[Snugglesnort]

I just think we need one. One thread where all the resources, books websites, organizations, museums, magazines, and whatever else is out there public that we have used to learn to clown, and other skills, can be seen by all. So post them... if they are not posted already.


Websites: there are definitely many many more good sites out there. Post them, and I will add them too the list here in the first post. I am breaking them up in the broadest of categories to facilitate the wonders of browsing, and me not having to continually make new categories.
