K&W in Laguna Beach -- Sunday, 23July2017

Tom (of the "Tommies, our rival street band) has somehow decided that Warren has slighted him in some way(s), so he's abdicated our "every other weekend" deal and is monopolizing The Corner almost every night, but especially weekends. To try to "fight back", we decided to play on the opposite corner, but I don't think it worked. His novelty act (his young daughter and him) somehow trumps our good music one, and they get all the tourist attention. It's depressing and humiliating.

To make it worse, the homeless guys have somewhat gotten the word that they're not welcome on The Real Corner so they tend to hang out opposite, which is great when we're there, but in this case, it meant that we were plagued by three of four of them all night.

We did rope in a small family and I played kids' songs and let the little girls sing along with my toy microphone. That was big fun while it lasted.

And our old friend "Silly Patty" came by for a while, and since I had no audience to service, I got to talk to her for a while.

So, all in all, a pretty awful night -- but they can't all be winners, right?
