favorite busking spots
Here's my top five in no particular order
1)Old Globe stage at the texas renaissance faire:
large stage with a cool backdrop, seating for about 400, good location near the front to the faire.
2)judging stage at the Daidogei world cup at the Shizouka street performers festival:
Even though we didn't win a prize, I though our act went over well, and we got good laughs even in Japan. I also loved hanging out with the other acts like Glen Singer and waldo woodhead
3)In front of the loding dock at the Dickens on the Strand Festival in Gallvastan Texas:
Our first year at the festival we found a spot on main street with three levels for seating, great crowd flow. We ended up doing twenty one shows in two days.
4)The pitch at the Denver street festival that is a plaza surrounded by stairs:
Good spot with plenty of seating, had fun shows there. I think we traded off with master Lee.
5)The wooden stage with the bleachers at Halifax:
When the wheather was good, that place could rock. The only down side was we traded with a bike stunt act that took forever to clear the stage. It's also where I first saw one of my favorite street performers Justin case.
Exrta bonus number six: working any stage in Minnissota before Puke and Snott.
People would get there early before our act to get seats for P.&S. then wouldn't leave after our show, so we could pass the hat going through th rows like we were at church.
I decide on my favorite spots using a combination of earning potential, and how much fun I had working there.
So anybody else have any favorites they want to share?
