Illegal as hell, but these days I don't think anyone cares. <br /><br />As I keep saying, busking is a game of sheer hours, and the more hours you can be out there, the better. More hours = more people who see you; who cares about what you're playing, they see you and a certain percentage will feel like tossing you a buck. <br /><br />4-hour nights at $20 an hour would make you $80 a day, simple math, and a bit over 2X what I make now in "silicon valley". Oh, and you have a flush toilet and running water and all sorts of things probably 25% of the population out here don't have, because 10% are literally living on the street and the remaining are living in cars, garages, sheds, storage buildings, etc. I think the high percentage of poverty out here is because there's more tech out here, and I think I have finally figured out that tech has one primary purpose: to vacuum money out of people's pockets. <br /><br />Normally I'd consider your portraits of Rose and Ed to be amateur and thus uglier than they really look, but from what you've said about them, I'd wager that's exactly how they look!<br /><br />If I were you I'd just swear I busked 30 hours a week, to keep on food stamps. Only problem is, if you work at all, they like to cut you down to about $10 a month, but it may still be worth it if it means you've got your free apartment. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.com
