I had a dream last night that I wanted to run away from home and joined the circus as a freak showperformer. I thought I would quit this gig, get into the entertainment business, and pursue my dream. I had it all planned out: my bags packed, my bills all paid off, and I said my last goodbyes. Then, I woke up in a sweat, when Irememberedthis video of The Freak Show Deluxe.
As you can see, I am wide-awake and here sitting at my desk. I think I’ll leave the sword-swallowing and bed of nails to the professionals. Though, you can join me at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the West Side Stage to see the real thing.
If I were a poet, would you ever know it?
I think about the many blogs I may write,
But they drink blood, and oh do they bite.
So come see the League of the Vampiric Bards,
And you’ll get quite a fright!
I promise - this group of pale-skinned, cloak-wearing, charming vampires are A LOT more talented than I am.
The League of Vampiric Bards are a group of poets who will bring comedic performances and parodies to the Swap Meet on the 26th based on Vampire themes and the spirit of Trick or Treating. They will be performing at 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. at the Westside Stage.
