on a Worst Thirstday in Puddletown there was a clown hawking citizens to a dark and dreary warehouse. He wore a bright red grin and rode in a dark and scary on one side and bright and silly on the other side truck.  We were mesmerized, transfixed, transformed and infected. 

 

Art Cars. 
Five of them, loud and quiet, discreet and obnoxious. Rev. Chuck, Cupcake, St. Vincent, and Skinner's truck all vibrated there in the parking lot, glowing and sparkling, barking and smelling funny.

 


Extremo pointed us to a funky little space known as the Bad Art Gallery where they, also called Cacophonists were selling BAD ART! There was a red silk-pj'd accordianist and people dressed outrageously in public, like on the Chess Show. Albob and Lil Weeny Kween weren't frightened, no way, we peed ourselves in delight.  We'd found the mutants we'd been searching for all our lives.  And we were saturated. 

We went to Burning Man and we ran around as Santas and we decorated our truck with metal objects 'd art. Then one day, around April Fool's back in 99, the Clown asked me if he could paint our truck.

 

      "Uh, yeah, sure, uh what do uh, I really like Devil Girls". "Can you paint a devil girl on the hood, something that looks like my character?" And Just like that, it began, again we were mesmerized, transfixed and wore diapers.  It was the infection we didn't want to heal, the fever, Kweeny was born and she went to Seattle ArtsEdge and Da Vinci Days and the Art Car Fest in San Francisco and soon she'll be trolling the Rockies at Art Car Summit Parade, July 4th, 2000 in Breckenridge, Colorado. Come and join us!  You'll have a swell time!

We won stuff at Seattle Art Car Blowout, lookee...Kweeny was voted on by the mob 'o gawkers, Best Painted Exterior, me and Extremo were proud mutants. Albob, the owner, celebrated by wearing a grass skirt and flouncing around with The Wop and dancing to Aunt Janie's theme song, CHA CHA IGUANA!  Love that tune and my theme song too!  CD burned, music written and performed by EXTREMO!  You probably have one stuck on your truck!
