MeadFair


This was an odd one. The Carnival Midway was geek central:



It looked like all the money was being made by the freak-show barkers.
I figured I needed a part of the action.
By good fortune I found a dead pigeon
laid out in the parking lot.
I stuck it in a box,and put up a sign:
50 cents to see "The World's Deadest Bird".
I made $64.00

Showtime and our soundman was deep in the cups

The crowd was stuporific from the 95 degree Jersey sun

We played, as best we could, to three midway weary, immobile revelers bloated with corndogs and fried dough.
