I thought it was great. I'm also very jealous, where i'm at (Fargo, ND) there is practically no where to do any sort of gig like that for hundreds of miles. There is also a great lack of people to do it with around here. (but i'm slowing gaining some loyalties around my campus) I grew up in rural North Dakota, and the first thing that I was taught when i started to be around people aside from my close family was: 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" although, in these parts, no one every really says anything that has to do with emotions. This being said, at least at a renaissance faire, the audience will somewhat enjoy the music being played, where as, I'm sure that no one would say a world if they saw what I was doing with the gurdy to keep myself busy.
I'd like to see more videos. Very ridiculous looking show. =D -Michael 2009/12/9 Sergio F.
