FlickR Album: Buskers 2008-08-20
These are pictures I took of a gathering of buskers and city representitives, to discuss new rules for buskers in Calgary. It was held at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary to let people know that buskers can now legally perform in far more places, and without requiring a permit or payment of fees. There was a mix of announcements, discussion, and performance. More information is available on Facebook in the group called "The Calgary Buskers/Street Performers Community".

Stephanie Norn was one of the buskers who spoke at the gathering. Stephenie, a professional circus performer, argued that properly qualified people, like herself, should be able to do more dangerous acts, like fire-eating, provided they meet appropriate requirements, such as proper insurance. She came dressed as her persona "Stephanie Spark".
