Ah that makes sense… I forgot those stairs were there… I thought he got up on the roof somehow.
yes… on the stirs, with all the dope smoking carnies.
My boyfriend’s drug dealing ex-neighbour pulled up to the carnival while we were talking to people and made deals with about 6 carnies right out in the open.
Ah, carnivals are such fun. 
I drove through late last night and was saddened to see young girls flirting with the filthy carnies.
So I’m on top of the ferris wheel, and I whip out my camera to take some cool fancy schmancy night time photos, and I realize I removed the CF card to upload the HTMF meeting photos. ARG!
Im surprised no one has posted something about the fight with the carnies that happend friday night.
Yeah, the guy freaked out because his kids weren’t allowed to use their wristbands after 11pm or something like that. Which is weird, because a co-worker of mine was there with his kids until midnight and they had no problem using their wristbands that late.
I was using tickets and kept on forgetting to give them to the dudes, so I went on several free rides with my kid sis. I’ll never grow up.
I went on the bumper cars 8 times yesterday.
If only real cars had a bouncy bumper like that… I might have a licence.
by the pics it looks like West Coast Amusements. Was there a really huge guy [Bruce] running one of the rides? Sold his house, quit his job and bought a ride and joined the carnival. Takes guts…
they make shit tho, isnt it like 8 bucks an hour?
They should bring back the ‘Salt & Pepper Shaker’ ride. They used to let us keep all the change and wallets that fell out of passenger pockets at the end of the night.
