This Way to the Egress

About Me


There are things here in the making, songs for the taking. Loading up on as much musical notation can't be bad. The fools from the illuminated hallways scream at glass mirrors and run from the light. All of the freakshows are charging a nickel for entry, a dime to leave. They tax your smiles and reward your sorrows. A few hairy gentlemen with canes tap for your attention, throwing their top hats into the foul smelling air... they come back down on the canes, twirling and whirling. They sing you a ratty old tale of whiskey nights and stolen dreams. They approach you, face to face.... shouting, "step right up and witness a world that people cringe from, a world where people like you dare not venture". He was once just an innocent thing, but through the tortures of a hideous past, he's been corrupted to loathe his very existence. Treat him as such. After you're done mocking and pointing, follow the signs down this pathway... walk into the dark, musty makeshift hallways, and know.... it is This Way to the Egress.
There will be live street performing, skeletons click-clacking, faint tamborine gypsy beats in the distance and forever sounds of high pitched laughter. Fire breathing will never be unknown to the switchblade shiny way of speaking. Colors illuminate the skies, while dwarves can be seen dancing to & fro. The circus has left oh such a long time ago, but we still remain. Lightning strikes twice here, and melodies run high. Please, come join us for some fun in the night. All are welcome. Check back for updated shows in the future.
