9/2/2005 - Ready for the weekend...

Maybe we'll have some fun this weekend... going to the Great Allentown Fair for rides, fried nonsense, sugar free creme soda and a visit to the World of Wonders Sideshow. This man...

...is Ward Hall. He's in his 70's,  has been a carny since running away to join a circus at 15, and runs the World of Wonders, America's last touring sideshow. He is one of my sources of inspiration in this crazy world, and  I have high hopes of meeting him this weekend. I have prepared a little package introducing my sideshow haunt ideas to him, and have printed out a few pictures I hope to get him to autograph. IF he'll see me, of course.

Enjoy the holiday, everyone!
