Simple Fool Graduates
July 16, 2009Prior to the last meeting of the Simple Fool Silly School of Top Secret esoteric clowning with Dawn Stratton.
Johannes and Dawn.
Dawn explains the threshold between the stage and the audience. In this case the threshold takes the form of a climbing rope.
During my graduation improv I was handed this box of a dozen red noses to hatch baby clowns. At the conclusion of the improv I left the room via the 2nd story window, dropping to the flowers below.

Circus Party 2
June 27, 2009Actually, the first one was more of a Cirque/ Caberet/ Salon, and this one was more of a Carnival/ Midway/ Sideshow…
but I was so happy to get a 2 hour Premium Visit booked that I called Honey the Clown to be my assistant and photographer.
My first face! He got the full length spiel. We had a water fight toward the end of the party. Him with a water pistol vs. me with squishy-fishes!
Cindy seemed a bit overwhelmed.
Birthday girl watches on while Makenzie takes a pie.
Hi, Jack!
Kylie and…
Chloe.
Sammy hung around ALOT. She retrieved balloons and kept saying that I was So Funny! I kept saying,
“I’ve worked hard to become so.”
So she got a nose… and paper towels instead of a specially custom JUSBY PIED terry cloth model.
Then… I brought out the new dispenser… and it FAILED again! Gas hissed out the side and, when dispensed, shot everywhere. So I just splattered around toward adults. We gave it to the birthday girl, and she wouldn’t put it in dad’s face. Good girl!
[at home I found the O-ring on the drying rack! Well, it's clean for tomorrow! LMAO What a Life!]
Honey enjoyed the trampoline.
Then the water-balloons came out and I actually used the bucket of water… AS WATER. Then the confetti!
The Deck of the porch provided a marvelous stage! I used the left, and Honey painted faces and bejeweled on the right.
In addition to the pie-ings, they had a giant back yard filled with activities including TWO pools and a Trampoline. All around the perimeter were activities like Pop the Balloon with a Dart, Cardboard Bumper Cars, Ring Toss, Western Dress-Up Photo, a Hamburger/ Hot Dog Stand with Cotton Candy, Popcorn, Etc. Etc. Etc.!
Kids came up and started giving me tickets to ride the stilts!
I gave a few rides out and harassed a teenager who had one of two earbuds in his ears. I asked what he was listening to and HE DIDN’T KNOW! Later I caught him about to text. I told him no texting!
I got the show started by pouring out the five or six little white plastic bottles in to the bucket so the fish could drink. I ended with the not-so-little brown plastic jug. “They drink like fish”, followed by “Little brown jug how I love thee!” And of course a fish squirted me. I made sure they were full at home.
And I kept repeating that I might need it during the juggling fire part. [which I never did]
I did juggle the sports balls and went through the whole routine including “They should call it the Super Hoop, or the World Court, but I guess that one’s taken”. Which wound up with Cup, Bowl, Plate/ What’s for dinner? Fish! and a squirting fish!
All concluded ahead of schedule and under budget! Go team JUSB-HONEY!

Capital City Pride Parade 09
June 21, 2009I just got back from a wonderfully P event (that stands for Pretty). I got to stretch my character and apparel to fit in. I bought three more bandannas to have a Rainbow Colored Bandanna Boa. I also branded my old Construction Helmet with a black and red Sharpie.
One problem I ran into was ruining a shirt when I was putting on nail polish.
I started marching with the Unitarian Universalists. I suggested they have a cheer of “We love You (pointing)… You (pointing)” but they weren’t that into it.
Then Honey arrived and we marched together. I gave out my card and told folks to send me their pics.
(c)Steve Bloom, the Olympian
Afterward, at Sylvester park, Honey marched right over to a group of Buxbaum supporters. She told them she was glad they were there because Kingsbury had his signs all over the place. I arrived from the other side and called to her to get a picture with me and Kingsbury having a burger.
Then Honey got in the shot with Hedwig, and she expressed her wish that Olympia could be developed without money coming from California.
Finally, I ran into Onyx.
She’s thinking over the offer of pie, I guess.

Circus themed birthday
June 8, 2009I did my first double pieing the other night.
It was at the birthday of a twin, a gemini, but I didn’t pie her and her twin brother. I pied two girls who are dating, and they are both named Erin.
Mauren and her twin brother turned 33 (another symmetrical synchronicity!), and she decided to announce her party on #fcbk. Since she didn’t have a computer with internet at her house, creating the invitation fell to me. Since she had decided on a Circus theme I felt morally obligated to make the scene.
I convinced Heather “Honey” Duke to accompany me and assist with principal photography. heh.
Honey applies the bindi jewel to Maureen’s 3rd eye.
The birthday girl now sees all, and tells nothing. We gotta get her a red nose and clown character though, so she can start participating in the RNB alley events.
“Blaireau” did a great set with a street organ. He’s an actual French “organ grinder”.
This fellow wanted eyes like Siouxsie Sue. Sarah got a white dragon across the nose. How could I have forgotten to take a picture of the Temple kid who got a blue dragon?!
Glen had some great “chicken scratches” from prison.
The King of Olympia (in yellow pants) tried to pie me at one point, but I fended him off with my superior Clown Fu.
The two Erins. My first time doing a double shot.
Bil Fleming finally got his pie… a year in the making.
Before it got dark I got to show off my fan flipping to a beautifully costumed Dutch-Indo family. Who, of course, I didn’t get any pictures of… nor the other clowns! nor the half dozen weiner dogs in cute costumes! Oh, I was preoccupied. With pie-ing! Here’s ANOTHER double shot! Two men, one young and one not.
Tim “Big Mouth” the Ringmaster waited until sunset until he felt ready. Then the Little Prince seemed to want to get it too.
My second double shot EVER. Appropriate for the birthday party of a Gemini Twin.
Then the King set up a video projector and we watched UHF and Shakes the Clown projected on the side of Maureen’s house. Until the cops came.
Here was the epic fail of the night. After a flurry of twittering about inaugurating the new Organic pie-in-the-faces with a red 1/2 pint whipped cream dispenser delivered fast and cheap from e-bay…. it didn’t work.
The busted rubber gasket in my brand new whipped cream dispenser from e-bay. I wasted the first two NO2 cartridges before I realized it wasn’t keeping a seal. Sprayed Horizon Organic Heavy Cream and Agave syrup all over the dining room and Trish’s homework! The seller said “I don’t have spare parts. Call the company!”
The company website lists a spare gasket for $3, but they’re asking for $7 in shipping and handling. That would bring the total up where it would’ve been if I had bought the thing from Fred Meyer or the mall, but they didn’t have RED.
I’m checking locally with Espresso Parts to see if their gaskets are compatible. And I’m geeked to collaborate with them on a Barista Clown idea.
Absconded with Chuck’s hat at the end of the night. I’m keeping it hostage until my missing lucky spatula is found.
