Awesome Guy of the Day

Hollywood and Highland is basically the Times Square of LA. Its where the star walk is, the handprints, the Oscars are held there, characters from movies walk around, there's always a million tourists. It is insano.

So there are usually street performers that hang out there and the other day I was down there and I saw a guy without a shirt on, with bagpipes, and a unicycle. He was trying to get his unicycle and he couldn't so he asked these people in the crowd to come help him. So two guys come over and for about 3 minutes these guys tried to get the bagpiper on the bike. They finally got him on and he made them stand there and hold him up while he played a song. Everybody was laughing at him and then the dog of the one guy started jumping on his owner and the bagpiper. It was hilarious. His one helper walked away and he yelled at him for leaving. Meanwhile the dog is still barking and jumping on them. The bagpiper eventually is able to kind of ride around in a circle and kind of play a song on the bagpipes and then he fell. After 5 minutes of prep time he wobbled on the bike for 30 seconds and fell. Then he asked people for money. Then he mocked people who walked away and didn't give him money. I asked him if he was going to share the money with the guys who held him up and he ignored me. Don't worry I have pictures.




Oh did I forget to tell you he was in a kilt!
