4 days = $400

Took awhile to write about it (Okay, a whole week!)

But last week I made a fat load of $400 doing extra work in Hollywood.

By far the easiest job in the entire fucking world.

The food was amazing; catered quality fit for damn royalty (that guy who cuts beef at buffets was there).

Also, the holding area for all the extras, (where you can just hang out, socialize, read a book, do-whatever-you-feel-like-doing time) contained all you can eat fruit (I had 5 fucking awesome bananas in one day) nut bars, miniature bottles of Gatorade and all the flavored juices known to man.

All Food: Free.

So I spent the majority of my time in the holding area, meeting amazing people--thinking to myself "Holy shit, there are still awesome people who live out there and I don't even know they exist yet!" Very friendly people, all with their own stories to tell.

So being the nerd I am, I busted out Apples to Apples from my car, and ended up playing with a bunch of 20+ year olds the all too enjoyable game.

Oh by the way, we were all getting paid 8 an hour while we played this game.

Heck, I would hardly call this "job" work. All I did was socialize, read my book, and got to be one of the background high school kids in an upcoming movie starring Steve Carrel.

Will-Kid, you're bragging like a fatass who just ate too much cake.

Yea, well it was amazing cake. ...with some catch
The downside:

I didn't take a shower in 3 days.

I would drive all the way to hollywood at 4AM in the morning, and drive back around 10PM, go to sleep, get about 5 hours of sleep, wake up at 4AM again and rinse and repeat over the course of the 3 day shoot. I simply didn't have the damn time to take a shower. What I should have done was make a friend who lived in the area and crashed there (that's what one of my friends there did, one who obviously thinks smarter than I).

A little stress, but that meant 10 hours+ of hanging out, being on set, and walking around "pretending" to be a high school boy.

If you're ever interested in trying any of this out, just be forewarned of the $ it costs for gas to drive all the way up there--and did I mention--driving in the insane streets in hollywood renders you a fearless driver.

Central Casting. 95% of extras you see in movies, television shows, etc. are all brought in by Central Casting, if you're ever interested in trying this out.

Toodles poodles...
