"Too risqué for the blog audience?"

Hello?

Ole Whitey,
FYI. Jim had this banner painted in honor of a former love. To keep her identity secret, he had the blonde hair painted red, and gave her big boobs. It´s not risque, it´s a tribute.

Note: Bobby Rawls is my primary Banner painter...Simply..because he takes my imagined concepts to Perfection....But, mostly....Because they SELL tickets....This one...topped all expectations of Artist and Operator!!!...Thanks Bobby...Myself and my ticket box Salute you!!......Jim Zajicek

Jim: I remember taking a photo of you and a few circus fans for White Tops when you were presenting Cuneo's elephants on the Jordan eastern unit in Bloomington, Illinois, in or about 2000. How long have you had the sideshow, and what types of venues do you play? Great looking bannerline.

Ole Whitey...Mr. Burck is mistaken....I do have a banner of the Wonderful Classy Gal he refers to...It is the "Worlds Smallest Horse Banner" in the Banner it has the Gal holding the horse in the palm of her hand while veiwing the Horse with a magnifying glass.....Lane...the BCS started in 2002.(3-Banners)..The show currently plays primarily on Carnivals showing Rodeos, Festivals and Fairs..this year we open in Texas feb.28 in Austin(Rodeo Austin) then Conroe..Poteet..San Antonio and Corpus Christi..then north toward Fargo ND..The Big spots this year will be the Montana State Fair(Great Falls), Montana Fair(Billings) and the Utah State Fair(Salt Lake City) Ok-Ark Fair (Ft Smith Ar) among others, we close early Nov. in La. The whole route is posted at MySpace "Big Circus Sideshow" throughout the year...We may play Illinois in late may early June...I hav'nt decided yet...Always look forward to seeing Fans and Showfolks along the way.....Best...Sincerely Jim Zajicek

Hey Wade,
Maybe if Zych ever goes to the M.C. fest, you and I could bounce tigers for a blow off in his show.

Just think of the extra dollars...
