Musicians...

[Daniel Mooncalf]

Some of the musician buskers are quite good, but they net, I bet, $20-30 a night.

How does a sax player rake in as much as I do? I thought I'd pass on wisdom... I'm naive that way.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I played my banjo at Westport and I broke a hundred nearly every nite. It was great except for that guy that broke out a car load of amps on the corner were I was working pointed them right at me turned the volume up to 10 and said excuse me but this is my spot! #@$$%&&@#&$. Do you know that guy?

Lawrence

I also worked down by the university in Lawrence for lunch and in the afternoon and did pretty good.

[Daniel Mooncalf]

No, I don't know that guy...

dupe post...

[Daniel Mooncalf]

No, I don't know that guy...

I'm surprised he hasn't gotten beat down for that kinda stunt.

Tonight was interesting.. There were four entertainers in a line on the same strip in the plaza, and it felt really good. I wish there was a steady place around here with regular performers... I quite enjoyed sharing the stage... Even the assholes with the amp didn't hurt my show.

I tried Lawrence last night... Way better than any spot in KC.

plaza

Where is the plaza?

[Daniel Mooncalf]

Nichol's plaza...

47th and Central, KCMO...

IT's okay. Sometimes security thinks they need to roust someone, but they really don't have the power to do so.

West Port

It's been awhile sense I worked there but best I remember I worked on 44th st and ?. Is that kinda the same area? It seems that it was called West Port

[Daniel Mooncalf]

It's really close...

Different area... Westport is more of a party area, and Plaza, a mid-upper scale shopping area.

the plaza

Oh, thanks for the imfo. Do you have to have permission or a permit to work there, can one just show up there as a traveling busker?

[Daniel Mooncalf]

Well...

Plaza likes to TRY to tell people to leave, once in a while (especially if it's a new security guard).


If you don't take up a lot of space, are not blocking sidewalk traffic (There are no circle show spots here), and not blasting an amp, you should be okay.


No permits or permission is required.
