What better way to kick off the new semester than to tie a guy up, light him on fire and shove swords down his throat? That’s exactly what the students at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA did last Friday with me, and what a show it was!

An amazingly interactive, fun and outgoing group they are, and they turned out in droves to completely pack the venue!

Never was I short of volunteers (actually had to turn some away!) or enthusiasm, and they were kind enough to give me a standing ovation at the end of the evening.

The funniest part? Well, there were many, but the guy who threw his clothing on stage after the sword swallow takes the cake. Some things you expect. That one I didn’t.

Kudos to Juniata for putting on such a great event. Their Friday Night Live series is a smashing success – and thanks to Grace and the JAB staff for masterminding it along with Mike and Staci for overseeing it and making the entire process smooth as can be and helping me to feel exceedingly welcome.

Keep up the good work!
