There was a talented street artist creating balloon creatures at the Scotiabank BuskerFest 2013 — aka BuskerFestTO — in support of Epilepsy Toronto.

This was his signage.

I call it Creature from the Colored Balloons.

If you’re in Toronto or environs, there is still time to get your own balloon creature. Sunday: 11 am – 8 pm.

I ate the peameal bacon — aka Canadian bacon or peameal back bacon — on a bun. I drank the fresh lemonade. I visited Tiny Tom. I always visit Tiny Tom ever since I discovered him within sniffing distance.

I walked miles. And then I walked miles back.

I road the rails, both train and subway.

I delighted in the street theater and embraced the crowd.

It was everything you would expect from a street festival.

Can’t wait to do it all again next year.

Thank you for the early birthday adventure, Mr. G, honey. You get me.
