The Advice People

The Advice People is a blend of street theater, very cheap “therapy,” and compassionate community building. Modeled after Lucy van Pelt’s “Psychiatric Help” stand, from the Peanuts comic strip, the Advice People offer advice for a nickel, or whatever you think it’s worth.  Customers can step up, toss whatever coins they’d like in the can, and share their question, problem, issue or dilemma. The two advisors collaborate (or disagree!) on a suggestion of what to do. They’ve been called “eerily intuitive,” “incredibly helpful” and “worth way, way more than a nickel.” Website: http://www.amysalloway.com/The_Advice_People.html
