What came after

There is of course life after clown school graduation.    I don't think people were prepared for everyone's family and friends to be at the graduation.  We had been living in the Circus Center for so long and were between shows so we thought it was just going to be a little ceremony with us and the teachers.  So we were half-in costume and pretty rowdy from the days show when we walked into the studio and were greeted by a sea of people.  I fared quite a bit better than Mollyball.  She showed up to the ceremony without any pants on.  

The unfortunate thing is that you cannot see all of the man-fur I was sporting.

This is the costume I had been wearing.  

Here is the rest of the class.  21 clowns now looking for work.

 

One of the great things about being in San Francisco is being in a vital city where cool stuff happens and it still be a small place.  The city is only seven miles across but has a city hall like this.  Totally OTT.  I was there for some business registration stuff that happened to be in the same office where they were preparing to give out more Same-Sex Marriage Certificates.  The workers were glowing, really exicted about being able to marry more people.  I was great to sample the energy in the room.

Then I tried to leave and confronted Darth Vader on the lawn.
