A night or two ago I was on the express train, either the 4 or 5 (they run the same track), heading to Union Square, and this guy announced that he was going to give us a performance. He reached into a plastic bag on the floor and turned on his radio. Then he did some gymnastics and dancing using the bars in the train that you’re meant to hold onto. I was a bit worried that he might accidentally kick someone in the head, maybe me since I was sitting so close. He pulled it off without incident though, and it was definitely entertaining after a long day, so when he asked for a handout afterwards, quite a few people gave him some change. I gave him a dollar.
I never hand out money to beggars, because it annoys me and there are plenty of social programs to help them get a job, but I don’t mind handing out a little cash to someone that’s working for it, even if it’s just a minute long show on a subway train.

The trains are always really noisy here in NYC. When they come into the station you couldn't hardly hear someone next to you if they were yelling.That was the one part that shocked me the most too. I don't know how he did that…
