Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Magic Hat Summer Variety Tour FINAL TWO WEEKS! The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Magic Hat Summer Variety Show Tour is going well. Having already made stops at the Bonaroo Festival and Bard College's Summerscape Festival, the Bindlestiffs are rolling into a town near you with a variety show that promises something for everyone: circus, sideshow, vaudeville and burlesque presented in unique Bindlestiff style. See tour details below. You can also visit http://www.bindlestiff.org/06magichat.html or call 1-877-BINDLES * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Passing the Hat for the Trannie The tour bus we have been borrowing for the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Magic Hat tour has some major mechanical issues that we need to deal with. At this point it is waiting for transmission repairs that are going to cost approximately seven thousand dollars. And so we pass the hat amongst our friends and fans to help us get the bus back on the road. Donations are tax deductible.
