Today, I had the unfortunate experience of playing an entire set without my glasses. They broke the other day, and won't be repaired until at least tomorrow. I decided to play without them, since I may not get another chance until early September, due to vacations. I played from 11:30 to about 1:45 in front of the Coop. The only other "performers" near me were the people from the Bank of America next door, who were doing some sort of promotion, an extremely energetic Greenpeace activist guy, and, near the end, a painter.
One young girl, who was 7 or 8, came up to give me money, but instead of dropping it in the bin, she tried to hand it to me. The problem, of course, was that I was in the middle of a song. After a couple of seconds, her mother directed her to the bin. The girl then proceeded to pose next to me (while I continued singing) as her mother took photos.
I ended up making about $30, which is very good for that time of day and location. I'm really not sure why I made that much, because I messed up several songs, and generally didn't play very well. In any case, if I don't play tomorrow, this will be my last post for a couple of weeks.
