My parents are snowbirds. They have a condo in Tucson, Arizona where many western Canadian’s hide from the cold north. They invited me and my brother down for a family vacation. While I was down here I couldn’t help, but DANCE!

Last weekend while I was here the University of Arizona was having a book fair to promote literacy. They were expecting crowds of around 50,000. I borrowed my moms car and headed down to promote smiles!

It didn’t take long before the sherif removed me, but everyone was so supportive. I only performed to about 3 songs and they had already filled my hat with 1 dollar bills. Once I was told to stop I stuck around to watch the LinleyLopez Circus. They were hired to do several shows during the festival. The show really inspired me. These guys are paid good money to put on a fairly simple show. I learned how I NEED more filler!!

During the rest of the week I decided to just dance on street corners. The sun was out and I wanted to tan so I decided to go Spandex free. The reactions here were hilarious. SO many young guys would finger me. It was so funny cause all I was doing was dancing to music in my head phones; I didn’t even have my boombox with me. Of course every time someone fingered me I would thrust in there direction.

I see why so many people are afraid to be themselves. You have to remember that these people are fingering you because they are insecure or something in there life makes them feel like this is the best way to handle the situation. It really has nothing to do with you. I definitely want to save up some money and do a world tour!! So many people to shock and amaze.

Stay BRIGHT,
