A smackdown between mimes and clowns took place Friday at Dirty Marina 16th and Valencia at 10pm. It was reported that a clown picked a fight with a mime in front of Kilowatt by smashing a pie in his face. Later the mimes and clowns duked it out in Albion Alley, ala West Side Story. The fight ended when two clowns ganged up on a mime, wiped off his face paint and ‘demimed’ him. The mime, stripped of his powers was carried off by his troupe, screaming in terror.

UPDATE: Looks like there is a craigslist Mixed Connection resulting from Saturday’s melee. I sure hope that poor mime finds his clown.

Mime violence must be stopped…and of course, we speak of violence AGAINST mimes.

The mimed Jets-Sharks made my day. But the clowns almost ruined it by de-miming. Still, only in SF. Thanks for the video and the post!
