God I Love Carny's
One thing that always makes me a little sad about this blog is that I don't think there are any Carny's who read it. I don't know if it's supposed to be Carny or Carnie, but hey, it's the people that party their guts out as they travel from county to county setting up rides which may, or may not make it through the night. While they are at it, they fight, drink, hit on people and collect all the change that falls out of our pockets when we ride said rides.
I would love to spend a season with them. Apparently Jessica Simpson feels the same way I do. Oh yes, the woman who used to headline arenas is now on the county fair circuit this summer. Notice, it isn't the state fair circuit. No, it's the county fair circuit.
The first I saw of this was when someone sent me the information on the Monterey County Fair. Jessica Simpson is headlining one night and plenty of tickets are still available. In fact, they could end up giving them away from free. Not that they cost more than $5 anyway and that includes admission to the fair. Who else is headlining the Monterey County Fair this year?
Glad you asked. Steve Holy is there on Senior Night and then there is Tower Of Power one night. Most of the other nights haven't been filled yet. Apparently the $1000 guarantee doesn't attract the quality it used to.
One very sad note to this otherwise gleeful story is that Loverboy is the headliner on Friday night of the fair. That one hurts, but to see Jessica play in front of no one even though they only have to pay $3 might even it out.
