Buskers and Performers -- I need your help!

[prosicated.livejournal.com]

I noticed in the last post (No Money, No Music) that several of you are, or have been, buskers in the Boston metro area (Cambridge included).

I'm working on an ethnography of street/subway/public performance pre- and post- lawsuit (by the Community Arts Advocates, etc.) on performance spaces and performance regulations, and am seeking some people who'd be willing to talk with me about their experiences performing in the city. Whether you performed for years or just for months, whether you always played at the same spot, or travelled over the whole area, your experience will be helpful.

Ideally, we'd have 2-4 conversations, scheduled and located at your convenience, in which you'd talk with me, annotate a map of the Boston & Cambridge areas with your experience, and then narrate/explain the changes you made to the map for me.

If you're interested in helping out, or just have more questions about my work, reply to this post, or send me an email at prosicated(at)livejournal.com.
