CATCH RENÉE SEDLIAR IN POISON CIRCUS. BUY TICKETS!
Say you’re surprised. My days as a neighborhood-watch “suspect character” have now evolved to “known lurker.” After attempting to recruit circus friends and friends of circus friends and feeling the sting of rejection, I put on my top hat, holey socks and stepped into the shadows. It all started with a quick inhale of dark arts by WitchTech. Then a late arrival to Circus Addiction at the Circus Center. I showed up at intermission and got in for free, a wangle. I crept up the steps and stood on the back of the bleachers. Silhouettes of all the circus big wigs were highlighted by the floor lights. Someone pushed an ice cream cart across the stage. I spotted a clown. Bingo! After the show I went to find her. But failed to dodge the doorman and got roped into buying a ticket, but only half price (unwangled). Now the clown was gone, and alI I had was a name on a program. Online lurking began. In short, I tracked a clown, with no social media presence or website, back to a place of business; guessed her email address and... trumpets, a reply. Renée Sedliar joined POISON CIRCUS. Lurking and labor win.
