i don’t mean this in a condescending way. my friend and i like to draw and share ideas with each other, she currently is drawing a clown and then we kind of stumbled into the topic. so i’m curious now, for anyone who has pursued the clown career, why? where did your inspiration come from and when did it start? are there any misconceptions about clown school, the career or the people that pursue it?
I'll post the video of me on stage here shortly
Imagine they you are the type of person who occasionally gets talked into going to the corn maze. You're walking along dreading the chainsaw guy you hear in the distance when you start to hear weird music.
Voices talking about leisure time and lsd float over a strange, evolving beat and a wash of synth textures, a somewhat hypnotic experience and then
ZANG
Out of nowhere, there's a 6'3" dayglo banshee in your face where there was previously nothing. I can briefly suspend my "people" energy and go into a kind of stealth mode, which makes me a perfect operative for a corn maze.
Who has been to one of these places? What was the context? I had been to this maze as a customer once, in 2010 or so. I auditioned in 2017, i think, possibly 2018, with someone i used to know.
We worked the place together until the beginning of the 2024 season, when he just kind of faded away. I mean, he's still around, he just stopped coming and didn't offer any explanation.
So I'm a lone wolf, now, and they let me find my own spot and bring my own music because i am Klepto. I will scare the shit out of you (on a good night).
