Ah Venice...

Here are a few more images from this week at the VBFS. These first few are things inside the museum area. For those who don't like clowns.. tough.

Brett and the Blade Box

I shouldn't have to explain this photo...

Thrilled onlookers..

Happy razors!

In the hot seat...

And my view from the chair.

Rocky, the 5-legged dog waves goodbye to you.

Back in Action

I bet you thought this blog was over? That we had forgotten it and just was gonna let it lie dormant. Well... you were WRONG!! This week I'm out at the Venice Beach Freak Show performing with fellow weirdo Brett Loudermilk.

So here are a few photos from day one. Enjoy.

Here is Brett And Asia (AKA: Miss Electra AKA: Lady Twisto AKA: The Rubber Girl)

Me with my new look

More to come most likely.

See you down the road...

Last of the photos I am going to post. No reason to eat the horse after you have flogged it to pieces.

See you next time kids, and remember to support the alternative arts. Local and touring.

The Blow Off...

Step right up and see the wonders of the amazing Microwaved Lightbulb. You won't believe your eyes. Don't try this at home. Do it at a hotel.

Holy rusted metal Batman...

More photos with a better camera!!

Almost.. there....

This is a bit of a recap complete with photos I haven't seen before of our journey. The video I promised is forthcoming. Things got a bit hectic when I got back so...

You know.. same bat time..

CORK!!

The best thing about being on this trip was the chance to see so many professional and entertaining acts. Not just trying to be freaky but being GOOD at it. Too many performers want to be stars without learning anything about being a performer. To quote Keith Bindlestiff, "Expect your first 100 shows to suck". With that in mind, here are some people who have obviously exceeded their 100 show limit.

Bindlstiff Family Circus (Winner of the 2007 sideshow Candlelight award and all around bad-asses)
Cheeky Monkey Sideshow (A favorite this year of brilliant and talented performers)
Swami Yomahmi (Had the best end gag for a show I think I have ever seen.)
Mab, Just Mab (A new personal fave. Don't ask, just look)
Brett Loudermilk (Young and crazy. His future is bright.. unless he discovers girls soon. I have some good blackmail footage of him too.)
Dr. Wilson (Did the impossible. A cups and balls routine that didn't make me wanna hurl.)
Zamora (A sideshow staple for some time.. and I don't mean the kind you put in your forehead.)
Shocked and Amazed (Required Reading)

Thaz all for now. It was a great trip and we look forward to more of them in the future. Hopefully the sideshow gathering will have me back. I promise to bring more stuff next time.

Next week there should be some footage from the trip so stay tuned!!!

MAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Only a handful of people will get that title.... Anywho,o. as promised, photos of the trip. Let's start with our SECOND encounter with the throttle cable snapping!!

Between Memphis and Nashville, we stopped at an abandoned Texaco.


Inside we found what we can only assume was the leftovers from a redneck homeless bordello. Thus, Bordelloco was born!!


Out back, C is for Crispy. That's good enuff for me.


We found a good place to put it I think.


Moving on, we got it fixed SIX HOURS LATER!! We headed to Youngstown, OH (with only a flat tire to annoy us) and met Dr. Ray. A Crispy fan and all around cool guy. (Went to college with P&T) The next day... part of the bus caught fire. Later, my blanket and pillow was found still smoldering.

It's gone now.

Later that evening we did two shows at the Oakland with a band called "The Zou" (Pronounced: Zoo) who did their take on songs from Rocky Horror.


We finally made it to Wilkes-Barre and the sideshow gathering where it was ALL ALIVE ON THE INSIDE!! Including this two headed turtle.


There were some great performers oot and aboot. Zamora the Torture king even made time to stick it to the man.


Natasha Zarushka swallowed sword after sword culminating in her downing one made of neon.


From Austin, TX and all the way from Vegas was Jackie (Not sure on that spelling) the Human Tripod. Sweet girl. You can see her from time to time with the 999 eyes freakshow.


As I said memories that will last a lifetime... all thanx to Dr. Wilson, who did the impossible. A cups and balls I enjoyed. PENETRATE!!


As we head back to OK and then to TX, I remind you that beauty is found in every shape and size and those without intestines are people too.


Tomorrow, links a plenty!!

DEATHTRAP TOUR 2007

Well we're on the way home now. Sorry updates were not more frequent. Tomorrow there will be photos and a major update. In short, the Sideshow Gathering was a phenomenal time that defies words. Amazing performances, great people, and memories I will keep thanx to Dr. Wilson's Elixir.

Stay tuned!!

What's long in the middle and round on both ends?

So the three shows we did in Youngstown, OH went well. We performed at
the local college at noon then off to the Oakland theater to do two
shows with a band called TheZou. The did a set in drag covering songs from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. How neet is that?

We
have had a very generous host here named Dr. Ray. Good guy and
entertainer friendly. Him and his wife gave me a new pillow as mytye dye blanket and pillow I brought caught fire. (Don't ask. I'll give you a full rundown of the problems when the tour is over.)

Now we are off to our Final Destination... Hmm
I dunno if I like the term "Final" the way things have been going...
ANYWAY, The Sideshow Gathering will be a blast.
Inks and freaks.. what more do you want.. hell what more do you need?

Will update again when I can... hopefully with more photos.
