yes i saw him - he was ok - very distinctive voice - sang some old BNL songs - he was wearing some weird pink and baby blue outfit

yeah the food wasn't too bad - the lattes were the same as starbucks anyway and the food I had was $10 plus $2 for the plate which would be refunded - kettle corn was $5 - it wasn't that bad for prices
