Toronto Meetup - Aug 26, 2007

[Antarctican]

We went to "Buskerfest", which was a 4 day event featuring street performers (Buskers) from all over the world. These were high-end performers (not a mime in sight!) from as far away as Australia, India, Bolivia, Japan and the UK. Acts include everything from contortionists to musicians to acrobats, magicians, sword swallowers etc etc, with many of the acts including a lot of humour as well. And of course there was the 'statue' performer' who, after I put money in his hat, patted his cheek as a signal for me to kiss him there, then as I came in close he swung his head around as if to go for a kiss on the lips.

I am so asking myself the same when I see Carl's (aka Chiller's) photos here!!! Amazing! I am not in any way near his "eye". You're saving so you can come and teach me, Carl, aren't you?

Excellent stuff Carl. Love the shot of the "walking dead guy". Even though it was "botched" you did a great job on recovery.
