At the Elephant House - Birthplace of Harry Potter

This bar is after the that the book Dr. Jerkyl and Mr. Hyde is written about.  The author of the book was from Edinburgh and the character was based on a real person who was a gentleman during the day and at night he used people's house keys to burglarize them.

Edinburgh is a pretty neat city.  Many authors have come from Edinburgh including the dude that wrote Sherlock Holmes, J.K. Rowling, Robert Louis Stevenson, to name a few.  Edinburgh has a magical feel to it.  The entire time we were there it was foggy which may have added to this feeling.  

York, England

We made a visit to York, England.

wurst fest

Oktoberfest

On Sunday, October 3rd, I participated in the 200th year of Oktoberfest in Munchen.

A few things that I was witness to: Scottish men in kilts, Spanish men dressed as bull fighters and as a bull, dirndls of every color, drunken people falling off benches that they were standing and dancing on.

I was able to take a ride on the Ferris wheel so I was able to get a full view of Oktoberfest.

Half the Battle - Make up Artist Again

I was the makeup artist for Half the Battle. Half the Battle is three one-act plays, one of three plays performs in a competition in K-town.

The roles of the actors that I had to apply makeup on: a spotted man, an ape-like man, male ants and one normal Stage manager.

By the way, I found out that the make up won first place in the award show. 

This is Mike.  He had spots all over his body and he was down to only his boxers and socks at certain parts in the play.  And the map of Italy on his lower back.

The spotted man and the ape like man.  I did their makeup but not Kim's.

More pictures of the makeup or shall I say face paint that I did.

Here are the ants that I did the makeup for.  And I made the sparkly swirls on the queen ant.

The Queen and her swirls that I painted on.

Matt, male ant (droid), me, Julee and Jake, male ant.... I did these boys' makeup.

Here is my painting of Italy.
