The Customer Is Always Wrong

Yesterday seemed to be all about money. In the morning I found an action that I like as it is simple and gets to the point. It can combine well with others. In the evening I went to the lantern festival closing night and whilst most of it was quite similar to what I had seen previously, I did come across a very amusing art auction in a small marquee. It looked like a market trader style auction and the seller had a good rhythm and patter. The crowd were more entertained by him than they were serious about buying the various prints and fans. I made a short video of it which seemed to adapt better with the harsh lighting but I cannot post it for now. It gave me the thought that maybe I should sell something too, in my performance. I like the salesmen with their portable hands free amplification and now I have a little one of my own I feel I can compete on the marketplace. It is small but really rather loud, I’ll be doing some sound checks in the coming days. Oh and finally I cracked and bought some rabbit ears for 5 yuan (£0.50). I don’t know how long they will last and maybe they will find a way into the performance or else make a present.
