all the world's a stage.

 

just got back from buskerfest. i.am.beat. super fun though, so many fun acts (and delicious food) to check out. my favourite by far were the USA breakers.

these boys had tricks! and were great with the crowd - at one point they pulled audience members up and taught them some "moves" so that they could dance-off against eachother. those poor old white men didn't know what they were in for! and did i mention their dj? oh boy. hilar.

dance-off.

hand.stand.

earlier in the day, we watched another performer break the current world record for escaping from a straight jacket. he shaved two seconds off the original record. not bad. not bad at all. other performers included crazy guy in a crazy big suit, crazy guy on a crazy big bike that blew crazy amounts of fire and crazy guy with crazy computer letting himself be sprayed by water. okay, so we were a little confused by some of the performances (more pics of all of the extravaganza are at flickr). overall a super fun afternoon though. casey is exhausted and i'm ready to settle into some big brother and true blood. can't.wait. now, if only there was a way for me to put off monday. i'm just not ready for you yet. hope you all had a great weekend! xo

wanna go for a ride? fire in the hole.

A few years ago I was one of the "poor white men" pulled up for the dance off.

Unfortunately I was pretty drunk, but thanks to a front flip I learned in grade school I won that biz!

hahaha there was nothing as fancy as a flip in this dance off...you would have destroyed them lol
