 To
feel that refreshing breeze of laughter, Keep your feet on the ground and
remember: Fans are
required !
"My first thought about
starting a fan club was what annual dues to charge for founding members. $4,000
a year seemed a good starting figure. With a strong sales pitch, my wife agreed
to sign up. So far, she's the only founding member in default on her dues. In
fact, she's the only founding member. Guess I needed a better pitch."
Anyway, Here are some shots
from the annual Fan club picnic.
|
"At those hot summer annual picnics,
being surrounded by fans simply is -- as cool as it gets!" |
|
"The Coach is
hilarious! I saw his act and laughed so hard! It's been two weeks now
and I still can't get my jaws closed!" |
|
"Me and my '89 Olds
are old friends. We go everywhere together. Having her to lean on gives
me that confident edge every agent dreads!" |
|
"When we arrived at
the picnic, my fans went crazy. They piled in the Olds so fast my wife,
Debbie, ended up on the trunk. Makes me wonder: Is it the Olds or is it
me?" |
|
"All fan club
members get to lean on the Olds too!"
|
|
"They say being a
comic on the road all the time is a lonely life. Wrong! It's not lonely.
But without loyal fans and my trusty Olds, it can be expensive!" |
|
"Not another
autograph! Oh! Forgot to sign the check for the caterer-- again. These
private party gigs are getting pricey!" |
|
"Dave is a male
dancer from Newport News, Virginia. He's President of the fan club and
hasn't missed but one show in five years. That was when he had a
high-paying gig at a bachelorette party." |
|
Van Johnston: "When
the Coach is workin' a campground, I'm there with my RV stocked with hot
dogs, Sauerkraut, and chili for the party after the show. He calls it
the Chuck Wagon. Gives me $500 off on fan club membership and a free
T-shirt. What more can you ask? The way I see it, I'm ridin' his coat tails!" |
|
Terrible Teagle, Bodyguard at large:
"I
go to all the Coach's shows and watch his back. He's the most generous
person I know. After every show, he gives me a free T-shirt and an extra trip to the chuck
wagon!" |
