Hmm, haven't thought about busking, but you could get shit loads of candy from the bead throwers. Shit, i would find a food tent that needs help and talk em into paying ya. Or even one of those rich fuckers that don't wanna get up, give em the food, keep the change. Hell, the amount of beads you get and could sell back to a shop near Bayshore Blvd. for a few $.
But anyways, There's gonna be thousands, if not hundreds of thousands at each of the parades, so there's money for sure. Just gotta have the right mindset.
