Clowns totally creep me out. So I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near Mexico City yesterday. Why? Because the Latin American Clown Convention was held there with about 400 clowns conviening from Central America, Dominican Republic, the United States but mostly from Mexico. Latin America, it appears, is very fond of their clowns and are ubiquitous presences at kid’s birthday parties, celebrations and as sidewalk entertainment. To hone their craft, the convention offered a variety of seminars and workshops for these clowns over the four days of the event. Face Painting 101? Introduction to Balloon Animals? Regardless, I’m sure glad I’m thousands of miles away.
