When I was 12 years old I took a clown class. I've performed at circuses, birthday parties, parades...all the typical events. I think I'm a good clown.
When I lived in Lansing I participated in activities with a clown alley, but since moving to Grand Rapids I haven't done much. Well, a couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me that it wouldn't be too difficult to have some promo pictures taken of me in costume and have my fiance build me a website. I had let my memberships in the COAI (Clowns of America International) and WCA (World Clown Association) expire, so I figure that maybe I'll renew those this year after the wedding and follow through with this idea. Part of this process, of course, is to find a clown alley to belong to. So far I've found nothing. There is one alley up here, and it appears to be awfully small...I can't imagine that they do much, but I could be wrong. I'm tempted to just belong to the alley I was involved with in Lansing and just travel the state a bit. I don't know what to do. I don't know where I belong. I really miss clowning, but I can't seem to find much.
How do you find a clown organization to belong to? If I do join an alley, providing I find one, I am going to volunteer to build them a website...even if it's the most basic, just so that nobody else has this problem. The funny part is that I'm totally motivated to do this now, and it's kind of a let down to not have anywhere to go or any meetings to attend. The nearest event coming up is the Midwest Clown Association convention in Lansing...in OCTOBER. Bah. I'll figure something out.
