I saw some guy outside barnes and nobles the other day playing some pretty meh guitar but had seemed to get a decent amount of tips. What are your opinions on street performers? Do you tip? Never? Only if they're really good? I think this would be kinda fun, honestly. Not so much for the moneys. gogogo
Partake in my bollocks, bloody chav!

I once tipped a guy playing the harmonica on Thayer St. $20. True story.
Boy, you got me confused with a man who repeats himself.

There are some very capable performers in San Francisco. I've given them money before, but only if I feel entertained. I also gave one guy a buck for his collection for George Bush's LSD enema. Since that was entertaining.

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
