The Roadie Show

We just finished a week-long stint with those badass Chinese kids, the Peking Acrobats. What fun! Iggs and I look forward to this gig every year. The acrobats speak very little english, so communicating very simple bits of info always turns into an entertaining game of charades. A few tips just in case you run into or work with Chinese acrobats:

Eat your food before they see it! These kids get little time to eat and will consume almost anything in sight.
Avoid looking at the half naked girls doing splits in front of you. These kids are teenagers at the oldest, you perv!
Don’t worry when the 13 year-old girl stumbles and falls off of the 3-story human pyramid and lands on her head; she’s trained to hold in the pain until after the show.
