Pasadena Confidential (Vroman's edition) - Sat. March 15Mar 15 2008 - 12:00pm Mar 15 2008 - 5:00pm A special edition of our Pasadena Confidential Crime Bus tour featuring Crimebo the Clown, offered exclusively for friends of Pasadena's venerable Vroman's Bookstore (with reservations available directly from the store). ABOUT THE TOUR: The Crown City masquerades as a calm and refined retreat, where well-bred ladies glide around their perfect bungalows and everyone knows what fork to use first. But don't be fooled by appearances. Dip into the confidential files of old Pasadena and meet assassins and lepers, kidnappers and slashers, Satanists and all manner of maniac in a delightful little tour you WON'T find recommended by the better class of people! From celebrated cases like the RFK assassination (with a visit to Sirhan Sirhan's folks' house), "Eraserhead" star Jack Nance's strange end, black magician/rocket scientist Jack Parsons' death-by-misadventure and the 1926 Rose Parade grand stand collapse, to fascinating obscurities, the tour's dozens of murders, arsons, kidnappings, robberies, suicides, auto wrecks and oddball happening sites provide a alternate history of Pasadena that's as fascinating as it is creepy. Passengers will tour the old Millionaire's Row on Orange Grove, thrill to the shocking Sphinx Murder on the steps of the downtown Masonic Hall, wonder about the unknown fiend who sneaked past a little girl to poison her father's beer and discover why people named Judd should think twice before moving to Pasadena.
