I figured mid April, the weather should start to be a bit nicer but that was not the case. I was not going to let a bit of snow stop me from giving them a great performance.<\/p>\n<p>After arriving at the venue and setting up my canvases, we went through a quick sound check and I met with a few event organizers for last minute discussions about what to expect that night.<\/p>\n<p>I was warned when I was booked that this group only enjoyed about five acts out of the last fifteen that entertained them over the years. When I heard this I was immediately up for the challenge, as I feel I have really polished my show over the last few years. I went in and gave them a solid <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timdecker.com\">speed painting<\/a> performance, kept the crowd engaged and the feedback after the show was great. Thankfully, everyone loved it!<\/p>\n<p>When I left Toronto the following morning the weather was no better. I absolutely love my job as a speed painter and touring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timdecker.com\/corporate-entertainment.html\">corporate entertainer<\/a> so I guess I can\u2019t complain about a little snow in April.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t risk booking the wrong <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timdecker.com\/corporate-entertainment.html\">corporate entertainment<\/a> at your next event. If you have a crowd that is hard to please, give me a call, I will make look like a genius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the pleasure of entertaining a great group of people in Toronto, Canada last night.
