Patrick Ferri’s WRECKAGE-O-RAMA!!!

Dave Cox and I will be performing as Irving “The Evil” Goldstein and “Wicked Wheel” Rosenbomb in the unicycle stunt show with The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus.
The show is this Friday, June 25th at the Helsinki Cafe in Hudson, NY; 405 Columbia St.
Dave and I have been working from dawn to dusk, literally for the new show at PS21on July 3rd. I should have some rehearsal pictures up here soon.

I just put the skis away and there is a lot to put in here about all of the skiing and the skating this winter. It was great !!
I , with the help of many people including Dave Sacco, cleared off my neighbors pond and flooded it with Fred Rudman’s pump.
This lead to good ice conditions and some pretty good pond hockey.
Also, my last skis of the year were done in the Gaspesie National Park of Canada. I will post some pictures soon.
Now on to the comedy !
Dave Cox and I are hard at work on the shows new props which seem to include a boat and an airplane. More to come.
Needless to say, the work should be worth the hours.
The show at Proctors went well and hopefully we can book the GE Theatre in the fall for a full
run.
Talk to you soon,
Pat.

Hello,
Just an update to let you know what is happening. Summer jobs have started booking up and Dave cox and I have started writing some new material for the Those Two Guys’ show. We hope to have a classic plumbing skit up for this edition. At least that is where it is starting.
I am also sending in an application to Cirque Du Soleil as they are calling for physical comics.
I will be working with Sean Fagan’s Circus Theatricks in Troy, New York at the New York State Theatre Institute. We will be running a circus camp for kids while they are off for a week from classes. Eric Shovah will be directing and I
will take care of the unicycling and clowning. The theme is “Recyling” and I need to get busy with the ideas now if they are going to have a show next Friday.
Also, Keith Nelson and Stephanie Monseu of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus have been busy getting together all kinds of events with the unicycles, as well as their own numerous projects. One in particular is a unicycle convention on Governors Island in New York City’s harbor. The convention is tentatively set for September 17, 18 and 19 , 2010. I will have more information as it becomes available.
The skiing has been pretty good this year up in Austerlitz and even though there hasn’t been much snow we have maintained our base throughout winter. I have 43 days on snow. The Lake Placid Loppet was this past weekend and I opted not to ski the 50 kilometer because of of a nagging injury. My friends Jason Kahn and Len Collins both did the race and did awesome. The high temperature was 25 degrees, bright and sunny.
I did however get myself into a hockey game on Mirror Lake with some kids from Delaware that were in Placid for a Can-AM tournament. They had never played hockey
on natural ice. My buddy Kurt and I started playing against 2 of the boys and next thing we knew there were 20 of them. The ones that were not playing kept running back to their hotel and grabbing their skates and sticks to join in. Great time.
Next weekend, the 19th, I leave for The Keskinada in Ottawa, Ont. If I am feeling well enough I will attempt the 53 km race up there.
I also hope to see a friend of mine Jean-Guy Beaudry perform in Ottawa. We have met a few times at the Rochester Juggle-In. He has seen me perform but I have not caught his act yet.
Below is a photo of Dave Cox and I riding around City Hall in Albany for a press conference to promote Winterfest.

Enjoy the rest of winter and hope to see you soon,
Pat.
