Day 5: This is what they call "average"

Today was a fairly average day of busking for me. Of course, what that means is people heckling me, giving me weird looks, buying me bottles of water randomly, and giving me $20 bills.

I started right after school, and was set up by 3 PM. Right off the bat, someone (I didn't see who) gave me a $20 bill for playing "High and Dry" by Radiohead. Or at least I think that's why. It could have just been a parent who saw a kid and said "that could be my son," or it could have been someone I know. In other notes, a really nice guy bought me a bottle of water, unprompted, because he saw that I was sweating and starting to lose my voice. A couple of people heckled me, singing along mockingly when I was playing "Glycerine," by Bush, and "Day I Die," by Story of the Year (both were radio hits a while back). I've noticed it's always overly muscled college students (always guys) who do this sort of heckling, though I have no idea why that is.

Somewhere along the way, someone else gave me a $20 bill, bringing today's total to about $55 for two hours - not bad at all.
