THE INTERNATIONAL CLOWN HALL OF FAME: Mark Anthony

And now, some of the items from the International Clown Hall of Fame's Mark Anthony collection...



Felix Adler's pet pig, Amelia.

Note that Amelia is not depicted smoking a cigarette. That is an unfortunate trick of the light on the glass of the display case.

A very lifelike skunk

A similarly realistic rabbit

Mark's trunk

And Mark. That's right, this is the urn containing Mark's ashes.

Mark "Mark Anthony" Galkowski's earthly remains are a permanent part of Hall of Fame's collection.

I would like to create a more reverential display setting for when the ICHOF moves to their permanent home.

In other news...

Drew "Drew the Dramatic Fool" Richardson visited the ICHOF yesterday and got the Cashin-guided tour of the collection and a chance to look through some of the files with me. We found some very interesting old press shots of Joe Jackson Jr.

The visit was cut short when we recieved word that a tornado had touched down nearby and was headed for downtown Milwaukee. We did what any sensible person would do; we got in our cars and drove away.

I have lived the first 40 years of my life without ever dealing with tornadoes even once. Now I've had two near misses in the last three months! of Summer Circus

The Taste of Summer Circus had the usual light audience for the first show but the biggest audience so far for the second show, which went very well. We are hoping that the families come out in full force for our three shows today.

After the show the cast visited a local German restaurant and a great time (and much shnitzle) was had by one and all!
