busking

Hey yall, it was great seeing all of you at the Pedalpalooze kickoff parade last night.
I sure am sore from riding so hard, more riding to come.
I'm about to head out into Portland with Ood and Ace, we are bringing some tricks, some comedy and tall bikes to try and eek out a living from one of the hardest busking towns I have ever seen.
People like what we do but don't know that we are doing it for tips.
Because you dialed into the old Dizmal Digest, I'll give you the skinny on how we operate.
First we cruz crowded places waving and making fun,
The whole way people hoot and yell nice stuff at us, often they know our character names and yell that out, thats an always thing, I'm waiting to see at least 10 people looking at us.
As soon as one of the guys sees a camera come out then we know it's time to stop.
I break out the banjo and start playing speed metal or clownabilly style to the guys juggling, if the crowd is older I do ragtime or blue grass.
We go through some clowning and tricks until one of many finales (they depend on the terrain)and then ask for money.
wish us luck.
then tonight BIKE PORN at the Clinton Theatre
