AUSTIN (KXAN) - Grabbing the attention of passersby on East Sixth Street Tuesday, Raul Abishai earned as much money banging his drum before some big event people kept bringing up. "A good night averages $100-$150,” Abishai said. “I have made up to $250 a night."
He had no idea when he got to Austin from Australia a few days ago what SXSW was. Soon, he would be preparing for 30,000 people to swarm his stage in the next few days. "There's no chance of driving down 6th street or probably 4th or 5th," said Stefan Bouts, one man passing the drummer.
"Oh, I'm sure it's going to be crazy,” said Jade White. “It's going to be packed." Nearby businesses have been planning for months – like Daddy's Grill & Bar hiring ten new workers.
