Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story on CNET:
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is offering a clowns-only screening of Stephen King's "It," the classic horror story featuring Pennywise the murderous clown.
There are three clowns-only showings, all at Austin, Texas theaters on Sept. 9, the day after "It" opens in the US.
"For this special clown screening of IT, all attendees should arrive dressed as a clown in order to attend," the Alamo Drafthouse website explains. "Please arrive early and join us in the Barrel O' Fun (CNET note: The whaaat, now?) beginning at 5:30pm for an IT pre-party where we will have face-painters available for clown touch-ups, a photo booth, raffles for prizes, and other terrifying merriment. Please arrive in your own Pennywise best and be ready to float with us."
[Ed Note: The fear of clowns is Coulrophobia. The wikipedia page does NOT have pictures, which I find mildly amusing.]

I love this idea. It's so money! I'm incredibly tempted to put on my clown suit and wig and head for Texas!
So, you'll be dressing the same as usual, then?
(I know you set this one up just for me @realDJT!!)

White supremacists think they're sooo macho.
Apparently, there's nothing more effective than dressing like clowns and mocking them. [commondreams.org]
"White power!" "White flour??" (Throws white powder into the air)
"White power!" "Wife power??" (Women clowns pick up a male clown and carry him around)
