   About Madcap Rumpus Society
The Madcap Rumpus Society, in its current incarnation, is the troupe which performs with Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band. This is their story...

Before passing from this plane in 1880, Emperor Norton, I, revealed to his followers that he was no ordinary mortal man, but instead a manifestation of the absurd and unusual forces of the universe. He offered them the chance to follow him on his crusade to unsettle and disturb that which had become bland and banal. A grand parade ensued and continues on through time and space, bringing in its wake a glorious commotion that encourages all to join in the jubilation and make of this world what they will.

We are the progeny of this bizarre cavalcade. We dance at the edge of reason, sing the song of society's fringe and drum out whatever din you are called to march to. Emperor Norton is not dead; he is waiting to be awakened in each of us.

We're throwing a pool party on Sunday, but you can leave your bathing suit at home! Get your mind out of the gutter, kids — it's a Burlesque Billiards Bash at Flat Top Johnny's!

For only $5 you can play pool all night for free, while the booze flows freely and the tunes play sweetly! Mix and mingle with fans and members of your favorite burlesque troupe!

This event is being filmed for a short documentary on The Boston Babydolls. It would mean a lot to us if the place was crammed full of happy, smiling people, playing pool!

Yo, we love the work you do to fight oppression and this bullshit system of exploitation. When you're working to shut down the war machine, environmental destruction, the world free trade efforts, racist and classist mofos, corporate swine and their media lapdogs, repressive laws, the fascist police state, and capitalism itself -- when you're working to support indigenous rights, the freedom of women and children (and men, for that matter), civil liberties and free speech, poor people and homeless folk -- when you're engaged in anarchist and anti-authoritarian struggles -- we want to help!

Trash Orchestra is a marching percussion band – a bone-shaking recycled orchestra. We make percussion on tuned cans, hubcaps and barrels, drums, pieces of sheet metal, and homemade oddities. We show up invited and uninvited at protests and celebrations, furors and fracases.

Invite us next time there's a need to make a ruckus, to shout out and make a big noise. We're there.

Love,
Santa Cruz Trash Orchestra

ahh come on now...you know I can't resist circus people

"Damn everything but the circus!
...damn everything that is grim, dull,
motionless, unrisking, inward turning,
damn everything that won't get into the
circle, that won't enjoy, that won't throw
its heart into the tension, surprise, fear
and delight of the circus, the round
world, the full existence..."
