What's the minimum age limit for these shows Dennis?

Hey Cody,
The club says 18 but I might be able to sneak you in. Will you be coming with your mom? I'm heading over there tonight to watch Frankie Foola do a set. I'll talk to the door guy and see whats up.
BTW.... We have Dave Johnson in the line up as M/C. This is going to be crazy!

Cody,
I asked but it looks like you need to be 18 to get in. If I get any other information I'll let you know.
Dennis

Thanks Dennis, and if I can get in, I'll probably have one of my parents with me since I wouldn't have a ride if they didn't. It will still be about a year and a half untill I can apply for my permit. Hopefully, something can be worked out, since I haven't done a public gig since December, and I really want to get out and preform, especally since I'm about to start doing b-day parties.

Cody,
I'll get you a DVD of the show.

I am going to be in Louisville at that time. I will see if I can get my friends to go to the show.

Hope you can make it. Be sure to say hi.
Dennis

Sounds like a nice lineup Dennis, and I'm glad to see that Mike Stout is preforming again with his Zener & Bedford act after what happened to his wife.

Cody,
I'm really looking forward to it working with Paul & Mike. I can't imagine going through what he did. Somehow we have to move on and make the best of it. Hopefully we can share some laughs.
Dennis

I will. I am pretty sure I will go to the show. I was shocked to hear about Mike's wife. I never met her but I stopped down his shop the two times I was in Louisville. Is it true that he closed it? Are there any other magic shops in Louisville?

I'm pretty sure Mike closed the store.
The other magic shop in Louisville is Caufields at 10th & Main. This is where Mac King & Lance Burton worked as teenagers. The current staff magician is Manny Ehrlich who is on the show April 28th. He works part time 1-4.

Dennis

Thanks Dennis for the information. I emailed my friend that lives in KY yesterday and he ordered the tickets for the show.

Mike actually sold the shop, but it's still open under new owners.

Cody,

Thanks for the info.

Ur welcome!
