ran into one of the coolest old clowns in town

I always want to call Extreamo "the Godfather of Portland Clownarchy" but that may be just so the title exists by the time I'm an old clown who no longer wants for money and just likes living with puppets.
I remember seeing him and his fantastic art cars at gigs in the late 90s.I remember him telling me,"Y'know you may enjoy this clowning more if you stopped being so drunk all the time."
I ignored that suggestion or another 7 years.
Look at the sculptures that just pour out of this man and onto his car!
That clown should be locked up!
