11 Nights in the Asylum of the Haunted Firehouse
October 31, 2011
I’m still processing all that I learned over the course of 11 nights in the Asylum of the Haunted Firehouse.
The #1 thing has to be: if you act crazy long enough, you will convince yourself and others that it is the case AND it will be the case.

Halloween Clown Evolution
October 28, 2011Jusby’s Halloween plans have evolved since his 4 year affiliation with the Halloween House.
It began in 2007 with Mike’s post on Myspace asking for people to wear a scary clown costume. I decided to be a volunteer “Horror Liaison” as my regular clown self .
Danger, A Head
In 2008, I returned with a Mad Hatter (Clown Lite) variation.
I also brought my own music and flaming tea cup.
In 2009, I brought Honey the Clown and wore the referee shirt to keep warm.
Last year (2010), it went OFF THE HOOK with the introduction of the Scary Clown Look at Eastside Big Tom’s Fright Night.
So, it’s been a natural progression to accept a position at the Haunted Firehouse which is open for 3 weekends leading up to Halloween. Coincidentally, Mike closed up his yard due to the continual stream of trespassers.
2011, it’s Scary Doctor Jusby of the Youth Asylum.
In the Pink “Green Room”, taking a call from Beyond.
The Haunted Firehouse is a non-profit fundraiser for Family Support Center and the summer youth theater program Kids at Play. The Haunted Firehouse opens on October 20 and runs for a long weekend, before re-opening on October 26 and running through Halloween night. On weekdays, the Firehouse runs from 5 pm until 10 pm. On weekends, we extend the SCARE until midnight, so come prepared for late-night fear!
NOTE that after 7 pm the Haunted Firehouse is Rated PG13, and those under 13 will only be allowed accompanied by a parent or guardian!
The Haunted Firehouse costs $5 for admission. There are no advance ticket sales — each admission costs only $5! First come, first serve!
DID YOU KNOW THE FIREHOUSE IS ACTUALLY HAUNTED?
- Former firefighters who worked here reported that an old firefighter who died patrols the halls at nights (our staff know this ghost well!)
- Rumors of suicides from prisoners held in the jail downstairs.
- Rodents of unusual size once roamed downstairs in years past.
- There was a big smallpox outbreak right here downtown in this area and many people died.
- This used to be the red light district (in Olympia!!!) — the city built this building as part of their public clearing of the brothels that previously stood right near here.
- Prior to becoming the city hall/fire station this was the livery and stagecoach where people came to town and put their horses or caught the stage.
- The man that used to have a cabin here on this site, mysteriously drowned in a canoe accident on capital lake right before taking office as one of the first state legislators.

GRuB Soiree at the Schmidt
September 18, 2011The nice folks at GRuB (Garden-Raised Bounty) asked if I would support their annual auction with a donation. Since our family had been a previous recipient of their free raised bed garden, I offered up a Party Extraordinaire on the condition that I could attend the Soiree at the Schmidt with my partner, Honey.
GRuB wisely bundled our services with cupcakes from She & She Gluten Free!
It gave me the chance to rewrite the verbage about the party for Auctioneer, Joe Hyer.
“an extraordinary and unhurried visit by Jusby the Clown AND his lovely assistant, Honey, as your surprise guests performing their amusing brand of edu-tainment for you at the conclusion of which, multiple guests may get a PIE-IN-THE-FACE!
Jusby & Honey will spend 75 minutes at your event facilitating pies, transformations, & guided laughter. You get to help plan the proportion of each.
Would you prefer to laugh until you can’t stop?
Would you like each of your guests to have a painted face, a tattooed arm, or a balloon creation?
Would you choose to host the next record-breaking pie-in-the-face party?
At any rate, you are bidding on Safe, Appropriate, and Profoundly Memorable Surprises with Jusby the Clown & Comedy Consultant.”

Pie Fail
August 30, 2011How many times does this have to happen? If I’m sitting around without a gig lined up and I get the sudden urge to give away a pie-in-the-face to a former classmate who’s passing through town… Not if… WHEN that happens next, please STOP ME!
Last time I hung out a the corner of Olympia & Washington waiting for Puck.
All thanks to FACEBOOK… instead of relying on instant messages, I’ve got to pick up the phone to confirm the time and place the pieing will happen!
“Aloha, Agent Mousetrap?”
This time, I noticed that Shannon, a former classmate, was updating her status while riding a train between Portland and Seattle. At least, I thought, we would have to meet at one particular spot: the Centennial Train Station in Lacey.
However, trains don’t always run on time.
At 1PM I proposed the pie-in-the-face. She said she’d put her face up to the window. I said that she’d have to step to the open door. I checked the Amtrak website and saw that the estimated arrival was at 2:20.
However, a branch fell on the tracks and the train was stopped outside of Kelso.
At 1:52 the ETA was 3 O’clock.
At 2:17 I had done the fastest make-up job ever. And wore my new Tiger God T-shirt from Dr. Sy Bantam of the Healing Journey Radio.
At 2:30 the ETA was 3:35. I had one of Orion’s classmates over for a playdate, so I figured that I’d let them play at the house as long as possible and keep checking the ETA.
At 2:53 the ETA was 4:05 Then I lay down for a short nap.
At 3:07 @swianecki tweeted Surreal: I’m on a stalled train + old friends are plotting to pie me in the face when I pass through O-lympia! #hijackedbywoodlandcreatures
And the train started moving.
I checked and saw that the ETA was 4:45.
At 4:14 I departed for the station.
At 4:35 She wrote: I was there, camera in hand, waiting for you! The conductor even let me get off the train! Where were you?
At 4:40 I arrived at the station and greeted THE WRONG TRAIN!
“I think you wanted the 506… that was the 516. The 506 came through about 10 minutes ago.”

Lacey Spring Fun Fair 2011 [vlog]
May 21, 2011This year’s Lacey Spring Fun Fair entry by the Red Nose Brigade included: Jusby, Sprout, Bean Sprout, Lilly, Buzzy, Stormy & Bubble~Trouble.
Sprout made the front page of the Olympian!

The alley planned to recreate our award-winning parade entry, “Road Apple Pie or Pie a la Road”, but we kept tweaking it…
- We eliminated the fake apples we were dropping
- We eliminated the hobby horses we were riding
- We added horse ears and tails to our costumes
- We eliminated the wheelbarrow
- We added a riding lawnmower that towed a wagon
- We forgot the large fake pie
- We substituted a real pie
Consequently, of course, a dude got pied!
For some reason, we had trouble getting together for a group shot. This is Sprout, Jusby & Bubble~Trouble. Not Pictured: Stormy, Buzzy, Lilly, & Bean Sprout!
This is a girl I know from my day job. She admitted that she had been afraid of clowns because she was traumatized by a clown chasing her with a balloon… at the Lacey Spring Fun Fair! However, it was before I joined the RNB, so I know it wasn’t me!
Coincidentally, I knew her mother from my time as an AmeriCorps*VISTA (2001-200).

GI JOE Themed Party (~378 Total faces pied)
March 5, 2011A client recently had me come for a 6 y/o boy’s GI Joe themed birthday party.
I went with the basic black topped with Grampa Del’s garrison cap, accented with a camouflaged belt from a long gone bathrobe. For extra fancy, I added the spats that came from Puck F.
On the way, I noticed someone had pranked a car in the OHS parking lot. I left them my card in case they wanted to get even.
Afterwards, I pied a bonus face back home. AJ had been visiting and took a large pie to the face.
The videos tell about the Magic Kombucha grenade fail.

Folkshine 2
February 19, 2011Got a call one morning from author-educator Steve Eggleston. He had dreamed that he was doing another interview with me and found my number in the nightstand drawer. He called so he could make the dream come real. Technology has advanced enough in two years that he figured he could get the interview sorted in a day instead of several weeks.
He’d iphone it.
So I arranged to meet him after a mercy pieing… went to a party w/o a contract and essentially busked. Total noble cause tho: peace activist.
We met at the parking lot of the Olympian. I wore my Elvis shades. He had six questions typed on the iphone. I chose three and he took some snaps and a little video.
- Can a clown be political?
- When will we see a wikipedia entry for Jusby?
- Is there anyone you would discourage from clowning?

RCR VD
February 15, 2011Orion dressed up as a magician to accompany me to the RCR Valentine’s photo shoot.
Rusty Cock Ridge… it’s sort of a salon. It’s more than a studio and a boutique. It’s a always cozy adventure.
Jusby’s new hair by Toni of Euphorium.
New fans from Grampa Dave & Grama Julie (via Amazon) to coordinate with the red & black color scheme and keep the Indonesian bamboo fans from further injury.
