I got this announcement from the Somerville Arts Council e-mail list. Take it with however many kg of sodium chloride that you prefer:

Hey all, so that Fantastic Amazing Astounding Traveling circus which I announced as being on monday evening is actually on Tuesday evening.

Come one come all to see the first performance of the soon-to-be Internationally Famous Flaming Deathwish Itinerant Family Circus, lead by Mr. Crazy Lady and her trained fleas. Hailing from the greater Providence area (extending as far north as Baffin Island, and as far south as Easter Island, though performers are neither puffins nor catholics), Flaming Deathwish will perform a number of simultaneously death-defying and family-friendly stunts, in series and parallel. Boston is their first stop on a nationwide schoolbus tour on which they aim to inspire chaos and liberation at every possible juncture.

Flaming Deathwish will be joined by the ever expanding Fantastic Non-Stick Antiperspirant Russian Nonsemble, lead by siberian ex-patriot Fluffsky the spectacled polar bear.

The party starts Tuesday, sept 7 at 6pm in Davis Square Plaza, in front of the JP Licks. Donations to the circus tour gas fund are encouraged but in no way required.

Hmmm - this sounds like there may be a collision between the circus and the contra dance previously announced (http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square/2360840.html) for that space tonight.

One of the first clues last night that the circus wasn't going to show was that a guitarist started up in the space somewhere between .5-1 hour earlier and didn't seem likely to end anytime soon.

However, the Contra doesn't start until 7:30, and this is an "itinerant" circus, so I believe it could only take an hour? Maybe?

No, it's really trying way too hard.

Dialed down by about half might be interesting--this is too self-consciously twee.

I'm pretty sure I saw them setting up in the park on the bike path behind the Davis T station on Holland at 6 pm.

I walked out of the T on that side at 6:45, and I neither saw nor heard any out-of-the-ordinary frivolity.

I apologize for passing on some apparently bad info...
