God I Love Carny's
One thing that always makes me a little sad about this blog is that I don't think there are any Carny's who read it. I don't know if it's supposed to be Carny or Carnie, but hey, it's the people that party their guts out as they travel from county to county setting up rides which may, or may not make it through the night. While they are at it, they fight, drink, hit on people and collect all the change that falls out of our pockets when we ride said rides.
I would love to spend a season with them. Apparently Jessica Simpson feels the same way I do. Oh yes, the woman who used to headline arenas is now on the county fair circuit this summer. Notice, it isn't the state fair circuit. No, it's the county fair circuit.
The first I saw of this was when someone sent me the information on the Monterey County Fair. Jessica Simpson is headlining one night and plenty of tickets are still available. In fact, they could end up giving them away from free. Not that they cost more than $5 anyway and that includes admission to the fair. Who else is headlining the Monterey County Fair this year?
Glad you asked. Steve Holy is there on Senior Night and then there is Tower Of Power one night. Most of the other nights haven't been filled yet. Apparently the $1000 guarantee doesn't attract the quality it used to.
One very sad note to this otherwise gleeful story is that Loverboy is the headliner on Friday night of the fair. That one hurts, but to see Jessica play in front of no one even though they only have to pay $3 might even it out.

It's like Spinal Tap--our town does a free summer series every year--last year we saw Kansas & Petula Clark for nothing. Then it was too hot to go out.Fortunately for usthe list is out--Jessica Simpson will not be playing in the Town of Oyster Bay series!
Loverboy is actually awesome live! I saw them a couple of years ago during Canadian Music Week and it was wicked. Go loverboy!
i love Loverboy..Turn me Loose I gootta do it myyyyy way!
they play here like every other damn day. red leather has never been the same.
Maybe we could talk Carnie Wilson into reading your blog. ;-)
Wouldn't the plural be "carnies"? Just wondering.
taylor - ent has always had bad grammar/spelling. There must be some sort of lawyer spell check that doesn't work on blogger. ;)
That is pretty sad about J.Simp though. Daddy must be upset.
I wonder if she will be at the L.A. County fair. Concerts there tend to be free!!!
Somewhere, Nick is laughing his ass off at this.
..or wondering how is agent missed getting him on the bill?
I love going to the fair! I am showing my Ohio hickness.
