Accordionista, Talker & Curator ov Eyeballs Dylan M. Blackthorn can be found in many places throughout world history. He is the keeper of the Quantum Wrench and has traveled back and forth on the roads of time, endlessly searching for members of the 999 Eyes, which he founded in 5 BC, 1850 and again in 2004 with Samantha X and Thee Lobster Girl based on a series of dreams and curious coincidences. Visions of Spiders and Eyeballs in his head brought him into the sideshow world, where he learned the art of the Human Blockhead form Herbie Hatman in the remote wilderness of northern California. Soon, he was on the road aquisitioning
pickled punks, and 2-headed animals
for the 999 EYES Museum ov Mutantstrosities,
and meeting with famous showmen such
as Bobby Reynolds, John Strong,
Jim Zajicek, and David Apocalypse.
Along the way, he became a "jack-of-all-trades",
painting banners, fixing cars, and performing the other unsavory
jobs of the showman, such as collecting eyeballs with his
patented "Eyeball Extractor" from
unwitting audiences around the country. Before joining the sideshow
world, D. M. Blackthorn has been
working with various folks in a collectivist structure putting
on free, all ages parties for over 10 years, including GEEKFEST,
