First Skirmish

Today we attempted to begin the turf war downtown. Unfortunately, we got a later start than I had planned, getting down there at around 9:00 AM. The main jackass musician was already there, all his amps and stuff set out. He sat in the middle of it all, reading a newspaper. Brian and I did some performing in other areas, but there weren’t that many people out that early. The new tip containers I bought worked nicely, however, along with the tip signs I put on ‘em…now people just passing by sometimes tip. If the weather is nice on Saturday I will go down there early. If my juggling partners aren’t up in time, I will just go alone, and they can come join me soon enough..we have to get established there somehow before the musicians do.
