It's not a huge secret that while I'm "between shows" I like to keep myself sharp by performing a mindreading act-- and busking in particular.
Over the last couple of weeks I've been performing a two-person act with my good buddy Wes Barker.
On our first day we wound up doing about five interviews with local and international media types. Here's a link to one story that the CBC did.

Things started at a nice typical pace. 10 minutes after mommy leaves Hector wakes. Breakfast is the usual struggle but I get in a little yogurt and cereal. I call it a draw.
We head out to the library. I change his diaper but leave him in his pj's thinking that he'll be down for his nap in an hour and a half anyway.
This is hubris.
A trendy cafe/take out place that offers organic-style breakfast/lunch/dinner. Tasty but a little expensive... it's crowded with posers of all shapes and sizes so it's a loooooong wait for a table. But that didn't stop us from eating here daily for over a week.
