Loop Busking (was re: Battery Powered etc...)

Hot damn...

I've been wanting to busk for years, but continually agonizing over what
and how... You've just convinced me not to sell my DL-4. I recently had a
party during which I broke out my looping gear and had some 'existential
poetry kareoke" during which I stuck a mic in the mixer and a friend
whipped out his flute and notebook. We proceeded to 'kick it beatnik
style'. We were all a bit too drunk for it to sound like anything decent,
but it was fun incorporating voices and such into the loop. I think
something similar might go down well on the streets... 'Sample the Crowd'
as it were...

Anyway, rambling aside, does anyone have experience/advice loopbusking? I
know a lot of you have been to Burning man, but how about looping for
quarters on the mean streets of (insert urban area here)?
