Last night I went to see the "Yard Dogs Road Show" downtown Flag...what a blast---two shows in one...the "real" show on stage and the "other show" re the costumes and activities of the audience..I danced afterwards with all the "youth"...sheer pleasure, joy, and LAUGHING ALOT! The following is the description from their website and they really do everything that is mentioned. If it is your town GO SEE THEM! What a treat--trick or treat, that is....ha ha ha

The Subtle and the Absurd
The Yard Dogs Road Show is a hobo cabaret, a living patchwork of vaudeville and rock and roll. In the enchanting land of stage show entertainment theirs is both pleasant and formidable terrain. They require a sensitivity to the subtle and the absurd. They lead the modern hobohemian on a visual and sonic journey through part of history that may or may not have existed – followed by an ambitious return to the emotional challenges of our punch-drunk contemporary world. It’s a true story on stage: sword swallowers, dancing dolls, fire eaters and sunset hobo poetry - all animated by the live sounds of the Yard Dogs cartoon heavy band. Yard Dogs Road Show is pure visual and sonic voodoo.
