In yesterdays blog I made mention of Bob Baker and his great performance at the Vent Haven ConVENTion and I just loved his use of the Bill Nelson figure which Bob gave an English persona.

I just can’t believe that this years ConVENTion celebrating the life and career of Jimmy Nelson has now come and gone. As far as I am concerned it was one of the best times I have ever had with a convention.
I have been involved with clocks, cars, and magic to name a few and have been to conventions with them all and none compare to the family that we share as lovers of the art of ventriloquism. Those other venues always have multi jealousies and would never offer to help anyone else. Not so with our family.
New Product from Axtell Expressions at the ConVENTion
You never know what you will see at the ConVENTion. One such item was a ventriloquist novelty product created by Ikkokdou and Steve Axtell called the “Mic Mouth”.
It’s a great device to use for audience participation and made it’s debut at the ConVENTion.
Travel Day, Leaving the Vent Haven ConVENTion
It’s been a great and busy Vent Haven ConVENTion but it’s all over now.
Today is a travel day for most of us. I’m leaving for the airport shortly and Steve will be leaving to drive back home as well.
