Buskerfest '10

For years now, every August, I have seen posters plastered all over the subway and the streets for Buskerfest. I had a basic understanding that it was a bunch of street performers on Front performing crazy tricks, but I had no idea how much fun it could be, even alone! I was looking for something to do Friday afternoon and decided I would head downtown and check it out since it was free. My first impression when I walked threw the gates was a man balancing a lawnmower on his chin while people threw lettuce at him. How much better can you get?

Here are some of my favourites of the festival.

Saurus

from the Netherlands

Shoehorn

from the US

a one man show... tap dances while playing the sax!

And last but certainly not least my absolute favourite...

Kim Churchill

from Australia

An amazing singer and performer. I highly recommend checking out his next show in Toronto at the Horseshoe Tavern on Sept. 1. THAT'S THIS WEDNESDAY! Believe me if you go you will buy his CD! Plus he's cute.

I would highly recommend you check out the festival next year if you've never gone before. It's also a great opportunity to get some artsy photos. I don't have a decent camera or I might have snapped some up.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

Peace and Love.
