Thinking

I sure do wish The Californian would get a new picture of Vincent Brothers. They keep using a picture of him with his head in his hands looking kinda pouty and annoyed. Brothers’ attorneys asked a judge to throw out the case against him last week for about the millionth time, which the judge replied ‘NO DUDE!’ They’re back in court again today requesting that the gag order be removed because, ya know, it’s real important that they’re able to plead their case to the public BEFORE THE TRIAL EVEN STARTS.


There’s a book signing planned at Russo’s at the Marketplace this coming Saturday. This is no ordinary book signing. The book, “American Sideshow” is about some 250 carnival performers. Accompanying the author, Mark Hartzman, will be two local sideshow performers, Vivian Wheeler the “Bearded lady” and George McArthur, “a sword-swallowing, fire eating, 7-foot-3-inch man.”

Also this week, we have Doofus Doolittle performing in the Ozark Jubilee at the Fox Theater AND The Supergrass Festival, Thursday - Saturday at the Rabobank Arena.

Bakersfield just got a whole lot more interesting.
