The Residents' Bad Day on the Midway

From the minute you wake up, the world is not quite right. A power failure caused your alarm to go off an hour late, the last piece of bread burns in the toaster and there’s no milk for your coffee. Immediately after breaking a shoestring, you find a stain on your favorite shirt–the one you’re wearing on a hot lunch date. When four total strangers say, “You look tired” on the way to work, you realize it’s not going to get any better.Sooner or later it happens to everyone, but most bad days don’t include plague death, being stalked by a serial killer and having your business shut down by the IRS. It may be true that no one escapes death and taxes, but they're not usually a one-two punch. While THE RESIDENTS’ BAD DAY ON THE MIDWAY may be a little more extreme than most, its aim is the same as any other bad day: SURVIVAL! Based on the award winning CD-Rom game, Bad Day on the Midway is a relentless roller coaster ride of imagination, dark humor and surprise - delivered as only The Residents can... a Disneyland of the damned.
