Welcome to Blogelation And Busking



So, last night, my oh-so-lovely wife lets slip that my oh-so-good-friend Craig West has volunteered me to contribute to Blogelation.

What is Blogelation, you ask? Click on the damn link, you lazy bastard. Sorry. Its a collection of local blogging folks writing about an event. The first event was The Rotary Second Stage. Missed it? Sucks to be you, my friend. Be there next year. And quit complaining.



So. This time the event is Buskerfest.

What is Buskerfest, you ask? Goddamn, you are truly the world's laziest bastard, aren't you? Sorry. Buskerfest is this wonderful festival that is held in beaut-i-ful downtown Sault Ste. Marie every August for three days. Its Buskers. Its fun. Its educational. There be fire. And juggling. And stuff. And things. And its turned my marriage into a couple of ships passing by each other occasionally, sometimes at night, sometimes not.



And what are Buskers, you ask? Good question. Basically, from what I can figure, they are guys and gals who entertain by any means necessary in any situation possible for as much pocket change as they can get from the public. Seriously professional guys and gals who don't charge cover, but will ask for the cash in your pocket at the end of the show. This is how they make their living. Personally, I think its a pretty cool way of making a living. You get to laugh and to be amazed and to be awed and to be shocked and all it costs you is what you think it was worth.



Now. What are you doing still reading this? If its Friday or Saturday or Sunday, get your comfortable shoes on, get some bills and change together and get your freak on in beaut-i-ful downtown Sault Ste. Marie. If you can find the Museum or Top Hat or Loplops, you can find Buskerfest. Get off your ass and go. Now. Do it. Jesus.

And go to Blogelation and see what real writers and such have to say.



See you in beaut-i-ful downtown Sault Ste. Marie.
