CLOWNFEST IS NOT... I REPEAT NOT CANCELLED.   It is still going on.  I just
spoke to some of them down there now and am on my way myself.  People will
need us down there too.

I'm 41 years old and I learn something new everyday. I was sitting here
feeling glum, watching the news and feeling sorry for myself because I have
planned for nearly a year to attend Clownfest this week... in New Jersey (of
course it was cancelled).  Once again Uncle Curt has made me give my head a
shake and get my brain into a better place. I'm heading off to the blood
donor clinic and I'm taking my balloons.
