If they book it (and they've got the money) we will come. We don't do a lot
of marketing and so don't appear in the VA Beach area too often. Most of our
shows come from repeat business, word of mouth, referals, or someone who
comes to one of our shows wanting to book us at their location.
 As to the show being ONLY for young viewers, I don't see where Mr. Cannon
said that. He did emphasize that it it would be "a great show for younger
kids", but in the context he said it, I didn't take that to exclude others
in the family. Though I do agree that it would have been nicer if he had
included something about how good the show is for the entire family. This
show and "The Velveteen Rabbit" tend to bring as many adults as kids to the
show. More than any others in our rep, there are often two adults buying
tickets with one or two kids rather than the usual Mom and kid(s) only.
 Overall it is a very good review, bith for us and as a review in general,
so I can't complain.
