The weather is critical for SpandyAndy’s street show. Today I decided to go to Vancouver Art Gallery, because as you know, I can’t go to English Bay anymore. (post: Van Park Danger). Once I arrived everything was working out well. The weather was ok, and there were people gathering on the steps to watch.

During the show a man actually came over to the boombox to turn it down. I turned it down and it was greeted with a loud “BOOO!”. I turned it back up and switched it to the the track “What is Love!”. Then I battled him the only way SpandyAndy can, through dance. (previous battle: SpandyAndy vs. Van Park Danger)

Then the Rain came. The boombox was getting wet, so I had to stop the show. I ran for cover after collecting a little bit of change and packed up. On my walk home the weather cleared a bit. I decided to throw down the box and do a little dance, not for money, just promo. All the sudden my boombox was dead. It wouldn’t do anything. I replaced the batteries with fresh ones and still nothing.

I’m currently letting the boombox dry and hoping for the best. All in all, SpandyAndy has learnt how critical the weather is for his street business. If anyone knows of any indoor or rain protected, high traffic areas, let me know!
