A week in review

Monday (Labor Day) - Finished up a four day stint of street performing at Bumbershoot (the final and largest arts, music, film, comedy, dance, etc. . . festival of the summer). Over 2,500 performers. . . 500 acts and the many street performers that were there for the hat, made it an exciting holiday weekend. Not a cheap festival to attend. $28 for a one day pass, $45 for a two day pass and $80 for a four day pass + parking and any food or drinks etc. . . bla bla bla. It was a good and profitable time. I could have worked a lot harder and made a lot more money, but keeping a good and positive attitude was more important to me. I took it easy and worked at a leisurely pace, not forcing any of the shows and focusing on having a good time with the performances that I did do. Buster came down on Sunday with me. I wanted to go see Elvis Costello with him that evening but after the rain started pouring I opted to call it a day. Buster hooked up with some kids from his new school and hung out with them all evening and enjoyed the concert. I went home counted my money and picked him up a bit after 11:30PM when the festival ended for the night.

Tuesday - Alki Beach Magic Studio Session - Good time with good friends. Steve Ameden back after a couple of weeks working Mariners games. Tim Flynn on strike at Boeing. Jose taught a cool poker demonstration. Scotty & Becky showed up later, after their acrobat training. Buster showed us a nice "one handed four way cut" during the round robin (That's my boy!). Session ended around midnight. Scotty and Becky stayed for another hour and another cigar. It was a very enjoyable evening.

Wednesday - I put in a little time at the market street performing. Had to leave at 3:30 to pick Buster up at school by 4PM. He got his bus pass and will be taking the bus from here on out. This ultra progressive school concept is outrageous!! I know he will flourish like coins balanced on fingertips. I am excited for him! Wednesday night I went dancing at the Owl and Thistle. I danced all night long with 8 different women. This one girl gushed, "your the best dancer in the room". I assured her that I was the worst dancer in the room, but created a good illusion. I love the band the scene and the people. A good time was had by all.

Thursday - Recovered from Wednesday night. I had a 1PM date with a woman I had never met. I blew it off like a rude jerk off. I don't know what to say, maybe I'm just not ready to date yet. Maybe I'm just a rude jerk off. I felt to weird to even email her and try to explain. Fuck it, it's been over two years. . . . whatever. Buster and I enjoyed steak and potatoes at home for dinner.

Friday - Worked the market in the afternoon had a good time. Worked the Fenix Underground at night.

There you have it, more shit; straight from the horses ass.
