Showman
In 1994 Rinaldi conceived, organized, and became the ringmaster of Circus Redickuless, a nationally touring "punk rock circus" which ran for six years. It consisted of many members of the Cacophony Society as well as Chicken John's pet, "Dammit the Amazing Wonder Dog." The circus was the subject of a 1997 documentary of the same name by Phillip Glau. This film later won Best Documentary at the 1998 New York Underground Film Festival. Rinaldi helped organize many Cacophony events in Los Angeles before moving to San Francisco in 1996, becoming involved in its own Cacophony chapter and the intertwined community of Burning Man.
In 2002 Rinaldi organized the first Bakersfield-to-Fresno handsaw-powered vehicle rally.
