Inside Out 2 'glimmers with truths about the business of being a human'

“Well, God give them wisdom that have it; and those that are fools, let them use their talents.”

—Feste the Clown, Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare

Walking up to the Elysian Theater, a small club off the 5 at the foot of Elysian Heights in Los Angeles, I thought I was hallucinating when I saw a dozen goats under the bright white light of the marquee, and for every goat a clown. Everyone was fawning over the short-haired creatures. Some had two little bald spots on their heads instead of horns, which, I later learned, is where the hot irons get applied for disbudding.

The Elysian was hosting Clownchella, an event happening the week before Coachella. Maybe it goes without saying: these events bear virtually no relation to each other. Coachella is a sprawling music and art festival of spoon-fed nostalgia, snakeskin pants, and sensorially shattering spectacle held on the grounds of a polo club, brought to you by sponsors like American Express, Coca-Cola, BMW, et cetera, and which costs (at least) $510 plus accommodations. Clownchella was a one-night clown festival with five acts that cost sixteen bucks.

It’s happened. It’s actually happened. Everybody stay calm… Erik ten Hag will stay at Man United! Has anyone seen Marcus’ aunt?

Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete are here to celebrate the returning manager before reaching the inevitable conclusion - he’s going to be used as a scapegoat, isn’t he?

Elsewhere, there’s even more room for celebration as Tom Heaton joins up with the England squad armed with a backpack full of Monster Munch and Peperamis. Surely it’s coming home?
