Wibble pah! pah! I spent the day fannying about in a mosque and my local temple and I could've been down there fannying about. That's tomorrow fannying about sorted now. Thanks for the reminder, I thought it was just Sat. and Sun.
Oooh I've a new (to me) camera and all.
One bag for cameras, one bag for beers and a pocket full of Rizzlas. Check, check,check.

I was at the event last year and it was excellent but look at the first three of Pauls pictures (very nice by the way) and freaks is written all over them

Paulw

They're all colourful characters.

I'm heading back in today again, for some more acts. The USA Breakdancers look like a brilliant act.

MartMax

Was there at lunch time, saw PaulW around there too.

Only saw a bits of the Piano Juggler but he's impressive. Don't think I quite get what Alexis Berube, the French guy was doing on the other play area.

Took afew pics but nothing I am really happy with (Still new to all this)

Seen some nice looking kit over there

I must admit that I'm fairly bad at recognising people, but, feel free to come up and say hi to me if you see me.

The weather is clearing up a bit, at least.

I plan to see the USA Breakdancers, and will probably stay at area 2 for 2-3 shows, then have to head home.

Paulw

Rain disturbed the USA Breakdancers yesterday, so I'm going back in again today to try to see them. Hopefully it'll be a dryer day today.

Paulw

I was there yesterday and may go again todaye, couldnt see anyone I knew although I did catch a glimpse of someone snapping my 2 year old taking a picture with my d200 so if it was anyone here please let me see, I thought it was such a cute moment and the entertainer even came over and gave here his card for the pix competition.!

Uploading pics now so may add some later.

I was concentrating heavily on a shot through a magnifying glass today and didn't notice I had become someone's subject matter. He showed me the photo and is going to put it on his Pix.ie site...hooray. As that was about the highlight for me. I couldn't think straight about what I wanted as the Aussie performers were continual whinging for money did my nut in.

But it was worth it to see myself on someone else camera doing what I do. Jayzuz I've a great arse. Bald head (less than I remember being there) but great arse.

I had a go of the slide too. Just to get away from the whinging.

DutchGuy

A few from today - took the opportunity to take my new camera out for a spin. By the way I don't think I've ever seen so many SLR's all in one place...

Alakazam

I know it's a large post but I just could not help myself.

I finally got to see the USA Breakdancers. Well worth checking out. Also had a good chat with the guys.

Took the wife to the SPWC today.
This is my favorite of the very few I took.

I missed the robot. Didn't go in today, but had a lazy day instead, and worked on my website.

Some wonderful picts from everyone.

Hey there DutchGuy,

You got me there, in the black. I'm a bit of a lurker here... I'll let the other two reveal themselves if they fancy.

I took far too many photos on Saturday and I haven't had the chance to look at them yet but I'm sure I'll around to them eventually - I have some photos from the last two years up on flickr but this is the first time I've had an SLR to take to it... what I learned is that I need a longer lens!

Did you happen to notice a rather large guy in an Irish rugby jersey sitting to your right? That was myself.

That robot was a terrifying vision of the future btw.

At least it was the first time I saw the show

funny all I thought was, "Very large robosapian."

humberklog

I thought it was a terrifying vision of further '80's revivalism!

I just saw myself on someone's Pix.ie site.

Gonna pop my photos in for development tomorrow but I don't think I got much. Expecting a bit of a squib. I was fapping about with a new camera.
Some cracking photos gone up here.
