I performed directly after school ended today, and I didn't get very long before my brand new batteries just up and died. A very nice man watched my stuff while I bought new ones from the store across the street. Despite the 10 dollar purchase, I still made money, as some girl gave me $20 for playing "Gunslinger" by Avenged Sevenfold. Some crazy, drunk, homeless guy decided to have a shouting match with an invisible friend directly in front of me. I spent the entire five minutes of his ranting trying hard not to laugh while singing. Some other guy came over and sang (rather badly) along to "Chasing Cars," by Snow Patrol. There were lots of little kids today, which I might attribute to the fact that it was 2:30 - 5:15 on a weekday.
Overall, despite the setback of the dead batteries, I made about $30, so about $20 if you subtract the cost of the batteries. Not great, but not terrible, either.
