Hi all, I've posted so randomely in the past, that My email has changed more often than my posts. but i'm a changed boy, and am gonna give it another go. I don't care what my kids say.
Lake George sucks, go there anyway. There is money to be made, they also have a permit system, but your're not likely to get one. The town has its head stuck so far up its ass that its arms are missing. The best thing to do, is if you happen to be on your way up to canada coming from NYC, or going south form canada, drop in and pull a show. I-87, Exit 21from the south, or 22 from the north. Its right in between. the main street is canada street. theres a park on the lake side(east) and an open roadway that leads down onto a small beach and a resturant. there's a drugstore opposite the park. it seems like an odd spot but is aperfect pitch fright around 7:30pull the crowd down the hill and make it a good show. there will be someone along to yell at you, but you're likely to get your show off first, mabey two. you will likely see high school age kids playing some horn or another scattered around. thats what the village likes. just ignore them they can't give you any useful information. Last year they put up a sign on that corner on a lampost advertising "free" street entertainment, after they told me I couldn't work there any more, I fed my kids off of that corner, now I'm determined. I guess I needed the kick inthe ass, so I could get further. Now I'm broke, and busting my ass to make a show that works outside of that hole.there's no use crying.
Do a show, when the woman who looks like a man yells at you, tell her I said Hi.
Give lake george a BIG middle finger for me in the nicest possible way

Is this Larry Rundle?

I remember that manwoman. I busked Lake George 2 summers ago, I was working at "Roaring Brooks" up there, and had to give it a shot. I had no problem at all getting a permit, cheap too, (Called 'em a few days ahead, though) but that woman was PISSED when she found out I had one. Wierd place, I didn't make enough to explore further, but you can feel the potential.

Taxi,

Do you have the number you called for the permit? We might give it a try for shits and giggles. <img src="graemlins/jester.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" />

I forget, but the Lake George Chamber of Commerce is 518 668 5755. For what its worth, they liked the fact that I was experienced, so that's the card I would play in approaching them. G'luck.

yes, I am Larry Rundle. Taxi trix, who are you?
Triona, go ahead and give it a shot. What do you do? if you have a circle show, and draw a decent crowd, they'll send you to a spot that looks like a hot spot, and who knows mabey you will do well, but i did 5-times as well in the pitch they originall designated for me. When they sent me to that spot, I lost a LOT. If you want More info, I can set you up with whatever you need. It's a real sketchy scene. I can give you more insight. if you contact me directly. mailto:theincrediblelarry@hotmail.comtheincredible larry@hotmail.com</a>
