i was reading the venice beach vending application.. yea, there's a necessary permit to vend on venice beach. i have mix feelings towards this permit, but i guess if you'd like to view it in a constructive way, it does keep the beach organized. but if you view it in a liberal way, it's reforming, and hypocritical to censor someone's personal expression.. you have to admit that most of the people vending are homeless or living on a lower income, just trying to earn their money in an honest way.. and then there the others trying to make a name for themselves. so why put a price on expression?
anywho.. all i'm trying to say is, give an artist a break. it's hard enough traditional mediums aren't cutting it. :[
