The Hustle November 15, 2007

Today we fly below radar to meet Hustlers: people who earn their living in unusual ways. Julie Napolin talked to a San Francisco drummer who hustles his passion for music on the streets. Winnie Andrews spoke with a former male escort. Kevin Jones went to Golden Gate Fields to ask betters about their strategies, their big wins and the chances of earning a living at the horse track. Eric Zassenhaus spoke with a professional shoplifter, who reveals some of the tricks of the trade. Ben Hubbard found one Bay Area poet who takes his work to the street.
