The Santa Monica Promenade

That video of all the street musicians is awesome. It was really a trip to see the santa monica spot, because we got a permit, and performed down there exactly: one time. You really have to have some cahunas to be a part of that scene, and it wasn't something we pursued. The hardest part is figuring out power for your p.a. I bought a small power pack, and it died on me after 1/2 hour. I realized it wasn't the right thing. Other guys have these car battery setups and stuff. Very innovative. You have to also be very aggressive to get your crowds, or have an act that is really magnetic in some way. People didn't stop for us. Then this chick named Myla Poole stopped and wanted Shelley to play the blues on her guitar so she could impress the gal she was with, and sing a song. She said, "I performed at the Money Tree where Jeff Goldblum and famous actors were in the audience going crazy, and blah blah blah. We were too nice to tell her to go away, so we let her sing this song. She was terrible of course. LA has about 2million of it's population of Myla Pooles.
