I was reading Byrdee's blog and saw that the Freak Show had played last night at the Painted Temple. I was obviously aghast and outraged. But when I had come up from my sorrow, I remembered that I still had never put up any pictures from last years Freak Show at Steamers. I went through them and, as a sign of my mourning, put up this set. I know I'm a little over a year late, but it's never really too late, is it? There aren't enough, of course, but what's there sure brings the memories back.



Addendum: After the bb gun battle, I got a shot of them falling, but my flash hadn't refreshed fast enough. So here's the photo extra brightened in photoshop. It's low quality, but you can see that one BB did lodge in the forehead of the guy on the left.

Please, ignore the fact that I can't spell The Schwas (I have also used shwaz, schwaz, scwoz, schwoz, and I could use many more). The fact is I LOVE them, despite the ability to configure and choose a few letters that were probably pretty much chosen randomly in the first place. Actually, this struggle has led me to wonder about the word itself. Have I been missing the idea that the name is a plural of the ambiguous sound which can be seen in dictionaries as an upside down lowercase "e". Now it makes sense! It's just a plural of that damned English phenomenon in which each and every vowel (aeiouy) can make the same sound. . I, forever, thought it was a nonesense word. It's the sound that makes up the capital in Adept, synthEsis, decImal, harmOny, mediUm, and even sYringe!
