For New York Street Performers

For New York Street Performers
I've set up a website for street performers and street artists in New York City, to help them expand their audiences past the edge of the sidewalk. They can upload their own profiles and media, network, and see what others are up to. Tourists can also see it. It's a free space, with no membership fees. I'm interested in finding how the site could improve. At the moment I'm riding around on a bicycle recording them, then uploading them to the site. I just feel that it could be better. However, I have a $0 budget. Hope you enjoy it, and looking forward to your responses.

Hey omnigut,

Great site!! And long overdue....I was just thinking that NYC needed such a thing myself - more just as a way to highlight the incredible performers we've got here. So I went out and shot one myself last week.

Check it out!

Hey, great video. I'm going to embed it on the website. Any idea who these guys were? Also, the end of the video sent me to "plasticarmy.com" — is that your site?

2nd, the video has great quality. Straight upload to youtube?

3rd, Contact me if you'd like to do more of this stuff. Because the talent out there is as good as these guys, and always out there...
