sibyls in stone

yamamanamait rained early on. It was pouring when I was waiting for the train at JFK/Umass so I was hoping it wasn't going to be pouring when I got to Copley some 30 minutes later. I was wrong. It was pouring there and windy enough to invert my umbrella a few times. Let it be said that umbrellas are nice when it's not too windy.
A Quebecois woman (I'm not sure if she meant Quebec City or just the province) liked my sketches. I didn't really sketch too many people. The woman from Quebec at the beginning of the day. and the woman with a flannel shirt at the end of the day.
The rain didn't help.
More dancing this time, unlike the more subdued Sunday of last year.
A guy's shirt had Darth Vader saying "give me some space." Unfortunately, he missed yesterday's events.
Broadway Revue, like last year, except with more rain and different songs (Somewhere Over The Rainbow, it's funny because Jake Shimabukuro and Angelique Kidjo did that song).
Women Of The World are based in Boston but they come from literally all the corners of the globe, except not really literally because the world is a sphere and has no corners. But the members were from Haiti, Italy, India, and Japan. They need Bulgarians, if you ask me. Axis powers and Haiti (which was pretty much neutral and only declared war in order to strongarm their own people).
Unfortunately, they were a bit short. I believe they sang in Japanese, Kreyol, and Italian. No Saltarelli, thankfully.
Landmarks Orchestra played the Dargasson by Holst, Danny Boy as arranged by Percy Granger, something I couldn't hear the title of, two of Vivaldi's Four Seasons (spring and summer), and Somewhere Over The Rainbow
And it wasn't my imagination, it was really hot in the church.
I always think of When The Saints Go Over There when I hear that song. Also, I was totally right: it's from the episode where Homer ate fugu and thought he was dying and wanted to hear Lisa play the saxophone for the last time.
A Night In Tunisia was really cool.
He scatted a thunderstorm.
I tried to draw Arturo Sandoval but felt a raindrop fall on me and thought "fuck you weather, either rain or don't rain. Geez." I ended up appropriating his hair for sketching a guy on the Green Line.
An a cappella (from the Italian "in the manner of the church," and has nothing to do with goats, unlike Capella. I always always always get the two mixed up. They're also spelt differently) group from the North End who sang some Four Seasons and Temptations and Mack the Knife and Sweet Caroline with their own improvised lyrics. One day I hope to see a Bulgarian choir there. That would be amazing.
Ehrr. I'm trying to find my program. No, it doesn't actually list the side stage, but I remember that Boston Bhangra didn't show up, probably due to the rain delay at the beginning, and Shun Ng played on the stage instead and the a capella group played at the fountain stage.
The bluegrass guy, from Kentucky Thunder or something, talked about growing up on a farm but didn't mention goats. Come on, the reason most people would have farms is so they can have goats. Or that's how it should be.
burning question: how could he not mention goats?
