Had to choose between a tripod and a monopod for a night shoot downtown

I was shooting some street scenes after dark near the fountain at Pioneer Square and couldn't decide what to bring. Ended up going with the monopod because I figured I'd be moving around a lot between buskers and lit up windows. Honestly it was a good call, got some sharp shots at 1/30 shutter speed and my arms didn't get tired lugging the big tripod around. Has anyone else found monopods work better for quick setups in crowded spots?

Right, because who needs steady hands anyway?
