Monkeys and magic
I know you can't resist reading a blog post with a headline like that!
Two colleagues and I accompanied members of the York Daily Record/Sunday News's Teen Takeover staff to a York Revolution baseball game Monday night.
It was a monkey magic Monday at Sovereign Bank Stadium and I took full advantage!
In the first photo, you'll see me peeking behind the back of magician/illusionist Eli Georgaras to see if I can spot any secret moves as he performed a card trick. (I couldn't -- he was pretty swift.)
In the second photo, you'll see Django, a 17-year-old capuchin monkey, perched on my shoulder.
Django and I go way back.
I wrote a story on him maybe 10 years ago when I first started working as a journalist and had to cover the Shippensburg Corn Festival. Django and his owner, Jerry Brown, were there. He still gives the best monkey kisses (not that I've been kissed by many monkeys, but still...)
Anyway, those were the highlights of my evening at the ballpark... hanging out with a bunch of cool teens, a monkey and a magician. Does it get any better than that?
