Checking the festival's schedule this afternoon, I noticed that there was something happening a few blocks away.  Off I went, stopping to get some green tea along the way.  When I got to Sutter & Post (the intersection noted as the location for the performance) there were a few other people waiting around for it, in addition to the crowds that are out here on any given Sunday.  When Sisyphus came into view, I crossed the street to take a (poor) photo with my phone.

I'm guessing that Sisyphus is British, based on his accent (not that he spoke much), hat, and dress.  The boulder's gotta be hollow/Styrofoam/something lightweight, though the performer does a good job of pretending otherwise.  He peeked into the windows of Lori's Diner as he passed by it.  I wish I could've seen the expressions on the face of those patrons who caught a glimpse of him rolling by.  Then he took out his map and looked at it.  By the time I took the second photo, I had noticed that there was a luggage tag like that kind that airports affix to suitcases stuck on the bottom of the boulder.  Ha!  This was about an hour and a half ago.

I'm back from an evening performance.  Wanted to get on the Mexican Bus - maybe later this week.  But tonight was for Flamenco con Fusion.  Very cool.
