Last weekend was the St. Kilda Festival. Blocking off half the neighborhood, the streets were full of entertainment of so much variety. There were buskers of all sorts & multiple stages performing a variety of music & interactive sets. The food booths represented all cultures & there were games to play & sights to see all over. I couldn’t help but compare the festival to Toronto’s “The Ex” back home. Unfortunately, I’ve got to say that I liked this one better. 1) It’s free. 2) There’s actually more food variety (excluding the crazy deep fried foods). 3) The stages! There were at least 5 stages spread out playing different musics all day long. We even got to test out a “silent disco” set up in one of the tents. It sounds a little bizarre dancing around with a group of people wearing headphones but it actually works out pretty well. Three DJ’s play live & its audience gets to skim back & forth between the three music channels through the headphones… It’s perfect for our ADD generation. I have some good videos from that day to mesh together hopefully very soon. Exploring the St. Kilda Festival video is up now. -Cory U PS That giant headphone installation actually played music out of its speakers.
