Kevin Ellsworth

Hi, so, um, it feels odd to write into this as if I'm addressing a crowd when there's no one actually around. But I think I was supposed to introduce myself?

I'm Ellsworth. Kevin Ellsworth. But I usually answer to Freakshow. I guess I live at the Paradise Hotel now. Tessa brought me here from LA. I don't want to talk about why on a handheld computer-phone device---this thing is freaking me out a little bit. I'd much rather introduce myself in person? English is not my first language and it's easier to speak it than to write it. I'm in 1803.

My youth exposes its frail roots, like the bald and flailed earth beneath my tattered shoes and it's clear what was cultivated here: a childhood marked by un-abstracted fear

( And its not my fault things got this way. )
