We love this Bele Chere scene for many reasons. Let us try to explain.

First, this was the freakiest street act all weekend. The costumes - perfect shabby chic. The act - bizzaro. These two combined fiddle playing and banjo pickin’ with some acrobatics and a poem. They weren’t that good, but you could feel the fun they were having.

Finally, look at the people around them. See the lady on the right walking by. She’s like, “WTF?” Then there’s the dude standing against the wall with his beer getting an eyeful of crotch. In the foreground, there’s the stray instrument and the ever present money hat.

This is Bele Chere, folks. Hell, this is Ashvegas. These street acts don’t just show up for the weekend party. They’re out working the city streets every weekend. That’s what makes this town great.
