris. But I don't know anyone who will vouch for that.

Thanks, it is "R. David". Holding my breath to be vouched for has never worked out so well for me. Still, Chris is a smart young man. Like a whip!
