lots of fun to share after the fact.
We videotape many of our performances and I find we watch things only once or twice when it all goes as planned. However, those gems when something unplanned is caught live on tape are re-run again and again. I have a shot of a tiny rabbit falling from a Rabbit Wringer that embarrassed me terribly as it happened, but is just funny now. (Needless to say, the rabbit was quite alright. I'm confident I hurt worse!) Won't you share your experiences with me and other NEW TOPS readers? If it is so terrible that you'd like to remain anonymous, I'll be glad to respect your wishes. Perhaps you witnessed the flub of another performer (I have a doozy to tell you about!) and want to share that. The criteria, though, is that in retrospect it is funny. Injuries and the like are not what I have in mind. I think we'll all learn a thing or two and it should be great fun in the process.
My sources tell me that young John Gabala out East has had some recent success. You may remember his questions several months ago. Well, the teenaged performer filled in for an older and more established act and did an excellent job. Was my advice at all helpful? I don't know, but it is gratifying to hear that good things happen to good people.

NOTICE: If you read no further this month, please jump to the end of this article and note that I have moved. After over twelve years at the same address, I decided to move everything to the suburbs and, although in actual distance I am probably only about one mile from my previous home, it has been a big and time-consuming adjustment.
Already some letters have arrived with opinions concerning the trio of Mis-Made Girl articles. I want to hold off any further comment on my part until more of you have had an opportunity to decide and write. Please let me know what you think.
I have an idea for an upcoming article that I would like to make an annual topic. It is a "just for the fun of it" topic that I think will be fun to write and, I hope, very funny to read. I would like to devote one month each year to monumental goofs. It happens to all of us and it is always excruciating as it occurs, but
