Busking for First Fridays

I know we've talked about busking on the plaza. How about first fridays? Last time I was out there I noticed there are tons of buskers. I'm not sure of the rules but I'm sure as long as we're not on private property it's fine. Also, my friend Lindsey has a loft across from Birdies, I'm sure she'd let us shake it out front. So who'd like to join me this Friday? I have a thing later that night but it's late later. Also I say we head out early to claim our spot. Musicians...?

      Man, kyrka, I can't believe I forgot to get you that CD. I'm not living in Westport anymore : ( so I'll try and get it out to you this week. Is there anyway to just take the music off a CD and send it via e-mail? Or are the files way too big?

        You could "rip" it to mp3 format, etc.
        The files are certainly too large for email - but I can provide a place you can upload to as well.

        Or, bring it by and I can copy it in about 180 seconds.

      I was just thinking about dragging Anton down adn doing this just he two of us. Serendipity I spose. I think it would be cool to go right outside one of the main galleries, like the Opie or the Leedy/Voulkos. If we get asked to leave, then go someplace less obvious.

        I'm up for wherever. The corner across from the bbq place would be really good. There's a parking lot there I think. We should probably opt for somewhere with room to move a little. There's also a grass spot with a tree and everything over by Opie where I saw an awful band once. It would be perfect, but I imagine we have to get there early to snag it. Do we just want to meet up somewhere?

        Lindsey's would be a last resort. There's quite a bit of traffic over there as well but it's sidewalk and gets so crowded.

            At this point I'm not sure how late. So guys, when/where do you want to meet? I talked with Lindsey last night and she said definitely we can perform in front of her place if we want, but I'd like to try my luck on a different corner first. I'm not sure what time the buskers take over, but I would guess we need to be there no later than 6. So who's in and the question above?

      I don't know what time I'll be off work, so without a definite destination to aim for directly after work, I'm not certain I can do this. I don't want to try to find parking and fight with crowds if I'm not there early and coming home after work to check for location is likely gonna keep me from being early. I had another drummer wanting details to get there, too, and won't have time to relay those.

      Ah, well, there'll be more opportunities to play.
