Everyone has had them. Comments from the Peanut Gallery and they can be astounding and brutal.
Last night I received one of the most flattering compliment from a static trapeze artist. She said:
"That was like watching a poem made of light."
Tonight, I heard, "Are you that guy that slings lights around?"
It will go down as one of the most unappreciative comments I have ever heard.
It's always interesting to know what people have said to you about your performance, whether or not they are capable of considering what you have put into it.

My unicycle has been called a tricycle on a number of occasions....

Working on it.
Best one was someone calling it a monocle.

At one event, a little girl told her friend that we were using marshmallows and lighting them on fire. Cutest thing ever!

So far I only have 2 memorable ones...
The apartment building across from the tennis court: "
yo, she must be with the color guard!!!"The building across from my building: "What's with the lights? Oh, look closer those are tricks. That must be light tricks, and that's another one! *beatboxing ensues from their balcony*"
Only in Delaware folks!

Lol i would love to spin to some beatboxing.
When i spun in front of my apartments(stopped because this was really annoying) people would see me spin and say "raver" or something to that extent, and it was really annoying to me because although people do spin at raves i dont think it should be limited to that because lots of people who spin arent ravers, like me haha.
Oh and when my little brothers say "pretty lights" that always puts a smile on my face
to spin or not to spin, that is the question.

I performed at a friend's party last night, and while no one said anything too daft, I was entertained by the inarticulate attempts to describe my techy stuff. "I liked the way you made the poi... move in like... 90 degree angles and like... straight lines and not circles. You know what I'm talking about?" or "I like the thing you did with both hands where it looked like they were going different speeds."
