I agree with Big Jim (I think). If I'm getting paid, I won't put out the Ugly Orange Bucket. Only exception I've made is when we played the Manzanita Farmer's Market a week ago; we were being paid, but the organizers put out a tipjar and told the audience it was for the band. It wasn't attention-getting, so at the first break I went out to the truck and got the Ugly Orange Bucket and people started throwing money in it. But normally I wouldn't have the bucket out if I was getting paid.
