Comedians, Jugglers, and Sandwiches

Today at 10:00am we went to see a comedian named David Newton. I thought he was hysterical, but of course Philip being the "Negative Nancy" didn't like him and kept mumbling about not getting enough sleep. I don't know what his problem is. The show lasted an hour and was great. We were all laughing so hard and I'm pretty sure Forrest wet his pants. Oh, Forrest.

After that wacky comedian, we decided to poke around some of the unscheduled shows: all of the amazing street performers. To me, this part of the festival was by far the coolest. There were jugglers, dancers, magicians, comedians (that weren't lame), and skits of all sorts. I really liked this juggler named Mr. Zak. He showed me over 20 ways to juggle 3 balls: cascade, columns, snake, box, robot, carry, and more.  Later, we ran into a magician who made Carson's hair red.  Whoa.

The evening ended perfectly with dinner at a pleasant little diner right outside of the festival. We sat outside watching the lights and hearing the voices of the festival as we munched on our sandwiches--a great end to the day.
