Playing the hotel club dates are somewhat easy. We did two shows per night and a 5 day week. The money was good but we had to cut the act back. The ceiling was so low caused us to take out all of  our high tricks.  This was a worry for me as I did not want to lose our strongest tricks. I kept telling my Dad we are circus and we belonged in an arena or at least we needed a larger stage with height. The gig started in the first of February and was to play for eight weeks but they held us over for another eight weeks. When it was over, it took us about two weeks of practice to put the act back in shape, with the perch, wire and the other bigger trick.  Actually I think we all got just a little to lazy.
