Productions Don't Like Phone Sex

What's new in this world? For one, I got a paying gig. Nothing fancy, and nothing in L.A. Shock of shocks, I somehow scrounged up some work in Seattle for a couple days. Just some P.A. stuff working for Red Bull's Soap Box Seattle.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't $150/day the standard? I guess Seattle rates are different. And by different, I mean worse.

I wonder if the only reason I got the job was because of my area code. Over at John August's blog, some guy breaking his way into Hollywood said there's digit discrimination. Will my 206 be a dead weight down there?

I guess I can see it. A foreign area code suggests someone who's recently moved in, or, worse, hasn't moved yet. A local code conveys stability, security, someone who's there to cup your balls.

To someone staffing up a crew, 206 looks like a long distance relationship. 323 looks like a booty call.
