We had a great show last weekend at Balboa Park in San Diego. We introduced our new Splash! artist Paul Naylor. Check him out. Stephen was there as well and performed his crowd pleasing upside-down Orangutan.

Free Splash! Show at Balboa Park – Nov 3

Hello Splash! fans. We have had so many requests to see Splash! Faces of the Wild again LIVE, we had to set up a free show. Splash! Faces of the Wild will be performed at Balboa Park next to the large fountain (near the Science Museum). Stephen, James and I will be there along with our new Splash! artist Paul Naylor. Here are the details:

Date: Saturday; November 3

Time: 2:00 p.m.

Location: Balboa Park – Main Fountain

P.S. Yes, a few lucky folks will get a T-shirt splashed! If you already have a Splash! T-shirt, please feel free to wear it to the show.

We hope to see you there. If you can’t make it, I will post photos on the blog.
