Though I’ll admit, some performers are incredible. The rest of you are talentless clowns! The festival dirties and stinks up our waterfront with crowds, food, garbage, filth, and traffic. What for? So we can see talentless fools do foolish things then beg us for money.
I’d much rather hear Caesar, ukulele guy, the violin player who rips through Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”, some of those cute jazz cats, or any of our other amazing street entertainers.
People of Halifax: Do you want to see and hear some REAL talent? Head up to the corner of Spring Garden and Queen and support your LOCAL, and truly amazing buskers. —Plugging My Nose When I Get Off the Ferry

Those people on the corner of Spring/Queen aren’t talented. Not anymore than the regular buskers. And I would know since I am forced to walk by them on an almost daily basis.
HAH ‘local, truly amazing buskers’. OKAY. I bet I could pay a few of them to eat some fire though.
Oh and I don’t think the stench you smell when getting off the ferry is the people ;D. Just the result of people.

EEEEEEEK! You Win! >: 0
Well played, noble adversary. Well played, indeed.
you know that’s always my go to clown, perhaps a little too real for some. these guys are fake http://366weirdmovies.com/wp-content/uploa…
you know, we live in a free country… if you don’t like them, don’t go see them! Take the bus and shut your mouth. Easy Peasy.
Doesn’t matter what you organize in this city, someone will always have a problem with it. Stay the fuck in dartmouth where you belong, nobody invited you anyway.
PG, your pic was of John Wayne Gacy, the most terrible of terrible clowns, The Killer Clown! Now I’m going to have clownmares….
Is a jazzcat a person…or a cat? I would enjoy watching some kitties play jazz – human beings not so much.
yessir/ma’am i knew that. i study serial killers in my spare time^^sorry to freak you out
Went to the Buskers once and once was enough… never again.
“Stay the fuck in dartmouth where you belong, nobody invited you anyway.”
Hahaha fuck you SH, you smarmy bastard, and I mean that as a compliment.
Maybe you’re just smelling all the feces in the harbour?
you mean the pristine harbour we can eat shellfish out of? the busker festival results in adoptive homes for our hounds and i would love to see jazzcats http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LgPmy7NXurE/TaWw…
I’d pay to watch that drunk chick fall off the wharf outside Murphys and land on the dock below. Fuck, that would have been funny. Silly bitch can’t even walk after a drink. Why not have midget tossing? Or the ginger chase?
what is it with Halifax and buskers anyway? Did I miss a meeting or something?
one thing i learned working food service downtown is that free shit brings out the idiots (buskers, fireworks, free concerts etc). Actually, come to think of it, this is true but the nocturne thing is the exception, I don’t seem to encounter very many tools during the nocturne at night thing. go figure.
I went for a bit this weekend…
WTF is up with the flies??? is it the shit in the harbour?
the same harbour that’s supposed to be ‘all cleaned up’ and swim-able?
it was nasty…
I go every year and haven’t ever seen flies like that.
It’s like they were injected with mutagen… huge, and pissed.

I seemed to notice more flies as well zzzzzzz. I thought it just might have been I was noticing them more because I was already hot, sweaty and irritable but maybe not. I felt like every five seconds I was either swapping away a fly or gagging from some nasty smell. They need to install little yummy scent dispersing machines along the streets, like citronella :D. I love that smell for some reason.
There was a busker festival? Is that where people are shoulder to shoulder in hot weather trying to crane their necks to see and then being bugged to death for more money? Shit, glad I missed it.
