As many of you know I have been here in san diego for over two years now.
I do family entertainment for tips. I do small 10 - 15 minute acts on the sidewalks, which sometimes may turn into a larger 30 minute act....... what I love, is small door way acts and since coming to san diego I have found the sidewalk performers dream spot. this venue is practically taylored for me. it is a little village that was designed by disney to look like a little spanish medieval village, it has an incredable view of the bay. cobble stone paths weaving through all the little shops, with sidewalk performers of every kind peppered through out the village. seaport village loves the small low key acts, because it "fits," and this is fine with me. it is vertually impossible to do a large circle show at this venue, because of regulations and space available, except at the busker's festival that comes once a year in april. thousands show up for this free admission festival, with acts from all over. I have many students around the world and since I have been here for two years I have picked up some here and created a sort of apprentaship program. if you come you will get a chance to meet them and watch them perform off property at the bay by the festival. I invite everyone to come and see the wonderful burst of the new scene here in san diego. the festival only booked ten acts for the few spots, but there will also be various other performers through out the village on property in the smaller nooks. unfortunately, because the village is so small, buskers are not welcome on property unless they are officailly in the festival. but, on the off mall property section of the board walk along the bay and out in the emarcadero park off village property, there are always a huge amount of buskers who come from all over to work the heaving crowds. in years past I have worked off property, but last year and this year I have had the huge honor to be booked into the festival. I am hoping that y'all come visit me and at the festival, to watch my show and meet me. if enough of y'all hang around after the festival I might have a meeting/lecture also free. here's the line up for; April 16 - 17, 2011 2011 Lineup of Performers We have ten talented buskers scheduled to perform at the 2011 Spring Busker Festival. Their acts will include fire stunts, awe-inspiring juggling, incredible balancing acts and of course, comedy.

It's now a week later and no one has commented. Did the festival go OK?
Pictures? Video? You know where I'm going here.
