I shouldn't forget the little people who made it all possible. Seana and I have been spending most nights busking on the streets of San Francisco. While the downsides of such public displays of musicality are many when compared to open mic nights (people purposefully knocking over your change bowl, interference by police, etc.) the upsides are far greater (unlimited set length, making money, did I mention unlimited set length?). If you insist on basking in the warmth and safety of an established environment, you could do worse than The Starry Plough (free), Blake's ($2), or The Hotel Utah (free). I only performed there once, but the acoustics and atmosphere are to die for at The Freight & Salvage ($5), even if they only permit you to play one song.
