Next week as I travel from AZ to the north im stopping in Vegas. I want to bring my dang guitar and sit on a sidewalk somewhere and just play, y'know? And I suck! I won't make a penny! Haha, but im gonna have fun doing it.

Thoughts? Feelings? Comments? Busking experiences?

Any requests? My setlist includes some of the following:

Zombie-Cranberries
But Tonight we Dance-Rise Against
Jolene-Dolly
Miles Away-Years Around the Sun
The Unforgiven 2-Metallica
Im Yours-Jason Mraz
Like a Stone-Audioslave
Rolling in the Deep-Adele
Kids Arent Alright- Offspring

ect.

Im trying to think of happier songs, but I fell in love with minor chords a long time ago.

no pun intended

Do you know anything about Vegas? I assuming you would be doing this in old downtown area? There's not really much street life in Vegas that I know of.

Also it's going to be 100 degrees for five days straight. Are you used to the heat?

I am headed to the strip, which is technically Clarkson County and not Vegas... im hitting it on a weekend, and the rules are simply "do not impede traffic (foot traffic included)". In the rest of Nevada you gotta stay 20' away from junk like doors of businesses and yada yada... but the Strip is more lenient.

Aaaaaaaand im from Idaho but lived in Mesa AZ for the past few years, I got the heat. Good heads up tho! :cheers:


And yes, I will post video.
