May 10th, 2007 Dear Mr. Haines: The show that you presented to our Deer Park High School students today was outstanding. We have done many presentations here, but you are one of few that held the students interest the entire time, and included the crowd in a very positive manner. You have a great talent and please keep entertaining our young people. They need your positive influence and talent in their lives! - Linda Davis, Student Advisor, Deer Park High School (Contact number available upon request) |

July 19th 2007 Dear Eric: Thank you for very much for putting on such a great performance! It was a perfect kick-off to our 2007 Kids SummerStage series. Both of the times you’ve performed here in Auburn, I receive instant feedback from people literally gushing about how much fun your show is and how good a performer you are. Before we booked you the first time I asked for insight from colleagues from around the Puget Sound region and they all replied with same enthusiasm. And I agree! Yours is a very clever show with some very fresh material that keeps the kids giggling and the adults laughing throughout. I highly recommend your show to any other who is looking to book you as a part of their event. Thank you, Laurie Rose, Cultural Arts Manager, City of Auburn (Contact number available upon request) |

Technical requirements:
My show is self-contained.
All that I require is a stage area of no less than 12x12 feet, access to one electrical outlet and access to adults as volunteers in the show. (For help with the unicycle routine.)
I have my own PA, Sound and Lighting system that requires about 1 hour of set-up and 1/2 hour of tear-down time
However: If you have an on-site PA system, for example in a theater, I only need a single XLR input (that’s just a normal microphone input.)
If the show is in a theater with a sound technician, I’ll need 3 XLR inputs and 2 D.I’s for banjo and guitar. Have the sound technician contact me directly to discuss details of the engagement.
Please contact me with any technical questions you may have. |

April 10th, 2007 Grays Harbor County Public Health and Social Services Department Dear Eric, Thank you so much for acting as our Keynote Speaker for our fourth annual Transition Conference held on Thursday, March 29, 2007 at Grays Harbor College Aberdeen, Washington. The Transition students & staff plus the members of the Transition Council enjoyed your presentation very much. When I saw the students almost falling off their chairs with laughter I knew that you were a hit. The students and the teachers raved about your show for days after the conference! Your act was very appropriate for the students and the way you gave them encouragement as you did in your act was fitting. We look forward to seeing you again! Thank you! Sincerely, Patti Lignoski, DD Program Specialist, Grays Harbor County Public Health and Social Services Department & Representative of Grays Harbor Transition Council (Contact number available upon request)
