The week of September 16-20, 2009, Mike attended the Clownfest convention in Seaside Heights, NJ. Mike was featured in a video loop that showed him juggling outside the convention registration. He attended lectures on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and participated in the clown events on the boardwalk on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, Sir Toony visited the arcades on the boardwalk, spent an hour making balloons, and marched in Pricilla Mooseburger's Kazoo Band. He won an MP3 player for his participation. On Sunday, Sir Toony marched in the clown parade.
