Bloody Valentines, an Evening of Murder Ballads and Mayhem

The Earl put on a Valentine’s Day show that was more about heartbreak and death than chocolate and flowers, featuring Aileen Loy & Till Someone Loses an Eye, Thimblerig Circus, and a cavalcade of locals doing everything from circus sideshow acts to on-stage electrocutions, all while singing merry little ditties by the likes of Nick Cave and Violent Femmes.  What could be more romantic? You sorta just had to be there. Here’s the best photos I got of the show, sans further comment.
