++ BLIP FESTIVAL NEW YORK BRINGS YOU IN AND OUT FROM THE COLD ++
---
After four years of trudging through the snow, we are, after a lot of deliberation, excited to announce that Blip Festival New York's position on the calendar year is officially being moved to the late spring, from 2011 onward. Understanding the place the Blip Festival event series has come to hold in the international chipmusic community, this was of course not a casual decision -- in fact we feel genuinely privileged that it's become an event of enough significance that it's begun influencing peoples' annual travel planning. So in considering everything as carefully as we could, we kept returning to the obvious benefits of moving Blip -- not only placing it into a warmer season, but also extricating it from the awkward school/holiday spot it'd become uncomfortably sandwiched into. Plus, warmer weather opens up potential options left previously unexplored (ever tried an open-air event in mid-December? Just sayin'). So the next New York edition will have a little more room to
breathe, unburdened by parkas, and the calendar relocation will enable us to focus our undivided resources and throw a rock-solid event. Stay tuned for specific details and dates, and in the meantime, keep your late May 2011 clear.

haha, thanks for the kind words!

What basically happened was: After Edward Shallow had done his "official" busking on the Royal Mile, we had a few hours left before the soundcheck, so we decided to do some unofficial busking, mostly as promo for the show. We went to a square which had a second hand marketplace going on, which seemed like a nice place for some busking - I've got some awesome shots of performers with Edinburgh Castle in the background, will upload soon!

Edward Shallow and Sycamore Drive managed to busk a few tunes with no issues, a few people watching and asking what it was about. I then went on to do my first track, and before I could finish the woman in the video was claiming to be 'in charge' of the marketplace (in a public area?) - I was, trying to be as polite as possible, asking for some sort of identification, as she could have been anyone, and as far I was aware, I was doing nothing wrong. I was also politely requesting that I finish my song, and then I would stop for the time being.

However, she wouldn't have any of this. I was still asking for some sort of ID, but she didn't have any (yet was still claiming to be in charge - a bit odd of her to have no official ID, right?) - then the man came over and touched Edward Shallow's private property (his cable and amplifier) - possibly the most illegal act of the video.

Note - just to the right of what was being filmed, there was an official warden (with flourescent jacket and ID) who was very polite and professional about it all, politely asking us to stop and move along (you can see her towards the end of the video). I have no issue with the woman talking to me, but the man who touched Edward's cable/amp was, to put it as politely as possible, a total tool. I was also called a "cheeky bugger" by the woman in the video!

We then later went to a park by a row of shops, and busked for an hour or two with no issues whatsoever!

EDIT - for Engrish collections, I dun goofed
