Well, well...

A news report this morning on KMBZ radio had me doing a Google search for "8th Street Tunnel", which eventually took me here:

http://www.undergroundozarks.com/camelot.html

Doesn't look like much, does it?

Late Edit: I've created a bit of a mess here, and didn't intend to. While I haven't done so yet, I may close this post to further comment. We'll see.

Have you seen the website with the photos of the ren faire from back East that closed for want of a buyer? The pictures are sad and spooky. The Camelot pictures hit me in the same way, and I posted the link (and will leave it here) for that reason.

I will forever disagree with some of you on the character of Martin English. He is one fine man and personally paid out of his own savings, bills of performers who needed the financial help.

He felt, and still feels personally responsible for having drawn many people in to Camelot. He bought a house down there and bought into the dream himself.

He was one of the victims, not a perpetrator.

And it is not a matter for joking in my book. Sorry.

I don't think anyone intimated that he was a "perpetrator" by any means.

Although it is true that many people who made the choice to go made it on the strength of believing that if Martin was involved it was necessarily legit.

Me? I wasn't going to give up an actual job with actual benefits to try out something that clearly had a piss poor business plan...and I was someone who was offered not only a performance gig, but a clerical gig in the office to boot to entice Cliff to make the choice to go.
