Meeting a clown I know at a Swedish festival

I walked past a clown entertaining people in a square. He did all kinds of funny things and made balloon sculptures for children. It turned out to be a guy I know. We often run into each other in a bar where many street performers come to drink, and where I drink because the owner also does some magic. The clown has also been to our magic bar and seen me work there, though he was not in costume at the time.

This was the first time I saw my friend work. He was very entertaining, of course. I was impressed by his ability to communicate without using words. I have a hard time communicating even when using words...
