More Chickens in thong bikinis in Canton. A face painter in Childersburg AL for a Mapco grand opening. A Chicken in a tutu with roses in Buckhead. Buddy the Elf for a 7th anniversary to her poor husband the teacher... who was overrun by the students.
A juggling Jester in Cataulah with flowers for a Mom's bday.
More Chickens in thongs for multiple birthdays including one with a bouquet of favorite types of chips for a colorist at Sola Salon. A cop in Smyrna to scare a favorite Aunt. A male Dom with a horse crop for a wife in Woodstock at a mechanic's shop with flowers and balloons!!
And balloon sculpting for a bday party near the airport for some funny kids...

And on another note, I was a disgruntled customer as a telegram for a Willy's employee last year. But had to be a real disgruntled customer when the employees would not honor the free meal that I was sent via email because I didn't have an app... It was fixed and the manager remembered me from the telegram... Life imitating art.. or vice versa...

We have had some interesting events of late...

Did balloons in the heat at Blackburn Park for a dental office with food trucks abounding.

Had one of my guys do a Bridgerton character at Shepherd Spinal Center for an employee with balloons and a big cake!

I was a Chicken in a thong bikini with balloons in Canton for a fun gal who had a busted knee... She loved it!

I was also a Chicken in a tutu with balloons, for a gal at a big house across from Chastain.. She was scared of me but the dogs were unfazed.. that's unusual

Just realized I didn't talk about last week...today.. oboy. So had an interesting telegram (repeat customer) who hired us for her Guncles... (gay uncles) and instead of a traditional telegram, she asked for a caricature artist who went over and drew them! Pretty cool.

Also a Chicken in a Thong for an artist and co-worker, Wolfdog of ABV Gallery in E Atlanta. He was a lot of fun and played along well.

One of my guys did an Elvis telegram in Akin SC for a bestie.

And a birthday party for a dramatic 6 year old... unfortunately there wasn't much painting going on since they had a water bouncie house, but I did blow a good bit of balloon animals for them. Lots of swords were had by all...

Another slow couple of weeks, which makes me even more slack and sleepy... But anyway, two weeks ago I accepted a job at Fort Moore, and have no idea what I was thinking. I hate driving long distances and that was 5 hours round trip. I was teaching belly dance and hula for the library there and not one of the staff knew how to set up their sound system to plug into my laptop, despite the fact that I had called days before to make sure they had something to play my music. So it was a mess and one of them downloaded songs onto her phone that were not the same arrangements as the ones I use. However, They played over the speaker, but the 4/5 year olds were somewhat interested. I had about 25 kids and a few mothers who participated and there were a few who came up to tell me how great it was and what a great dancer I was, which was sweet but alas not again.

Then last week I was Wonder Woman for a telegram in Roswell, Chicken in a thong with balloons in Buford at a gold/coin buying business, and another Chicken at K Pop restaurant in McDonough for a male breastfeeding nurse... whew...

Hoping for some more business this week. Give us a call!

On the quieter side, but we had a Chicken in a thong for a worker in a cubicle in front of his coworkers in Gainesville, a birthday party with balloons with one of my cohorts, a 3 hour in the rain mostly event at a subdivision in Acworth where some face painting and balloons happened after the storms finally subsided, and a Chicken in a thong bikini for an "old 30-year-old". Between the temps and the rain, was a bit challenging this week.

Hoping for better days ahead!

Fairly busy this week..
Had a Hairy Fairy in Sandy Springs for a structural engineer, an Elvis for Clairmont Veterinarian in Decatur, Hairy Fairy with booze in Marietta for an apartment complex boss, and a Leprechaun in Roswell for Bella Advisors and a work anniversary. Also did a birthday party in E. Point with face painting and balloons and the adults also got into the fun.

We are pretty open for the 4th if anyone is needing any entertainers... let us know!

Sometimes there are clients who don't know what they want, I try to guide them but they are resistant to look at my website. I ask them to look at the ideas so we can get a character that might be conducive to the person or the theme that we are singing for. But I have had a bad experience today after explaining that my website is www.hare-brainedproductions.com and there is a page with all costumes listed. They still did not like any of the ideas. I was also out of ideas...

Hire Hare-Brained Productions for your next party entertainment. We provide entertainers for your party, corporate event, or special occasion nation wide!

Last week was very slow. We had George Washington sing at Papadeaux's in Lawrenceville for 3 senior birthdays... But it was not without drama. I had called a manager a week prior and was told it was fine. I have also performed multiple times at two of their restaurants. But when my client got to the restaurant the manager said no way and my performer would be turned away. I called and argued with the very non-customer service-friendly manager named Summer who refused to allow despite my previous agreement. I had to call corporate to get them to talk to the manager. Then said manager, said he could sing two songs. Of course, afterward, the manager then wanted a photo with my performer!!!! Truly disgusted with them, but glad it happened and the client and her friends were very happy...

I had a Chicken in a bikini, hula skirt, and lei for a luau-themed party for a brother who apparently didn't want anyone to sing to him. But it was silly and fun. He played along just fine and a very loud Happy Birthday was sung at the end.

Shout out to Hob Nob and Pappadeaux Lawrenceville for being less than customer service friendly and refusing to have singing telegrams at their restaurant. Pappadeaux even approved it over a week ago and then last minute when my client arrived said no... I mean this is really unacceptable. You know we can stop going to these restaurants that aren't cool or fun...

Well... a very interesting and stressful week to an extent. One of my gals was going to a church conference at Marriott Gateway for the Unshakable Faith conference to sing, sent by a gal who could not attend and was giving props to a friend. The assistant and contact person named Courtney agreed to help. When my gal got there with flowers and in a Belle dress, the assistant told her she could not sing and then when got her on the phone denied that she said that. Courtney has no idea who Belle is from the Disney movie...She then made my gal wait for an hour (and that should never happen) to appease this woman and again was denied to do this. She left the flowers and card and tried to get to the second telegram on the other side of the universe in Suwannee on a Friday. Was an hour late and thankfully it was ok but the whole conundrum with the conference and Courtney screwed us all up... very stressful. After that fiasco, one of my guys did a Hairy Fairy at a karaoke bar in Doraville... was fine but of course the contact could not be contacted...SMH...

Had an event for a repeat client in Conyers face painting and ballooning in 98 degrees outside. I spent most of my time on my phone as everyone chose to stay inside while I waited for them outside.

One of my guys worked another event in Canton and did balloons and the face painter who was not hired by me didn't speak English.

And today I think was my first telegram for Father's Day... I brought a liter of Makers Mark, and sang in the sweltering heat in a chicken suit with a thong bikini... I sang This Dad is on Fire, Alive, Fuel, and Celebration.. Thought it went pretty well, was extremely winded since it was that hot in a fur and rubber suit... But did my best...
Texted the wife and told her it was fine, he laughed. She asked if she could send me a tip, and I thanked her and said if she wanted to, much appreciated. Well no tip showed up... kind of weird and sad.

Ok, so here's a cheers to a better week than this one... Happier and easier gigs with people who are cooperative and helpful!!!

Verrryyyy sloowwwww week...

One generic boy band telegram from a gf group to their bestie in Buckhead and a Chicken in a thong for another bestie at Hob Nob (wouldn't let us into the restaurant - smh) behind the patio enclosure screaming over the music at Atlantic Station.... Both were hits!

Let us know what we can do for you coming up.... Are you having summer soirees? Do you need to send a loved one a telegram?

Slow start to the summer but we had a blustery birthday party in Gainesville on Saturday face painting/balloons... much fun was had by young and old.
Another birthday in Buckhead for one of my juggler/stilt walkers and yet another birthday for one of my gal juggler/stilt walkers also in Buckhead...
And yesterday working with one of my friends face painting at 12 Stone Church in Braselton...
Lots of driving this past weekend.

Week started with Leprechaun for a birthday with very expensive wine... (I've never paid $185 for wine... hope it was awesome!)
Then a Chicken with a tres leches cake at the Ritz for a Canadian.. my first out-of-the-country transaction. He loved it and sang and danced along..
A Game of Thrones Night Watchmen for a 30-year-old enthusiast with flowers...she was entranced.
One of my very favorite clients/friends who hires me a lot Worthmore Jewelers Harris and the Hairy Fairy with balloons that entertained him...
Another Hairy Fairy at the Provino's in Kennesaw for a boss's birthday...

And piece de resistance - the Great Parade at Chabad of Israel on Chamblee Dunwoody... with a clown juggler, juggler stilt walker and two balloon artists... (the jugglers/stilts had to walk a very slow parade which wasn't really a parade but a march...) Well, it was rough... was treated poorly by the people that hired us, the cops, and the Rabbi who went around directing my entertainers to do things they were not contracted to do. Stuck us in the sun next to a very loud DJ speaker... dripping sweat...and in 90 degree heat , lit a 12 foot bonfire in the middle of the parking lot..nobody cared. Very disappointed and unhappy that I accepted the job from the synagogue. They were not fun to work with and did not honor our agreement, and will not work with them again. Dislike having to work with clients who are less than professional, have to beg them for payment...

All over the place kind of week..
Chicken in a thong with balloons in Canton,
Generic Boy Band Singer in Adairsville for a very embarrassed dentist, Batman for a teacher in Milton with cookies to embarrass him in front of his students singing love songs for his 15th anniversary, Bridgerton character with flowers for a bridesmaid ask at a party in VaHI, Chicken in a thong for a brother with balloons and niece's birthdays in Canton, and our annual Chattahoochee Food Works 3rd Anniversary with face painting/balloons, magic, juggling/stilts. Had a great time at the Works... lots of sweet customers who did a lot of tipping and I think we made some friends as well...

18/05/2024

Hey, if you don't want me to call you about an event or telegram, please don't contact me and then yell at me when I try to communicate. Are there lots of people who have forgotten that they contacted me...?

Kind of busy last week... Chicken in Buckhead, a two-hour event in Newnan for Hitachi with one of my face painters for the employees.... all were very fun and cool. Taylor Swift with flowers telegram in Smyrna for an 8th Grade Graduation... the gal sang along with my Taylor Swift... very cute. Elvis with lilies for Mother's Day from a very understated son. And a Hairy Fairy with balloons for a birthday/Mother's Day for a gal from her girlfriends, although she was in bed...?

All went well. We are doing the 3rd anniversary for Chattahoochee Food Works next Saturday the 18th from 12 -7. Come for face painting from 12-2, balloons from 2-4, magic from 4-6 and juggling/stilts from 5-7.... Always a fun time!

Besides the clients who never got back to me after trying to reach them.... There were a few good gigs this week.
Chicken in a Thong Bikini with Balloons for a Dad in Peachtree City... He seemed to enjoy his 77th... and hoped I sparked up the joint a bit for the occasion.

A 16th birthday for a Granddaughter, who was pretty embarrassed at the Longhorn in Douglasville. Gorilla in a thong bikini, of course..
She apparently cried ... but they were happy tears. Whew... And Grandma said she would be hiring me again as it was a great show.. Thank you Patti!

And a relocated birthday party for a very young 40-year-old brother. They wanted a Gorilla and was going to be in the park but had to move down the road towards the house. The kids were entranced with me, but was there for the 40-year-old. I had to do a little Grateful Dead, which is new and a bit of roasting from his siblings... and a long message that took two pages. I think he liked it...

Can anyone give me an answer as to why a customer sends an email, sometimes with both a phone number and an email and confoundingly, I cannot get a hold of this person... This happens frequently. I have heard that people don't answer their phones, don't read their emails... I mean, how am I supposed to communicate? Carrier pigeon? Smoke signals?

A little slow this week, but had a repeat customer for her husband on their anniversary... she wanted Buddy the Elf.... all went well.

Same one of my guys was a mime for a school function which had a very hot and sweaty gym... not great for a mime face... ugh. But they loved him.

A b***y Hairy Fairy to a survivor of cancer and the end of radiation!! Woo Hoo! She loved it!

And a last-minute Chicken in a Thong with a Budweiser 40 in a fancy wine bag for a 60-year-old Delta pilot. Huge crowd at his party and took 10 minutes to get the crowd to gather for a photo with the Chicken...

May Day is almost here.... Anyone need a telegram for a May Pole Dance or for Mother's Day??

22/04/2024

A crazy busy week -
Chicken in a Thong for a gal in Tyrone that was almost missed but saved by a traffic jam.

Gwinnett Tech Student Appreciation for the 2nd year - great DJ, had to put up with crazy parameters by a coordinator who wanted only middle school dance songs played and was forbidden to wear a bandanna...??

Building Inspector telegram for a builder and I was Bill Billings Building Inspector who cited the birthday boy for many things including building on an Indian burial ground... etc at The Butcher Shop in Buckhead.

A friend and frequent client hired us for a chalkboard sign 16 x 5 foot (which was a first and done freehand) for his daughter's wedding as well as a fire performer who sent the happy couple off with a large fire blow... at The Strand.

A birthday party for a 12-year-old with face painting/balloons but really marred by the gel pellet guns that were the obvious hit at the party while the mother screamed at the kids continually to put the safety glasses on...!!!

And a dual 40th Birthday party for two gals who wanted the best magician (not cheesy) and they got it at Southbound Restaurant in Chamblee! He was a hit and lavishly tipped as well... Thank you Arthur!

Good week, let's keep it goin'!

People are really nasty these days... I received an email with a phone number and email from someone named Nikii for her 90 year old grandma... I called and left two voicemails. I then emailed her to say, please call if you are still interested. She writes, "I got no calls from you.." I said I called twice but now don't have your number because I assumed you were not interested. She then writes "Girl F U..." Um really?? I am supposed to do business with people who can't even answer a phone and then cuss me out online? Wow... Nope.

A bit of crazy last week... Gorilla in a thong with flowers in Alpharetta, Chicken with a Heart at Old Lady Gang in Camp Creek that apparently doesn't have a phone, Gorilla in a thong in Stockbridge while waiting for a bad Uber driver who was late and screwed my whole day up..

30 mins of balloons for a birthday party whose balloon artist bailed on them the day before on Saturday... I riled the kids up and many balloons were made.

Telegram for a 19-year-old in an AirBnB and the premise was a British Bell Hop who followed the gal from London when she visited last month. The gal was quite embarrassed and ran into the bedroom but came back out. All was well.

And an obstacle course for a Fulton county event on Saturday...

Interesting week...
One of my guys was Bon Jovi for a gf's bday with balloons at a Sleep Store in Cu***ng. A Hairy Fairy with flowers for another gf's bday at Ridenour Sports in Canton. A Chicken in a Tutu for a chicken processing company (boooooo).
7 Oaks Subdivision's Easter Egg Hunt had me And one of my gals for face painting and balloons on Saturday, and then a Chicken with a heart for a gal who works at the Zoo. She's leaving there and moving on to live further away. It was crazy busy and the kids there thought I was a mascot for them... oy...
Then today a rapper's party... I think. They wouldn't tell me what his name was, made me sign an NDA and show my ID. There were about 20 kids, lots of pot smoke and non-kid-friendly music. They were all pretty nice, did a few paintings and lots of pastel flower hats... Kind of bizarre.

Pretty busy week of last... Chicken at the State Capitol for a lawyer!!! I think that's a first for me and the State Capitol. A bit crazy trying to get in there... like Fort Knox.
Chicken in a Thong with a bottle of wine for a gal's husband, he seemed to be happy and touched.
A Chicken in a Thong for a guy who volunteers at Save the Horses in Cu***ng. They do great work and have lots of animals to love on besides horses. The goats were very interested in me as well as Frank the Turkey. I think he thought I was his big girlfriend. If you want to volunteer, donate or visit here's the info - https://www.facebook.com/SaveTheHorses.org/ Photos below...

Another Chicken in a Thong in Midtown, Chicken in a Tutu with balloons in Buford for a belated birthday, and an Easter Bunny at Huntcliff Club in Sandy Springs. Very sweet kids who wanted hugs and dancing with me. One little girl had a stuffed bunny that she wanted me to cuddle... adorable. Many sweet photos with families and hope they enjoyed the bunny . And then right after that when running errands, I got home and apparently got food poisoning from either TJ's or Whole Foods.... Great!
