Just thoughts for after Gen Cons. Certain other skills lend themselves to Day Job style applications. For instance Handle Animal or Sleight of Hand. Of course I recognize the Day Job part may be more acknowledgement for those of us who choose to invest in a skill that will see little use in session.

I'm also plan to go with Performance Artist.
Although I'm not a bard, nor am that charismatic which means I'm looking at +8 bonus for my day job.
I am a fighter though, so I should be relatively good at that even though I can play a happy tune. Though, my low number of skill points, and low intelligence means that I haven't put any skill points anywhere else yet.

Taldorian bard --> skill ranks (4) + CHA (3) + skill focus (3) + performance artist (5) + masterwork hurdy-gurdy (2) = 17 = min 10gp, max 100gp, average 52.25gp
+4 CHA bumps the average to 56.75, 61.25 at 2nd level.
Why bother adventuring! :)
Makes me worry if Taldor is entirely a nation of wealthy bards. Someone will have to do the fighting around here.
Hire mercenaries.
Or even bribe the party fighter to act as a bodyguard for you.Makes me worry if Taldor is entirely a nation of wealthy bards. Someone will have to do the fighting around here.Hire mercenaries.
That doesn't help if you have a party of 6 wealthy bards. ;-)

Luckily, in another thread (I forget which one), Josh said that marshalling for events will split the players by arcane caster, healer, fighter, etc., to help make balanced groups. If you're running the mods at home or a local game store, you might have slimmer pickings if everyone insists on playing bards. (Then again, Hideous Laughter pretty much is SoD at low levels - maybe you'd do great!)
