It was a very dissapointing starting of the day since the Buskers Festival
did not have many performances for the rain.
We went to the Historic Property a little after 12pm when we were supposed
to hear the energetic sound of "Squid" as well as the exciting cheer of
the audience.

In stead, we saw empty seats and empty stage.
Nobody except for a couple of volunteer people.
They told us performances were not to start until 1pm.
We still wanted to know if the performer of 12pm would be playing at 1pm
on delayed schedule, however, the volunteer people didn't know who was going
to play or even if anybody would be playing in that rain.

After woundering a little bit around there hoping the members of Squid
show up, we dicided to go back to the car.
Since our car was parked @ the parking lot across from Farmers Market,
we went through all the Buskers Festival Stages.

And...the very lucky incident happened to us.
My daughter who has very bad eye power happened to find the members of
Squid just before the stage near the Summit Place when we were almost
passing by them.
To tell the truth, from the distance I happened to find Team Ryouko who
were testing if the performance could be done in the rain and I was watching
them when we passed by our Very Important People.
Thank God, and to my daughter, we did not miss that chance!!

I asked to the members if they were playing, but they were not sure and
said it was up to the weather.
Of course, I understand that playing in the rain is spoiling the instruments,
and it is not wise to take that risk when the audience could not cover the
cost of damage.
When you are professional, you have to think of all those thing.

I did not want to spoil this chance though, I asked if it was OK to take
their photos with my kids.
Since there are not many people around, they gave some of their time for
us to take photos.
It would have been harder if there were many fans around like just after
their performance.
I took 2 pictures somehow, although I was a little too excited about that
lucky incident.

I am not sure if they played for 10pm performance.
Maybe they did because it was not raining around our house.
We could not have the excitement for Squid sound today, but the lucky
thing had made our day!!

We are going tomorrow for sure, probably twice: one in the early afternoon
and one after supper.
We will enjoy them as much as possible during the Buskers, and after that,
we will still have fun with their DVD which we already enjoyed a lot
yesterday.

I also have to check Neptune Theatre for the next year's Evolution.
I did check the website if I could buy the tickets on-line, but I did not
see that option.
I will go check @ the theatre anyway as soon as possible.
I hope there are still good seats left.
