On Diseases, Private Ears and Assorted Paraphernalia

Clowns in San Francisco!

Posted in comedy, theatre, things that happened on June 4th, 2008

This past weekend, I went out to California for some personal business- meeting my girlfriend’s family. Adventure!
While out there, I saw several awesome things. 
Firstly, I saw a performance by the graduating class of Circus Center San Francisco Clown Conservatory. It’s a one year professional clown conservatory- and the work was very impressive. My especial favorites [...]
