This time nine years ago, I was working in a mascot suit. Couple of things it taught me… 1- The importance of non-verbal communication. The mascots aren’t usually allowed to talk, so sign language, body language all became incredibly important. 2- You never know who is behind the mask. Be kind and generous, it costs nothing. 3- Take breaks. Twenty minutes in a stuffy mascot suit is a very, very long time. 4- Seize the moment. Barry Hall did not object when me/the Moo Cow bowled up to him, because who says no to a mascot?(Though I did wait until he was off camera). Mick Sanders - thanks for my first job too!
