An acquaintance who had Erving Goffman for a class was assigned to do
this at one point (a variation on his "go out and panhandle and see who
you have to become in order to be successful" assignment, I suppose).
I can hardly imagine a less organized group of people than former Barb
hawkers (unless it was the folks who hung out at Pepe's Pizza '64-'67,
the ancestors of the Peoples Park scene).
