It’s almost impossible not to smile as some deranged axe-murdered is swinging his weapon-of-choice into your frontal lobe.

The Greatest Show in the Mission

In case you need something to complement your regularly scheduled drug use this weekend, occasional reader Cari alerts us to the fact that there is a circus group in the Mission and they are having six shows this weekend.  If you are too busy to see the show, they also sell underwear.

Coulrophobia aka Clown Phobia


I had never really found clowns particularly scary until I saw this charmer at Carnaval this past weekend.

It might just be me, but the lilting incantations coupled with the oddly unrhymed phrases is more than a little bit creepy.

Even if JJ wasn’t frightened, I was.
