My trip to Connecticut was wild... Let me tell you the story of how I ended up there. One day in 2018 a senior client of mine came into my office for help. This is back when I was a Peer Specialist, she told me about a trip to Connecticut, to be in the audience of the Steve Wilko's show that her senior home put together. She stated that anyone could go because they were renting a bus and it was only $3. Chile I made sure me & a friends name was on that list and off to the Steve Wilko's audience we went. Boy did we have a great time those older people were wild!
Brockton Massachusetts was a stop that was made while I was traveling with Reithoffer Shows https://www.reithoffershows.com/. The carnival was set up on the race track. This is where I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. The father & I wanted to keep it quiet but could not because I had to buy the pregnancy test from the only store on our set, any other one would've been way too far. To make matters worse I had to take the test in a porter potty! There were no standard bathrooms on site. I only took it because my grand-mom called & said somebody was pregnant because she dreamed of fish & it was either me or a specific cousin she named. Come to find out it was lil ole me baby #2.
Reithoffer Shows stopped a lot of places on their trek from Philly to Miami. Only a few stood out for me that I have clear memories about. In Georgia I was the amazing snake lady, the head of a beautiful woman with the body of an ugly snake. It was an optical illusion, I did it for a week because the original woman was sick. I had to sit with my head through a hole in the floor, in a comfortable chair. I had a bunch of wigs, people would ask how my hair got done? I told them a stylist comes everyday to do it. It was a lot of fun and scary when people became racist & tried to spit on me or throw water on me because I was black & the original lady was white. All in all it was a great time, it was .50 to see me & I made $800 that week! Wish I had pictures of that! I never made it to Miami I had to go home to deliver my daughter her father went all the way tho. Oh yeah I almost forgot about the road trip I took with my God mother and her friends. Too much happened to talk about on that ride to Georgia & after we arrived.
Steve, Steve, Steve that must've been a lot of fun!
