Happy Jerk-Off Clown

I don’t own this clown, but I saw it at a “Bawdy Music Concert” in Takoma Park on Saturday night, May 29, 2010.  It was one of the decorations in the restroom.

The performance featured the musical talents of Regina Dentata,  Lucy Snatch, Connie Lingus, Olivia Kumtwat, and Long John Skivee.  They claimed that the concert was to raise funds for the establishment of the Prostitutes, Entertainers, and Navigators Institute of Salvation (P.E.N.I.S. for short), but in reality the concert was a fund-raiser for Jennifer Cutting’s Ocean Orchestra’s next album project, “Song of Solstice.”

The concert was an excellent opportunity to get one’s inner raunchiness out in one fell swoop.  We sang along to such classics, as “Friggin’ in the Riggin’,” “Blow the Man Down,” “Barnacle Bill the Sailor,” and more.  Even Joe Hickerson got up and sang a couple of numbers, the second of which had everyone participating, when they weren’t laughing.

Even the refreshments were naughty.  To see what I mean, check out the photos on my Flickr site:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/tackyjulie/sets/72157624049435101/
