THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

I remember spending summers in these traveling carnivals.   They would pitch a tent in like some small town in Florida or wherever, stay there for a few days, and then move around.  I would sell goldfish.  It was great for me because I would have the run of the place.  I could say, “I’m with the show” and they would let me on the rides and I would hang out with all these characters.  It was one of those things that made me realize early on I had a real fondness for the chaos of a circus.  It was also the first time I realized that there were men who looked like lobsters and women with rubber skin that walked the earth.
