Clown vs. Mime Smackdown on The Streets of San Francisco

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.

RICK!
