    Hi! I'm one of the buskers at the Market; and this is the first I've heard about proposed changes in performer rules (in your Google RSS module). Guess I really ought to make it official and join the Pike Market Performers' Guild, so I can keep up with all the bureaucratic BS...Anyway, thanks for this lens!
