This year's fire show finale was pretty much all Brendan doing his "Tony Hawk on a flamin' skateboard" imitation. Hot stuff! And a word of advice to festival producer Al Moniz: Relax, old man! Brendan just looks like he's out of control. 

Street Performing is an old craft, relying on the generosity of the spectator. Just think-- where else can you watch live entertainment without having to pay up front, and then afterward, you get to decide how much you'd like to pay for it, if you feel the performer has earned it? Come on down and join us this year, and see one of the highlights of a summer on Cape Cod.
