"Labor Day: The circus comes to Davis Square!"

[r-dorissa.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised no one has passed this along yet... 

I saw this in a Yahoo Group, and I think circus folk will be there even if I can't corroborate it:

Come one come all to see the first performance of the soon-to-be Internationally Famous Flaming Deathwish Itinerant Family Circus, lead by Mr. Crazy Lady and her trained fleas! Hailing from the greater Providence area (extending as far north as Baffin Island, and as far south as Easter Island, though performers are neither puffins nor catholics), Flaming Deathwish will perform a number of simultaneously death-defying and family-friendly stunts, in series and parallel. Boston is their first stop on a nationwide schoolbus tour on which they aim to inspire chaos and liberation at every possible juncture.

Flaming Deathwish will be joined by the ever expanding Fantastic Non-Stick Antiperspirant Russian Nonsemble, lead by siberian ex-patriot Fluffsky the spectacled polar bear.

The party starts Labor Day (monday, sept. 6) at 6pm in Davis Square Plaza, in front of the JP Licks. Donations are encouraged to support the circus tour, though not at all required.

I'm here right now, and there's no circus folk. I feel cheated. :(

Me too. Well, not cheated, but mildly disappointed. A JP Licks frappe helps dull the pain.

I recall chasing some similar announcement a couple of years ago and finding no circus then either.

Sorry, folks. It seemed weird enough to be true...

Can't trust circus people, I guess.

Circus moved to Tuesday -- supposedly

I got this update from the same mailing list:



Hey all, so that Fantastic Amazing Astounding Traveling circus which I announced as being on monday evening is actually on Tuesday evening.
