O-gull-ing at the Fringe

Let's face it, who amongst us hasn't wanted to paint themselves gold and sit on the Royal Mile with a fake seagull on their head? I know I have.
Well, here's a man living the dream
The spooky thing is I have a half finished short story about a man painted gold with a seagull on his head - I think this may be an omen that I should finish it. Not that it's likely to make me any money and so next year I am going to paint myself silver and sit on the Royal Mile with a stuffed badger on my head. Anyone care to join me?
