I am going to go ahead and perform a socialogical experiment. Here's the setup.

I am going to make a sandwhich board sign that explains my situation, and that asks for charity, alms, donations.

Similar in concept to the signs that some bums use that is to the effect of:
"Need money for booze and cigarettes. Hey, at least I'm not lying!"

Except my sign will be asking for money to make bills, and feed myself. Complete with the optimal amount of cash to make Rent, PG&E, Phone, and Food.

I will write on it "This is a socialogical experiment." with an explanation of the details of my situation. Such as my aims. Why I don't have a job, and why I am not at school, or why I am going to school, when and if I am, and what I am going to do with the education I am receiving.

It will show the data collected from the previous days. The amount I've made towards paying the months bills, and the total ammount of money I've made in performing the experiment.

Preferably, I would like to collect statistics on the people who donate. Gender, ammount donated, age, and wheather they are home owners, renters, or other.

I would situate myself downtown with books and other such materials while I work on my various projects, with a card table, a collection container, and the sign next to me.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to conduct this experiment. Perhaps items that I have missed, or angles I have not concidered here. Also, my statistics is a little rusty, same for my demographics. Anyone have anything on those subjects?
