  FILE - In this photo taken Feb. 12, 2010, musician Harry Perry, twangs an electric guitar as he rollerblades up and down the Venice Beach boardwalk garbed in a turban and tunic in Los Angeles.

An afternoon stroll down 11Ž2-mile Ocean Front Walk will take people past one of the most colorful collections of skateboarders, street artists, fortune tellers, jugglers, mimes, acrobats, unicycle riders, actors, dancers, musicians, street preachers and armchair philosophers found anywhere in the United States.(AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, FILE)
