The Pocket Clowns

Back when I worked at the OC Weekly we’d do a joke issue on April Fools. One year we put a fake band, The Pocket Clowns, on the cover. I wrote a follow up piece the next year. This is that story. Some of the humor is local and time-specific but some of it holds, I think:

    I had a one-nighter with Ginger L. Gladness back on '02. She was still very obsessive-compulsive. I won't go into details. I hear she's now working at a small music store in Medford, Oregon and teaches yoga at the Rogue Community College.


    Bless her heart.

    I used to have a subscription to OCD Weekly. Oh. Different mag.


    It does indeed hold up. Excellent.

    I lost a year of my life following "The Pocket Clowns" from gig to gig. Selling macrame hats out of my van to support myself to the other "Clownies" as we called ourselves. Ah good times, good times.
