Around this time of year I like to remind people of the Kern Kounty Klowns of 2014 Unfortunately (?) I moved away from Bakersfield by this point, but I remember it made me feel a weird sense of pride. That's MY creepy clown town! Halloween in the valley feels like Halloween, unlike the Bay Area, where I was stuck at the time. When I moved to Chico, I rediscovered rock and roll on the radio (in the Bay, in the early 2010s, it seemed I was in a rock desert. The one commercial rock station was rebranded to 'everything alternative' except """"alternative"""" was like Foster the People and Vampire Weekend kinda stuff with a 90s alt song tossed in now and then. It was peak nO oNe LiSteNs tO rOcK aNyMoRe and just. fuck that.) and a good and proper Halloween scene.
