First Fridays in Phoenix are quite exciting, it turns into a small street festival even without closing the street down, I looped some jams with the loopstation for close to 5 hours in a few different spots. The rig is surprisingly mobile as well as stable without ever having to turn the power off, although the ability to maintain tempo/song structure while battling other musics’ bpm playing in the area is something that needs to be worked on. 

We’ll be downtown for First Fridays every month either as a busker/performer or a vendor, or sometimes both. As of now we aren’t making much money busking or vending but the experience is important as both are entirely new ventures in terms of business and as an individual artist – we’re focusing more on streamlining the transporting of equipment/items, setting up, managing with the crowds and stimuli of public places, then packing up and heading out. We won’t expect to make much money until these things are a little more set up and developed, but we’re on the right track.
