The standard DEAL IS...


Dingo Dizmal and The Star E Rose are happy to welcome the people of Portland to come have a drink and
share your wondrous artistic expression in our Open Mic show.
The standard DEAL IS:...
performers sign up at 7pm we start at 7:30pm, and we'll go until someone
tells us to shut up. Every slot gets 3 songs or 10 ...minutes (whatever
comes first). Bring the least complicated set up as possible because it
eats up a lot of time. NO PRESSURE, NO PRESSURE, NO PRESSURE, NO
PRESSURE!
This is not a contest, people are nice and the host is on your
side!
Let Dingo know what your needs are (fastclown@veryfast.biz).
Along with the
singer/songwriters, dance numbers, comedians, and exotic instruments, Dingo Dizmal and me, Olive Rootbeer will be peppering the
evening with sideshow clowning, burlesque and regular visits from talented friends from Portland's night life!!!

Oh... If you care deeply about your act then Make sure to bring your "A" game 'cause you never know what
stage will come after this stage and there's no tellin' who's going to
be in the audience. No pressure of course.

All ages welcome but criteria may not be censored.
Opening night we will have a performance by Yesterday's Train wreck. They are a mix of insanely difficult circus tricks and fun upbeat music. Come see them Thursday with me!

Happy Trails!

bankroll the new show!


I need strings (for 5 guitars and a banjo) 2 mic cables and a bunch of plungers (for the act)+ a bunch of other flotsom for my show. Can anyone out there not live without the "Paige of Birds" (acrylic on 30"x40" canvas) painting? message me an offer i need some clown supplies.
I had it in my head to paint the Tarot in Rubber Chicken Theme. After this I decided I wasn't smart enough yet to come up with 82 chicken jokes and not rich enough to bankroll 82 canvas.
I did this one with all new materials one day in the back yard of the Clown House circa 2007.
It's one of around 150 rubber chicken themed paintings i have been doing since 2006. This is the second biggest in the collection. This painting has hung in a LOT of places around Portland over the years. I just got it back last month from where it was prominently hanging in the Cannabis Cafe. I bet a lot of people (card holders) have photos of themselves legally smoking a bong in an American cafe with that painting in the background.
I originally posted the price at $500 but that included sex with the artist... now I would expect $200, be happy with $150, be OK with $100, kinda cool with$75, I'll take $50 but feel hosed because that won't cover cables and strings...ya bastid!
put the screws to the clown when he is down huh? Well I'm not down fer long Bucko!
:) ya have to buy the painting for me to tell you what it's divine interpretation is.
Word to ya mutha.

In Sandy OR yesterday

I saw one of those huge obnoxious pick up trucks that you see little men in all the time. This one wasn't at all stupid looking for one reason...It was actually bearing CARGO! I was so happy to see that it also showed signs of being used for what it is...farm equipment...not a penis extension like my huge bike is.


I hope not to offend said men...I only call them little because the bigger the truck the smaller the dude looks. The truck I mention above gets extra points because not only was it loaded, filthy, towing a full sized thresher and the crew cab full of men...there was a hound dog in the bed hiding from the drizzle. sigh

We need some donations of mountain bikes (24")to make battle bikes out of. We have the tools and know how; now we just need some bikes. Two will have cow catchers and battle gear to be used like dueling pistolas.

I love Portland free boxes. So much of the coolest stuff I ever brought home came from random boxes of stuff people put out. Today I found t...
