Busking Comp Losers...

Well today was the day that Ingi & I played in a busking comp for the opening of the 'Winter in Banyule: Celebrating the Arts' festival. It was fun! There were 5 buskers chosen from the ones who sent in applications and we were one of those lucky groups. We played two half hour sets in Were St. Montmerency and had a selection of people hanging around to watch us which was nice! We like having an audience! There were prizes given out at the end of the day. Unfortunately we didn't win any :( That's it, everyone do a collective groan....
*COLLECTIVE GROAN*
The judge's prize was $500 and that went to these two amazing acrobat guys who had a full on show! They deserved to win! Here's them posing for a photo after they won:

You should have seen what they could do! Then the people's choice award of $100 went to these two girls who did this African drumming routine. We were disappointed at not winning, but the other people really deserved to win, so it's all good. We're cool. We got a thankyou gift bag thing that had all sorts of goodies, the most exciting one being a small box of chocolates, so we could console ourselves after having lost.

But a huge thanks to those of you who came to support us, we really appreciate it. Here we are before we got underway:

    you know to speak so Spanish? or no
    Ludicrousity said...
    Sorry I can't speak Spanish or Greek. So I can't understand any of that stuff, I can speak German. Not that that's going to help you.
    Ludicrousity said...
    That's not real German.

    Hehehe... bad luck with the busking. Maybe you should've sung whilst jumping up and down in Ingi's head. Then you would've won.
    Ludicrousity said...
    Well that's what we thought our act was missing, som acrobatics, WHILE performing some music. I think we could pull it off. No problem hey Ingi?
    Ludicrousity said...
    Right. How delightful.
