Shakedown Street 

The strip of vendors outside of a concert in the parking lot, usually defined by their tailgate style tents. Common things sold are food, tye-dye, patchwork clothing and bags, tapestries and incense. The term comes from the so-named Grateful Dead song, because so many vendors found their place at Grateful Dead shows in their lot scene.
Did you try the veggie burritos from Shakedown Street before the show?

Shanty Shakedown 

The act in which a coke whore or any cocaine addicted female places a generous amount of cocaine on the tip of the males penis. The female relentlessly likes the tip of the penis dousing the dick in saliva and cocaine. The man can then last extended amounts of time while plowing his coke whore girl friend. When the man finally finishes he feeds the female a heavy dose of cum and cocaine mixture by placing his cocaine induced load on the tip of her tongue thus sharing his load with his mate as they both experience a numbing sensation in their genitalia.
The sweet indian girl gave her white nympho boyfriend a Shanty Shakedown. sex lasted for 2 numbing hours.
