Street Performers & Upcoming Taste of Edmonton

While I was downtown Registering with MEP, I took Tate, Cordell, Justine and Noah to the Street Performers.We saw 4 shows. The first one was a bit of a dud; he took so long with his "crowd warm up" that we lost interest. We went and grabbed some snacks. Tate and Noaj had Elephant Ears (at first Tate thought they were actual Elephant Ears, lol) Justine had popcorn, and Cordell and I had frozen coconut and pineapple-sicles. People kept coming up to me saying it looked so good and asking where I got it. I was embarassed, thinking maybe I was eating so glutonously that made them come to that conclusion:(
Then we watched this AMAZING guy who is from New York. He was really funny, juggling etc. but had incredible stage presence and knew how to work the crowd!
Cordell went up during one show where they had two British women who were dressed in Girl Guides Unis. Tate joined in the Hip Hop group performance, it was pretty cool. I got pics and a video on my phone; so I will have to get Jenn to show me how to do mobile upoads. Noah and Justine were having nothing to do with the idea of getting up there.

I have wanted to go to the Taste of Edmonton for probably close to 10 years now. Looks liek this year it will finally happen! Here are the restaraunts that are participating this year! I am so excited! I don't plan on eating at all that day until I get there! I have highlighted in green all the foods I want to try. YUMMY!
