Day 6: TV, but not much money

I'm a bit late on getting this entry written - I've been working on this remix: .

Yesterday, I was filmed by my school's TV station (of which I'm an employee) while busking, as the closing act for this week's episode of Youth View Cambridge. I played a cover of 30 Seconds to Mars' "Alibi," and I'll post a link once we get it online.

Sadly, the filming was pretty much the only interesting thing that happened yesterday. I made only about $15 over two long hours - this may have to do with the homeless woman standing near me, smoking. I've discovered that when people are smoking near me, my profits go down, as people are less likely to stop and listen. The same woman also asked me to play at her coffee house in Hull, but I declined, because, first of all, it's doubtful whether the place even exists, and secondly, Hull is pretty far from Cambridge.

Overall, a pretty boring time, but still fun. Hopefully, I can start to get out more often as the weather gets warmer and drier.

  1. Ben -- What great experiences for you and how fun for us to be able to peek in on them via your blog! And no other part-time job would give you this kind of freedom :) Keep up the great work!!
