Thailand: Kate monkey

I found that all of the monkeys that I met had very strong personalities. Now, I hope that no one could possibly be offended by some monkey humor, but I am sure some funny monkey will be. This is Kate, she likes bananas and goes topless.

More Radost fashion

This was just another night at Radost in the 90s. I was the house photographer for Radost in the early 90s. This looks looks like a fashion show. They had a lot of those. I forgot which one this is. I am going to have to ask the owners Richard and Bethea.

The Forman Brothers

Petr and Matěj Forman twin sons of the famous Czech movie director Milos Forman are the masters of Czech puppet theatre. For me they are. They formed their theatre company, The Forman Brothers Theatre. I went to see their comic puppet performance called “The Farmer, the Devil and the Crone”. I loved it and went to it several times. I finally took this photo after one of the shows. They have performed all over Europe and now they perform on their own boat in Prague. They still wander performing through Europe and when it is warm they do nightly moving performances on their boat theatre.

Richard Zoli

This was not another night at Radost. This is Richard Zoli the owner of Radost along with his wife Bethea. Richard has been responsible for creating the scene at Radost inviting internationally respected DJs to perform at Radost. I remember Richard would enjoy DJing himself sometimes.
