It was only a week long so there isn't a WHOLE lot to report. Regardless, here is a hearse covered in stuff.<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/001.jpg"><br /><br />First stop, a convenience store run by people with a masters degree obviously..<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/002.jpg"><br /><br />Here is Bizzaro mere moments before whipping beads at the heads of unsuspecting bystanders during the Tucks Parade. He was accompanying the NOLA chapter of the <a href="http://las.stargarrison.com/" target="_blank">501st</a>.<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/003.jpg"><br /><br />Holy crap I think we're lost!! How did we get onto the set of a Mel Gibson movie?<img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/004.jpg"><br /><br />I have no idea what this was about....<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/005.jpg"><br /><br />Or that spider man let himself go. He looks like one of them weird action figures they try to pawn off on kids nowadays. "Gaudy city backpack mid-life crisis Spiderman"!<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/006.jpg"><br /><br />However, I'm pretty sure you could see this on any given day in NOLA...<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/007.jpg"><br /><br />Along the way, we were joined by Della OF the Dead Girl Circus<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/008.jpg"><br /><br />If you don't know what a KIng Cake is, don't let this sour your judgement...<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/009.jpg"><br /><br />Anything can be a costume during Mardi Gras<br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/2008/010.jpg"><br /><br />Don't you wish you had been there? Well.. DON'T YOU!?<br /><br />More to come this week...<br /><br />Bizzaro.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-9041795267665657250?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-68635109296834690502008-02-05T18:38:00.001-08:002008-02-05T18:39:22.965-08:00I swear a real update is coming!!

Stay tuned and if yah want beads... <br /><br />you know the drill.<br /><br />Bizzaro.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-8991256356206655453?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1107940522200253552005-02-09T01:07:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:46.988-08:00Was about the ONLY thing not going on today in the streets. Mind you I am not so sure on the trading wives thing. Reagardless, it was Mardi Gras day. A metric buttload of people in kool costumes, drunk fools, and drunk fools in kool costumes. <br /> <br />I decided not to work and just wander around. I got as decadent as I could by drinking a coke, eating a butter finger and carrying around a bag of Doritos in Jackson Square. (I'm a party aminal I tells yah.) So now it's 40 days and 40 nights of rain.. no wait.. of lent. So for those who gave up lent for lent.. good for you. <br /> <br />I decided not to take photos today for two reasons. One: I left the camera in the car. B: you really need to experience Mardi Gras for yerself so you have to get off yer lazy ass like I did and come see it. Also if you REALLY wanna see photos I am sure there are plenty of sites to see them. <br /> <br />So thaz my report from NOLA. This journal is now official closed until my trip to Chicago in a few months. we'll keep yaah updated. Thanx for joining us!! <br /> <br />Bizzaro. <br />www.smappdooda.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110794052220025355?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1107759962355723762005-02-06T22:41:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:46.804-08:00Mind you I am referring to the sea of idiots here in Nawlins. I actually accomplished one of my goals and got invited to a private party and got to stand on a balcony on Bourbon Street. Allow me to prove it to you... <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola021.jpg"> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola022.jpg"> <br /> <br />ok so no big deal right? Well look at it at NIGHT!!! <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola020.jpg"> <br />Morons as far as the eye can see. <br /> <br />See that guy in the first one? With the big "Jeebus" sign? Yah they are EVERYWHERE out here. Personally we think it's a hell of a ploy. "I can't go party in NOLA buuuuuut if I am (Finger quotes)saving souls(/Finger Quotes) then I can GO!! YAY JEEBUS!!" Anywho.. not everyone likes them. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola027.jpg"> <br /> <br />Now when one guy is holding a sign and the other is saying "Satan loves you, he wants you to have fun" well damn.. thaz entertainment. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola026.jpg"> <br />(To the guy with the signs testament, he was having fun with it. Guy with a sense of humor who is religious. GASP!!) <br /> <br />Of course tonight was the best ironic moment when we snapped this photo... <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola029.jpg"> <br /> <br />Personally I think God is in trouble with people like this working for him. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola030.jpg"> <br /> <br />All right enuff of that, let's meet some of the last street performers here in NOLA. <br /> <br />This girl is one of the crate slugs (See: statue mime) I actually like. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola023.jpg"> <br /> <br />This is Valentino from Yugoslavia.. he's kool. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola024.jpg"> <br /> <br />Here's another... his face and alla the marionettes. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola031.jpg"> <br /> <br />This girl drums for yer dollars. Nice person too. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola025.jpg"> <br /> <br />RANDOMNESS!!! A float I snapped a photo of out the car window... great sculpture. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola028.jpg"> <br /> <br />ok ok.. last few.. this is one of the first people I met out here at the beggining of the month. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola032.jpg"> <br /> <br />And this is Jamie. She is an artist and crazy.. ina good way. <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola033.jpg"> <br /> <br />We'll be back on the 10th in Dallas to film a pilot for a TV show. More on that later. Tomorrow I go see <a href="http://www.cowboymouth.com">Cowboy Mouth</a>!! Be kool everyone. <br /> <br />Bizzaro. <br /> <br />Oh one last thing... we went to a little fetishy/goth thing the other night... <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola034.jpg"> <br />and in two months on A&E you MIGHT get to see me doing magic for Gene Simmons.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110775996235572376?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1107297027513928782005-02-01T14:14:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:46.621-08:00No but damn there is a lot of photos... <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola011.jpg"> <br />one of the many "mimes" NOLA has to offer. This is Uncle Louie. He stands like that for a very long time. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola012.jpg"> <br />I give you.. the graffiti on the public bathroom wall. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola013.jpg"> <br />Another statue mime. His name is Tim and beer makes him work. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola014.jpg"> <br />Sometimes I think about just standing still in my strait jacket to make money. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola015.jpg"> <br />This one actually does something. Moves around like a wind up doll and makes mechanical sounds. Quite nifty. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola016.jpg"> <br />Ok a mime is a terrible thing to waste... kinda. This is a juggler guy who unicycle with a kid on him. Can you say liability? <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola017.jpg"> <br />I think this is titled "Bobbit if he got caught stealing in Muslim country". <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola018.jpg"> <br />Bird man. That is all. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola019.jpg"> <br />Finally my hand as it looked Sunday night after someone got a little buzzed and bored. (note: not me.) <br /> <br />This is just a taste of the zany crap gong on out here. Right now the weather is cold, rainy, and ass. <br /> <br />Hope all is well where you are. <br /> <br />Bizzaro. <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110729702751392878?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1107067998097508852005-01-29T22:46:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:46.475-08:00Yes more evidence of my trip to the land of stuid drunk people. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola007.jpg"> <br />Jimmy, Sketch, and Cozmo.. street guy from NY. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola008.jpg"> <br />New Orleans finally gets to Bizzaro. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola009.jpg"> <br />Cozmo tries to ineffectively hide his money. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola010.jpg"> <br />Yes Harry Anderson lives in NOLA and owns a magic shop called SIDESHOW (and this is the proof). <br /> <br />Saw an "official" parade today. I liked the "locals" parade better. Got a sticker I'll take a photo of later. <br /> <br />Tomorrow the Warpo gathering. <br /> <br />Bizzaro.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110706799809750885?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1106813661147202922005-01-27T01:06:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:46.291-08:00Er January.. whatever. I got photos. WOW AMAZING!!! Ahem... so here we go. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola002.jpg"> <br />The prettiest of the plethora of tarot readers out here. Wyndee is her name and fortelling yer doom is her game. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola003.jpg"> <br />My personal fave photo. Keith, Jimmy, Sketch, and Doc Andrews. What are they looking at? No clue. <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola004.jpg"> <br />Dwayne on break... <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola005.jpg"> <br />James aka: Jimmy Talksalot. Performing street theater. His family brought it over here 300 years ago.... <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola006.jpg"> <br />and the two guys standing behind him. <br /> <br />Want more? Damn yer a glutton for punishment. More soon!! <br /> <br />Bizzaro. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110681366114720292?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1106714073249571512005-01-25T20:24:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:46.134-08:00Well instead of Knights o' Sleights we opted to hit the Murder Bar on the west bank(which is on the east side?) with the local street mages. Jimmy Talksalot, Dante, Elliot, Mr. Andrews, and the esteemed Mr. <a href="http://www.dougconn.com" target="_blank">Doug Conn</a>. <br /> <br />The night went from playing pool, eating pizza, and talking about stuff to let's see who can screw up magic tricks the best. Good time had by all. This sunday the Warpo gathering. <br /> <br />Now the first official photo from NOLA!!! <br /><img src="http://www.smappdooda.com/nola/nola001.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110671407324957151?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1106518928965564512005-01-23T14:17:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:45.993-08:00Or something.. imagine a cajun guy saying it. Regardless, to answer some of the comments... or more precisely one in particular, the variety show went fine. I video taped it... then accidentally taped over it (BLAST!!) So that blows goats. There were a few other acts. Knife throwin', a musical act with siamese twins singing the song from <b>White Christmas</b>, and a sideshow. Those are the most memorable acts but honestly, we were all stars in the goat show. <br /> <br />I have created a gambit for getting money and FINALLY had a good money day friday and a not so bad one saturday. (A little too rainy.) Today is cold. Mr. Sketch is working the streets. Fyne by me. Let him freeze his sponge balls off. So until we get the net fixed where I am staying this is me until next time. Pardi on Garth. <br /> <br />Bizzaro.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110651892896556451?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1106088373987364672005-01-18T14:42:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:45.782-08:00Here is a little plug for the owner of the place we are staying at here in New Orleans.

We don't have the right cable to get them on the computer but when we do.... photos galore. Weather has been cold and rainy. Bad for business, good for cuddling.. with myself. <br /> <br />Regardless, tonight I have a 10 minute stage set in a variety show. Yay new footage. Gonna do my strait jacket, weird, and fire routines. I'll try to update more frequently as we now have net access at the place we are staying. <br /> <br />Keep a light on for us. <br /> <br />Bizzaro.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9931973-110591724103126229?l=nolamagic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bizzaro.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14091146022808949244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931973.post-1105320074374422152005-01-09T17:18:00.000-08:002006-11-11T13:36:45.235-08:00Weather has been cold and rainy but we got to meet the competit..er.. other street performers.
