You just have to take the good with the bad (or, in this case, the extraordinary with the mediocre).
That sounds very cool! I've also seen some pretty good or interesting ones in various places...
Some street performers can be very good & entertaining but something reminded me of this annoying, whistling guy from Vienna recently and I thought it made for a funny post.
Street performers don't particularly bother me, (I live in NY and they are a dime a dozen) asides from when I am on the train and a 3-4 pieces mariachi band comes on blasting their music, leaving you with a massive headache that lasts for the 40 minute train ride!
