Day 2: Into the Darkness

So this afternoon, I decided to go out and play in Harvard Square. It was a beautiful afternoon, and that meant two things: lots of people who were happy to give me their money, and lots of people competing with me. I inadvertently kicked a guy out who was playing acoustic guitar down the street and got drowned out (sorry dude). Some guy yelled out the last line of "Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade (I think he was making fun of me). Then he yelled out to everyone in the vicinity that "You should give this kid money. If you don't, you're a bad person." He then left, then laughing, returned a minute later to drop some money into my bin. He said he'd return with a ten dollar bill, but he never did. A group of people liked my version of "Viva La Vida" (by Coldplay) so much that they stuck around for more. They asked me to play "Hey There Delilah," but I don't know that song. They were very disappointed. I played from 5:30 to 8 PM, and by the time I stopped, it was quite dark, and I could barely see my guitar.
