It's wild how it pops up and disappears. Well not completely disappears because I went back the next day after a show and there was balloon debris and trash littered everywhere.

I have a friend who has seen 100+ shows and he knows people whose identity and lifestyle is following the tour. They scrap to make ends meet and live on the road. A contingent of shakedown merchants fit that profile. Of course, some are there just to make money and don't see the shows. And some probably take turns running the booth while their clan is is at the show that night
