    1980 surprise entrainment at Rick's

    We walked up to Rick's for drinks and watch the sun go down and was surprised to see a Juggle entertaining the crowd on the wall.
    He did all the tricks with balls and flaming sticks, everyone was enjoying it.
    He was from Miami and just traveling around and working for tips.
    We went back to Rick's the next night with my camera hopping the Juggle was still preforming.
    Back then you really did not know who or what might be happening at Rick's day or night but it was always great.









    You can see the top hat turn up for people to put tips in, this is what started the problem.
    He was there a few more night until 2 guys with the red strip down the leg of their pants came and ask him for his working permit.
    He did not have a permit and they took him and his tips to jail.
    I saw him a few days later with his arms hanging out the jail window with a red stripe some one gave him, he was asking passer bye for some help too get him out.
    He was in a couple of more day until the had what he need for the fine and they let him out.
    He was back to Rick's not to juggel but to say thinks.
    Just one more great memory on Memory Lane.

    It's a shame that a guy trying to earn an honest living ends up in jail
