How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #4, Outside Caritas, 06.14.06, Afternoon
GOB was waiting for his students outside Caritas this afternoon. Whether this was planned or a result of the ongoing zombie strike, he wasn't saying.
"You know those jerks you see around when you're walking in cities? The ones playing saxophone, or beating a bunch of buckets like they're drums, or singing way off-key thinking they're so special, or miming? They're street performers, a special kind of cheap performance whore that thinks they're so good that they can give it up in public in the hopes that a lot of people will donate a couple bucks."
"This week, you're going to be those jerks. Find something you're good at. Or something you think you're good at, but you're actually delusional. Then get out in public and force that performance on people. Get to the park and sing, or play guitar, or do stand up comedy, or play saxophone, whatever, I don't really care."
GOB indicated several cases off to the side. "Since the Zombie Band is on strike, I had Tino borrow their instruments. Including a saxophone, not like that jackass is getting one. Feel free to use any of them for this. But no miming. You mime and Tino punches you. Got it?"
"Figure out what you'll be doing and practice right out here today, hit the public at some point in the next week, report back next Wednesday. Oh, and do the same at the Art Fair on Friday. Bug people there if you can make it."
"And since today's my birthday, I'm claiming fifteen percent of any tips you get from your performing. Okay, get going. Figure out your schtick."

Re: OOC [WS4]
And how much can I love you for bringing in an opportunity to be a mime?
