Old School Cred

http://www.masterpiecemysterys.com/Website/Toplevel/stars.shtml I'm near the top of the list. I googled myself and found a credit for one of my first gigs in Vancouver way way WAY back in the day. I don't remember what year it was... sometime in the 90's. It was a pretty cheezy gig at the Capilano Suspension Bridge. A murder mystery where I played a reclusive woodsman who also counterfeited money... (coins?)... Not only that, I was a shifty fellow and master of slight-of-hand. HAHAHAHahahaha. I was used to street performing and working the magic shop. I was somewhat out of my element following a loose script for a musical mystery and somehow trying to seem reclusive while approaching guests at the party to drop hints and do tricks with money... Kind of seemed the opposite of what a recluse would do. No I did not sing... thank god! My character was too mysterious for that at least. I thought the whole thing was a fiasco and never did another one. It wasn't the worst gig ever but it was probably a close second. It's interesting to see myself listed as a "Shining Star". I can't visit the bridge without remembering that day vividly. I think I should contact them again after all these years and offer to rebuild their website. It needs work.
