Chicken Knitting

In December our Knitting group has started meeting again. This is Sergeant Kisielnicki working on a scarf. Sergeants Thurman and Wilson were also at our first couple knitting meeting.

It has turned out to be a fun evening. We get to have some chicken and work on our knitting. We are meeting at the Chic Fil A in the Waterfront in Homestead PA. They have been really nice to us and it has been great fun.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.

Wigs and Other Stuff - A Report by Apprentice Brimage

This is Apprentice Brimage. She took most of the pictures in this post. She did not take this picture because her arms are not that long and I have not figured out how to use the timer on the camera. She probably knows how to use the times but I did not think of that at the time. Her great uncle was Albert Einstein.


We have some wigs given to us by a couple of the clowns from the local COIA Alley. I am not sure they want to be publically linked with this crew so I will not share their names. I imagine they have carears to think about. from left to right is Sergeant Thurman, Apprentice Brimage and Sergeant Wilson. The two Brimages are related. The blue shirt are Junior Clowns the rank above Apprentice. We just figured out at the meeting the second Apprentice Brimage should have been promoted to Junior Clown six months ago.
This is the Apprentice Brimage that should have been promoted. So imagine that she has a blue shirt. She is very patient. By the way the patient is an inside joke thing.


This is me in the purple shirt saying something terribly important. You can tell it is terribly important because no one is paying attention. Cadet Miller is to the right and Sergeant Thurman is explaining something about balloons to someone off camera.


Well goodnight from the Steel City Clown Brigade. Thank you to the COAI folks and Apprentice Brimage for taking these pictures.

Advancement Pyramid

 We have lost our Advancement Pyramid from the Cult that will not be Named. So for our first advancement ceremony in exile we assembled a pyramid using books at our new home at Second Baptist. 

    We had two folks advance to Standard Clown and three up to Junior Clown. It was a bit bitter sweet but we had an excuse for some bag pipe music.

A Couple Projects

We have been working on or Trophy wall for the last few weeks. The main part of this is a large version of our logo. This is it as it was a couple weeks ago. The Idea was Sergent Kisielnicki's to make a three dimensional shield out of wood.


This is Sergeant Thurman painting the center of the Red Shield that was missing in the previous picture.

Here is Sergeant Kisielnicki after he finished the White Shield. It was really a very special project.

This is Sergeant Wilson sanding some dowel rods that will be made into Devil Sticks. Devil Sticks are a juggling implement.

These are a set of the finished Devil Sticks. We painted them in the Brigades Colors.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.
