Tue, 27 Jun 2006 00:20:05 +0000 http://nocategories.net/ephemera/the-carnival-show/#comment-10535 [...] There’s progress to report about my ongoing writing project. I’m writing a spoken word routine about The Outside Talker who performs to announce the carnivals or freak shows, etc. I got stuck wondering about which image to choose. I imagine its as though I’m strolling through the midway, between the tents, beside the boxcars, with a camera. I can only take one photograph. I only desire a single image, before I can write. There are the snake charmers, sword swallowers, bearded ladies, siamese twins, etc. None of those would do, so I hit the books. (well, okay, I didn’t actually hit very many books, but I did quite a bit of reading online) [...] [...] There’s progress to report about my ongoing writing project.

I was enticed by the sample recordings on the website, about Eekah the Geek, and about Nature’s Greatest Mistakes. It is called “Bally, Sounds of the Sideshow“, and the CD even has a flavorful pitch for itself. Hear the pitches as throngs of happy people heard them on the carnival lot!Hear the screams and rumbles from the clattering rides in the background!Hear the growls and the rattling cage of “Eeka” the Geek as she waits to be fed!You can almost smell the cotton candy and the hotdogs… you can certainly smell the carnys… as these sounds pierce the darkness of the carnival lot outside of town!

Your post reminds me a bit of that book. I applaud your efforts to do something lyrical with the object inside the tent. You’ve probably read Geek Love by Katherine Dunn.
