Well folks, along with the Blue & Gold gigs, it's coming up on Fraternity Rush Party season. Be sure to mail to the houses on your local campus, post an ad in the campus paper and post ads on the bulletin boards of the college town shops and hangouts.

Steve that is a great idea for those who feel they have a show or style that fits that market. For me, that would be way out of character for me as I specialize mainly in family-style magic and illusion shows. Great idea though.

I don't know about Ohio, but I've done them in New York State where there is often alcohol served...a lot of alcohol.
I did a Frat party two years in a row at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, and it was a rowdy, drinking crowd. I did okay, but one student sitting in front threw up in middle of my show the last year. And, I don't think it was a commentary on my act either. I passed on the booking when they called me the following year. Just check on whether alsohol is being served and decide if you want to deal with that. |

Never had a real problem with it. I even did the milk pitcher with a pitcher of beer and a cone made from a blue exam folder with a huge "F" on it in red. Went over big time.
