Just saw the Puke and Snot show today at the renaissance festival and I have to say it was a great show, but it wasn’t quite the same. John Gamoke does a great job in the new role of Thomas Snot Jr. and Mark Sieve is amazing as usual.

There has been a memorial fund setup in Joe’s honor and you can get more information on Puke and Snot’s website: http://www.magaga.com/

I first saw Puke & Snot 1990 in Minnesota – Shakopee precisely. I had never been to a renaissance festival and this was the event my girlfriends in Sioux Falls SD chose prior to the Bronco versus Vikings game! What a great experience I had @ Puke & Snot venue! When a nearby audience member informed me they were both school Teachers, I became more impressed! When Puke & Snit appeared at my home state CO renaissance festival, I had to get my hat autographed by them both! I still wear that hat every summer!
