Circus Contraptions Hey, Its Been Good to Know Ya Fond Farewell and Deficit Reduction Extravaganza!

June 30, 2009On Saturday, July 18, Circus Contraption will raise our collective glasses one last time to toast our fans and friends for 11 years of mirth, madness, and mayhem. This party will not only feature special guest artists Orkestar Zirkonium, Caela and R.B. of the Dangerous Flares, and Gods Favorite Beefcake, but also favorite vintage performances by Circus Contraptions physical performers and a white-hot set by the incredible Circus Contraption Band. We will also have a video/photo montage of CC throughout the years, including never-before-seen footage of some of our best moments and near misses, as well as a staged reading of our treasured Banned in Lynnwood letter from the mayor of that fair city and other strange surprises. But as we have always been better at creating art than paying our bills, we are also reaching out to all of you to help us bury our debt in the smoldering embers of greasepaint and poodle fur. Throughout the evening, there will be numerous fund-raising opportunities, including a live and silent auction of Circus Contraption costumes, props, and memorabilia, plus one-of-a-kind auction packages such as Ernesto Cellinis Custom Designed, Built, and Driven Caveman Bicycle Built for Five as featured in The Grand American Dime Museum, and Scotch With Shmootzi, a private single-malt master class for 20-30 taught by the Whisky Ambassador of the Year, Highland Parks own Martin Daraz, and scored by the live musical stylings of Shmootzi the Clod. Also available will be photos with CC members; a Kiss-a-Clown Kissing Booth, and other unique ways to help ensure that Circus Contraptions exits the Big Top with a clean slateand that you never forget this amazing night. So Step Right Up and Drink It Down one final time with the Bracing Curative for the Afflictions of Our Times.
