Today I've been up making Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Cupcakes for Kacy's 19th birthday tomorrow. I had to make her something TOTALLY cray cray and over the top-- what else are bake-happy older sisters good for? I'm also going to meet up with some college friends tonight for some food and drinks in celebration of my friend Tyler's birthday. (Tyler, of I'm-trying-not-to-cry-next-to-you-in-127-Hours-this-is-awkward fame.)

BUT, yesterday Rebekah and I got to do something else totally boss: we went to see the local Busker Festival. Our city has one every year, and it fills the downtown area with street performers who complete amazing acts and crowds of people to see it all go down. We saw the end of an acrobatic act and then watched an escape artist escape from a straight jacket 20 feet in the air. COOL stuff. The other amazing thing about live street theatre is seeing this stuff up close. The performers clearly LOVE what they're doing and there's a lot of audience interaction. You're going to get heckled by them if you're on their cellphone or if you're standing someone clear and obvious in their sight. There's a nervous energy about it that you don't really find in other kinds of theatre.




Fun lights are fun.
