Petra! We even took pictures! It's been a few months, but we still get giddy thinking about it. We were working for the Children's Museum of Jordan (an amazing museum and great people) and motored down to the Dead Sea and then Petra. Unbelievably beautiful ancient city.

Quickly after Jordan we performed in Ypres, Belgium, wrangling European agents as best we could in English. Our Dari and Mandarin were of no use, and it looks like French, Spanish, and German are on our To Do list.

We did our Human Tightrope stunt on Letterman, air date 1/30/2009. The trick has now been renamed in rehearsal as "the Letterman trick." We were on national air for a grand total of 10 seconds, and Mr. Letterman thought Christina was a guy. Yup, the big time.

Recently we've been in Canada, and that great country will be hosting us several times more this year. We'll be chucking water balloons at each other all summer.

In family news, Christina's brother is wedded and Seth's sister is pregnant, though not with each other. We get to see Claire's blooming belly when we perform in Ashland this fall.

Two more shows are in development: Abraca-oops! the magic show is ready to be booked for the fall of 2009 and Ka-Bloom!, an extended indoor version of our show Waterbombs, is in the works.

In comic commiseration,

Seth and Christina
