Weird Live Wires' Phone Calls

I swear to God there is nothing like calls to Live Wires.

I just got a phone call this morning from a guy who was inquiring about employment as a Santa.

I told him that we were pretty full up on Santa's but thanks for calling. He responded that there probably would be lots more bookings coming in, but I contradicted that, telling him most of the Santa bookings had been done, that the last-minute ones wouldn't be of such a huge quantity that we couldn't handle them.

Then he started yelling at his kids who were playing in the background, telling them to be quiet. They quieted for 30 seconds and then they started making noise again. He said in an aside to me, "How do you deal with kids like this?" He then yelled at them again, threatening them with, "You know what I will have to do if you make me get off this toilet."

I beat a hasty retreat off the phone . . .

After Holiday Easter Bunnies & Irish Leprechauns

Now that we're done for this year with St. Paddy's Day leprechauns and Easter bunnies (www.live-wires.com/holiday), we're starting into the bachelor and bachelorette party season and booking male and female strippers all over the place. As the weather gets nicer in Seattle, people turn more to party and socializing mode. Exotic dancers who have suffered all winter with Seattleites hunkering down over their nice dinners, books and coffee are now coming into full "flower," so to speak. More barbecues, beer and craziness now.

Children's Birthday Party Tips

A lot of clients ask us which type of performers we would recommend for different age groups. There's really no rule, every child is different, but we've found the following trends to be helpful when making recommendations:

Ages 1-3 - This age group adores recognizable characters from television & books - Winnie the Pooh, Barney, Elmo, Scooby Doo, to name a few. The mascot will stay for 30 minutes of dancing, sing-alongs, hugs, and photos, with the toddlers. If you want someone to stay longer, we do have some clowns who wear minimal clown paint on their face, and are terrific with toddlers, and they stay for a full hour, playing the same games & sing-alongs, but also bringing balloon animals & face painting to the party.

Ages 4-6 - This age group is perfect for either a character, or a clown. Characters, like Spiderman, Batman, Cinderella, or Sleeping Beauty, stay for 45 minutes to 1hr, and lead the children in high-energy & interactive games that fit the character's theme. Clowns stay for 1hr; they lead games too, but also can provide a short pocket magic show, balloon animals and face paint.

Ages 7 and up - This age group responds well to our Children's Magicians. The magicians fill their 1hr show with more advanced magic tricks and possibly even some juggling. Magicians are a little more expensive than a regular clown, but with older kids we've found the cheaper pocket magic shows can be too simple for them and they need bigger illusions to keep their interest.
