Hello everyone.   We hope you're doing well. Clown the World 2016 starts very, very soon.  Right now I'm in China at a wonderful clown festival with many old and new clown friends and Vanessa has already ventured to Costa Rica to volunteer at a few different places.   After China I'll have about 4 days at home (one of which will be spent on my stilts in Old City Philadelphia for about 5 hours!) and then I'll fly down to meet here. We'll take the bus to the first shows scheduled in Sarapiqui, Costa Rica and then the trip will have officially begun.   The shows will be the fun part, figuring out how to get around in short time spans and all of the logistics will be the hard part.  Wish us luck with all of that and more.  - Andrew
