I busked last night for the first time ever!!

My general state of mind (paranoid) keeps me from doing anything in public at all but I did it and I feel FANTASTIC!!!
it was to a bus load of tourists stopping off in my home town for a coffee on their journey, I didn't earn a penny but it was worthit anyway!! WOW!!!

I twirled a lot better as well, leading to the point of this post.................do you twirl better when you're being watched cos I do!!! I did a five point weave without thinking about it and when I concentrate I cant even thread the needle!!!

WOOO!!!!!
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!
please excuse me being over excited,
WOOOOOO HOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

I did my first twirling a while ago during Moomba, so we had quite a few people walking past. I'd say we got about $25 bucks out of it... Even tho I was on the ground panting for an hour after fire breathing three times in a short period.

Twasnt fun.

But the beutiful thing is, getting money for something you love doing!

Had my first busk today, it was amazing... it was for the Beltane Fire Festival, and there were something like 15 drummers to give us some great beats biggrin And noone laughed at me, so I'm quite happy and semi-confident for the actual performance next weekend! Got sunburned (IN SCOTLAND!) though rolleyes
