*austin busking*

“fall 2012”
(reincarnated as ‘busker’)

(“busking 101”)

(when i flew to ‘austin’ in ‘november 2012’ for a ‘movie shoot’, i busked in ‘downtown austin’ several nights to more ‘positive feedback’ + a bit of $ earned)

(the only restriction i faced was not to busk in front of certain ‘bars’)

(out goes my “rockwood music hall” guerrilla attack plan!)

(so i took the “‘east 45th’ + ‘duval'” bus down to ‘east 6th’ + ‘congress’ (sliding my ‘dollar bill’ through the ‘machine’)
(cheaper than “NYC bus fare”)

there are separate “northbound” and “southbound” bus stops in ‘austin’ (though none of them are marked as such))

(i didn’t collect a dime ‘busking’)

(i ended up giving 2 cigarettes to the same black beggar as well as another cigarette to the sole white busker “gregory” (he in turn granted me a few drags of his ‘rolled cigarette’)

(4 police officers gathered on one corner told me to “take it somewhere else”)

(‘gregory’ warned me that buskers could technically be arrested for “blocking thruways”)

(in most cases i was drowned out by the music in the ‘bars’ + ‘clubs’ anyway)

(i took the “night owl” bus (which was not on the schedule) back to “45th and guadalupe” around 1:30am and walked several blocks east back to mark’s house)

(at least my vocals were in top form)

(i should go back to 6th street tonight and hand out some CDs…)

(why has it always been so hard for me to book a live show with any sort of ‘audience’?)
