I want to let you all know about my newest endeavor into The strange and unusual!! You may have read some of my post about just how far I will go to find a freak..., well, now you can see all those freaks--inside The Venice Beach Freakshow!! at "The Coney Island of the Pacific"..., the starting point of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow and the homebase to some of the greatest freaks in history, including [b\]Jim Morrison of The Doors[/b].  (Not to mention Janes Addiction!!) There hasn't been a sideshow in Venice for almost 100 years..., until now! We're located at 909 Ocean Front Walk on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Come join us for a memory of a lifetime!!! We open this Saturday and will be open daily from 11-7. Get your freak on!!!
All performers who would like to perform on the bally stage should PM me.
Come one..., come all..., to the greatest freak show on the Pacific!!!

Is this a permanant installation, or a limited run show?
It's going to be a while before I can come out to Cali...

It's a permanent show in a building..., not on the street. Spread the word to all the freaks!!!

I think I'm getting my talkin' skills down..., we packed them in today. We actually had lines running down the boardwalk a few times today, and we got our first puker. she said she partied too much last night, but I think the 2 headed 5 legged pig in the jar helped a little bit!

I'm getting my 2 headed Black Angus tomorrow!!!! I'm rollin' in the 2 headed cow dept. right now! When am I going to see someone from this site down here? I've had folks from Russia to Borneo...but no Magic Café folks....Believe it OR not! Am I the only freak animal nut case on here?

We had Leonardo DiCaprio come through the Venice Beach Freakshow. He brought his lovely girlfriend with him. (I heard she's a famous model..., oooooh). I thought he was going to wreck his bike trying to stop so fast!! This guy loves the Freakshow/sideshow. Supposedly, his father had something to do with printing an old set of Freak collector cards. Andy Dick also came through..., Leonardo was just with his girl..., Andy Dick had an entourage with him--film crew and everything!!! Funny stuff. We're starting a wall of Famous Folks who visited the Freakshow. I hope we can add some magicians soon.

Mr. Dick was pretty cool.....he was super drunk at 2 in the afternoon. I thought he might hurl when he saw the 2 headed pig......(that pig has a special ability to turn some people's stomach). Wouldn't that have been fun!! Andy Dick hurling tofu all over Venice Beach. That would have been a sick photo for the wall of fame
Wow! No matter how hard I try to keep folks from taking photos, they still pull it off!!!

Thanks Brett!! I'm bringing in the giant rat again this weekend. Did you see these other photos?
http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&q=venice+beach+freakshow&m=text
I also just found Siamese rats conjoined at the head. The guy didn't preserve them well, so I'm having the skeletons articulated. The Venice Beach Freakshow just gets crazier and crazier!!! Come down folks..., anyone from the Magic Café is considered family at the Freakshow.

Hey Folks....Come see Lil' Miss Firefly..., the smallest woman in the world..., only 27 inches tall...,
see her at The Venice Beach Freakshow starting tomorrow April 5th until April 9th.
Wow!!! We had a huge day at the Freakshow!! Lil Miss Firefly helped bring them in all day..., if you're in the Venice, Ca. area, come meet her. "She's so small, you'll want to put her in the palm of your hand."

Hey Everybody!! I've been busy buying more freak animals.... Next week, you can come down to see the new additions!! We've added the giant rat as a permanent attraction and it's freaking out the locals!! It's not only bigger than a cat, it's bigger than most dogs!! Next week you can see the new cyclops pig, and the pig with 2 mouths (sick looking!).... You've got to see the pig whose brain grew on the outside of it's head, and it's friend whose heart is growing on the ouotside of it's body!!! For the rock-n-roll fans here, we had Brandon Boyd of the band Incubus come through the Freakshow!! He described it as a "Beautiful thing for Venice!!!" ...another satisfied customer....
Hey everybody, Danielle De Meux of the Bros. Grimm Sideshow came through the Freakshow today!! That woman is Bad to the bone!! She loved it, and is going to come down and perform at The Venice Beach Freakshow soon!! She even offered to bring down her Tesla coil, and her Spidora illusion!!! It's getting crazy in Venice folks... you've got to see what's behind those curtains...[b]look..., right there..., you can see a little under the curtain..., or you can pay $3.00 to see it all!!! There's over 60 strange creatures, oddities, and attractions!! We've even got the largest collection of two headed animals in the WORLD!!! By the way, Lil' Miss Firefly "the smallest woman in the world" will be back in the Freakshow this Thurs. through Sunday. She stands only 27 inches small.... She'll also be dancing on glass, and eating fire this Saturday night (MAY 5TH) with the Super Freaks Sideshow and Revue in North Hollywood. http://www.sideshowworld.com/Gig-CIA-05-05-2007.html There's a freak revolution going on..., if you're in the Los Angeles area, join us!!!

Whoa!!! I got the conjoined rats' skeleton today..., they're conjoined at the head and have two complete separate bodies!! Scary looking!!!
Whoa!!!Posted: May 7, 2007 3:17am
-------------------------------
[b]Folks..., when I say there's over 60 strange creatures in there, I don't just mean Strange..., I mean stranger than strange.... It's stranger than fiction folks, but it's all real..., and you can go inside for only 3 one dollar bills. Ya'll have got to see the new pig I just purchased..., it has 8 legs..., 4 ears..., 2 tails..., but only 1 head..., that's a new one for the Freakshow..., and it's only getting better.

Has everyone heard about the 6 legged calf that was born in Nebraska?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070504/odd-six-legged-calf
I spoke to the owner and found out that it not only has 6 legs, it has 2 male organs and a female organ. It only urinates through the female side (in case you wanted to know). Any interested parties can purchase this lovely animal for $5,000 (which includes the calf's mother for feeding purposes). Rumor has it that a major museum/amusement company would prefer to have it killed so they can stuff it $#$%%@..., believe it or don't..., of course, anybody knows that it's worth more money alive!!!

I'll graze him for you, got the stock barn and 200 acres... but I get to keep the gate...
(Does that make me the gatekeeper?)
It'll sure be easier than feeding a two mouthed, 3 eye pig!

This place sounds awesome T-Ray! I watched the bally on You-tube. Classic. The "stolen pictures" were cool too. Those reminded me of a swamp ape up in North Carolina that I saw once..
3 dollars is a steal! You should charge 5. I'm sure your rent isn't cheap on the beach!

...maybe there really is a chupacabra? You've got to see the remains of the animal we have in the Freakshow!!!It is very similar to the descriptions of el chupacabra!!! If you're a scientist/vet/Freakologist, come through, and examine it.... You won't believe your eyes!!!

We have officially started our Summer season at The Freakshow!!! This weekend was huge!!! We even had the 3 conjoined turtles inside and they're alive!!!

Tyler Fyre came through on Monday on his way to Vegas..., but, we were closed due to my talkbox refusing to work!!! I might have to finally make that grind tape..... Anyone have experience making them?

Spend the 75 bucks and buy an hour of time at a recording studio.
The engineer will make sure all your sound levels are right.
Any background music you want to include will be at the right level.
There won't be any distracting pops or buzzes.(A bad recording can really work against you.Literally drives people away from the unpleasant noise.)
Use pro recording equipment to cut your grind tape.
You'll get a disc with a clear strong signal so you won't have to turn your PA
all the way up just to be heard.
Good sound can double your gross.
Bad sound can halve it.
If I had to live my life over, I'd live over a saloon. ( W. C. Fields)

Thanks Pete! I've got the recording part down......I was wondering more about the way I should line up the descriptions, etc. In Venice, the people are used to being pitched all day by 50 performers, so they walk by FAST. That's why I've just been grinding it out. It allows me to work the crowd on the fly. How can I get that kind of impact on the recording? Do you use a grind tape?
