a lot different. in these you get to be a kid with the kids you entertain and u really do forget your normal life and problems. the kids can be a nightmare too but you give the character some authority and they listen. lots o patience but still worth the while.

Are you through a company or on your own? 'Cause if you're on your own, it must be hard paying for the costumes out of your own pocket, no?

my boss and most angents want peeps who are 20-30 or peeps who look it. in our case and my case she may make exceptions if you look it and you are young spirited like a 21 year old excited about life but sitll a kid at heart. that make sense? the bike keeps us fucking young yo! if you look in you twenties and you're beyond 30. do it! if you love kids, you gotta have love and tolerance for kids and good authority and control. you guys lead rides, were bunch of drunk jackasses behaving like children without a care in the world. we all have lead rides. until fucking eddyboyinla tries to intentionally hi-jack the motherfucker.... (lol). but anyway if you can put up with our antics you can put up with pint size versions of this trouble which is much more tameable and fun. kids are the innocense and joy of the world. being around them makes life and the world less scary again (momentarily) until you get back to this adult world. it's getting paid to be a kid w kids, is the way i look at it. I have no kids but will be an uncle in 7.5months... im super excited to be the greates uncle that has ever lived on earth and in the entire universe. my lil sis (9.5 years my junior) will be a mother in 09.
IM GONNA HAVE THIS LIL THING IN A BABY SEAT ON MY BIKE ON TOP A PANIER RACK AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE FOR HE/SHE TO DO SO!!!! i want him/her to get brainwashed into this lifestyle early on... BMX, MTN BIKE, TRI, ROAD, LONG DISTANCE ROAD, RACING: ROAD: FIXIE:VELODROME, FIXIE STREET. YEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

no wonder... you're a sag. My bday is the 8th and I also suffer from Peter Pan Syndrome. I do have a respectable job... but I'd much rather spend it playing with kids as a kid and being in a full blown costume!! that is awesome.
