In Memory of Ken Carns.
Ken, ran "The Ken Show" at the Museum of Unnatural History. We heard of his passing on the Newsgroup alt.fairs.renaissance:

Ken of the Ken Show, The Museum of UnNatural History passed away last night[Saturday] after a long battle with C--------. (In respect for Ken, who would never tell anyone what was going on, even though we all knew..) For those who didn't know him, but I'm sure ya would recognize him. Ken was the freak standing outside the booth, with the spiderwebbed tunic, black nail polish, black eyeliner, big boots, and all this on a guy in his 50's with a braided blonde beard down to his chest. To quote him directly, "Damn, I still can't believe their letting me make a living at doing this."
Ken was a real artist, all the disturbing and weird exhibits in the show were designed and sculpted by him. His sense of excellent wit was shown in the the jars of unknown specimens and such. I won't give away the nature of the work, because I would like to challange all of ya do drop by, maybe bring a rose to leave at the "Cursing Well" for Ken, and if ya never been in the Museum, or even if ya have I go back every year and snicker at the exhibits. His family has pledged to keep the booth operating during this season. It easy to find, look for the giant wall of skulls. And my wish for Ken is that he be pickled and put on display somewhere. I know that he would have appreciated freaking everybody out forever............"
