Unplugged in Peidmont

Something I've wanted to do for a while (and by a while I mean for the past 8 years or so) is to grab a guitar, maybe some kind of pot or something to drum with, get a couple people together and go to a street corner or park and play a set of about 10 songs or so kind of like a street performer.

At one point I'd had the thought to dress in ratty clothes as if I were homeless or something like that, but I can imagine the legitimate homeless people may have an issue with that. Although, I'd also had the though to put out a tip jar or whatever and donate anything people put in it to a homeless guy.

Anyway, I've decided that since summer is here, I'm gonna do it. I've been toying around with some easy songs that I both enjoy and can play on guitar. I've got about 13 songs together and now I just need some willing volunteers to give it a go with me. I'm definitely no Rex Burk when it comes to guitar but I think I can carry these songs, so if you are interested in flirting with some public performance anxiety, I'm looking at hitting up Peidmont Park or a similar venue sometime in the next month or so.

This list may change, but here's what I've got so far:

• "Use Your Love" - The Outfield
• "Hey Jealousy" - Gin Blossoms
• "Poker Face" - Lady GaGa
• "Gives You Hell" - All-American Rejects
• "Novacaine" - Green Day
• "The Pretender" - Foo Fighters
• "Circus" - Britney Spears
• "Cry for You" - September
• "I Kissed A Girl" - Katy Perry
• "Original Prankster" - Foo Fighters
• "Hey There Delilah" - Plain White Tees
• "Boom Boom Pow" - Black Eyed Peas
• "One of the Boys" - Katy Perry
• "Live Your Life" - T.I. & Rihanna

So let me know if you are interested. Also, if you know how to play any instrument, that'd be helpful too. I can write out music for pretty much anything. Guitar, flute, french horn, a pair of spoons, anything. We don't really have to be good, it's all just for fun. Leave me a comment if you live in the Atlanta area and are interested.
