InterPlay

Last Saturday, I went to the second annual InterPlay Film Festival here in Fort Mac. I've seen tons of ad materials about it but I was never really sure what the festival was about. To be honest, I didn't even know it was a film festival until after I had gone and decided to google it. That was a bummer, because if I had known, I would've actually stayed longer and watch a few films (instead of wandering around, buying cotton candy and watching sideshows).  I guess there is always next year.

 Read more about the event's lineup here.

Here are a few pictures MeanBean and I took:

 

 

I was never really into extreme sports--mostly because I suck at every sport known to man and partly because I don't enjoy watching stunts where there is a 50% chance it would give me a heart attack. I must admit though that  Kris Garwasiuk and Bruce Cook of Global FMX  made it look fun.  more after the jump >>

Another sideshow was Bike Boy, a juggling street performer. Apparently he had also auditioned for Australia's Got Talent! Here's his audition video (he has gotten a little bit better and quite funnier:

A couple of pictures from his street performance during interPlay:

 Johndough is a local hiphop artist. Not a fan of the live performance, but I guess I should cut him some slack, given that most professional performers still suck.

  

 He seems to be making a name for himself though, with over 50,000 hits on YouTube for his single Into Space. It's pretty good.

And the blocked off street.

 
On a totally different note...

the next DIY post (hopefully before the end of this week) is on glass etching. However, I had been looking for Armour Etch--an etching cream--here in Canada and it is proving itself to be a very difficult task. Even an amazon seller had cancelled my order because the postal service wouldn't let her ship it (it's a corrosive)!

I also learned that the Canadian Walmart catalog is slightly different from the US Walmart selection (i.e. US Walmart sells etching cream, whereas the Canadian one does not!)

I had someone send it to me from BC and it is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon. We'll see how that goes.
