Spend a day as a street performer.

“As it was my first time playing on the street, i wanted to follow the rules, not rustling any feathers or getting myself a fine straight away, i also did not want to say something or go into any kind of conflict over such an issue. In the end i got to a place, which was barely still in the area i was allowed to play in and seemed to be my only choice within the confines of the designated area. Only that it was very close to a crosswalk and obstructed in one direction by a street lamp, with really no space for people to stop without standing in the way. [...] Playing was less enjoyable than at home, as the dynamics and overtones are much less noticeable/hearable within the sounds of such an environment. [...] I expected nothing and left kinda depressed.”

“Earlier I tried busking in a park, public place but before I set my materials I ask the officers if it’s okay. Normally it’s not because I need a permit but I did not know that. However, since I’m a student and already have my materials with me I ask if I can just set up for only 2 hrs or even just 1 and half hours. The officer was kind to give me a spot where I can stay for 1hr and half hour then the seller beside me was so rude. She was always asking me what time should I leave [...] I only painted 2 kids and I was nervous it’s my first time doing that plus I don’t have price I only have tip box. After the second kid I left because I can’t take it and I can’t concentrate.”
