In 1997 I moved to Chicago with my girlfriend. Soon after I found myself home sick with the flu and rifled through her VHS collection for something to watch. It was then I came upon GIRLS AT THE CARNIVAL. Really, it's just a tape that she mistakely took from an old college roommate, but ultimately it's a sneak peek into growing up in small town Ohio. I believe it was filmed in Canal Fulton, Ohio in 1993. I once saw main character Jen at a bar in Kent, Ohio and told her that a group of friends and I had watched the tape well over 100 times and she was absolutely horrified. My favorite part will always be the karate kid at 3:58, you can see a glitch on the screen from where we paused it so many times. A framed print-out of that image has hung in my kitchen for the past 8 years. I had an art show with Beth Hoeckel and Joan Hiller called CHUXED, which is taken from the drunken scenes during the 1/2 half of part two. Oh, just watch the whole thing for yourself. It's a treasure.

This video is very poorly made. The narration is incohesive, the camerawork is amateur at best, the lighting is non-existent, and those outfits - I find it hard to believe anyone in their right mind would dress like that. They look like a poor man's take on the future-set scenes in Back to the Future 2. * 1/2
