piling into an ice cream truck with 8 musicians in clown/chicken suits and stilts. boenobo, the lead singer in the band gooferman would open the back and we’d pour out to take over a playground for some promo shots before their show at 12 galaxies that night. bystanders to our spectacle pulled hard on their dogs’ leashes and began to gather around looking suspiciously at us. “WHAT?!” i yelled laughing as i posed them on swings, poles and benches. “SOMEONE TEABAG THE CHICKEN!!” i shouted and some of them fell down laughing as they figured out who would take on this task… i took them back to love manor, where i’d set up my temporary studio. “jd, meet my friends.” i announced as i brought in the circus to entertain the owner of the mansion. clowns took to couches for some photos, then i posed them downstairs one at a time in the studio for them to make candles out of.

the night had begun as insane as it ended… a klown at a door of a warehouse party laughing knowingly about nothing in particular… gooferman played after reading their ‘proclamation’ from the mayor’s office declaring 4/1 as the official ‘gooferman day’. band members rejoiced with pumped fists in the air. several planned acts took place before everything went insane and hybrid bands formed and floors were humped by many a stripey klown… cirque berzerk, xeno, brady breathed fire… then all hell broke loose… vau de vire went wild, bands started fusing and dissipating and fusing again… drummers grabbed microphones, singers grabbed bass guitars, strange sounds and smiles instantly flickered… party-goers made odd, mobile pretzels to entertain the bands in some mad conga line. wickedly right collaborations happened....
