Singing for your Supper
If Napoleon Dynamite and that kid from Superbad decided to start a two man ukulele band that both practiced, and rocked out, on the streets of Edinburgh, it would look a little something like the above video.
Among the performers and flyers of the Royal Mile, this little bit of homegrown fun is irresistibly campy. I pass them almost every day, but this time decided to stop and realized that the little button on the side of my camera is for “record.”
Enthusiastically singing Dr. Hook’s classic “On the Cover of Rolling Stone,” these two ne’er-do-wells prove that not all musicians are getting laid…
…sometimes, it’s just about the music, man.
On a side note, I was so impressed with myself for "discovering" the ability to create moving pictures that I started jumping and giggling in what could have been misinterpreted as girlish enthusiasm and hot-to-trot fever.

About
"Spending my time so that you don't waste yours"
This would be a nice tagline, if you were actually here, attending the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. However, if you're not, then I'm merely here to amuse and stand-in for you, the common man, entitled to his/her theater as much as the next snob.
I am a professional spectator with years of audience experience and am now applying these skills generously (and with abandon) to all of the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
