Yes, the Clown House, on the corner of 25th and Alberta, hosted their final Last Thursday event with special guest stars The B:C Clettes. The girls had the crowd jumping and rumors were abound that Portland's very own Sprockettes would be performing.

Even though a few of the Sprockettes were spotted in the crowd and helping out behind the scene at at the Clown House they did not perform. Well, I left kind of early so maybe I just missed it. Anyway, for all of youz guyz that stayed in (or went to the symphony at the Waterfront Park), here are a couple of pictures from the Last Last Thursday at the Clown House.
