I have coulrophobia--my mother bought me a clown doll when I was little, and I had nightmares..I ended up throwing it in the back of the closet and putting my play stove on top of it so it couldn't sneak out and get me while I was sleeping

You could say that he is a wee bit uxorious though of clowns and you would be right.  But we can forgive him for this as he has managed to bring an amazing array of over 40 local and national clowns, er.. artists together for this show in San Diego.  Some of these artists include the likes of Skip Williamson, Extremo the Clown, Pistol Pete, Mr. Screens, Delphia Art, Christina Gusek, Tracy Duncan, KMC plus many more, and John Wayne Gacy.  I’ll get to Gacy’s work later.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left;
