    As always, thanks for the advice Bob and Ron.

    To add on to what you said, Ron, one of my teachers from college has a similar opinion about the Red Cross. He was in the military when he was younger. I forget what country he was based in, but the Red Cross was giving out blankets and stuff to the soldiers. The only catch was that the Red Cross was actually CHARGING the soldiers for those products. Some charity, aye? When he saw that, he also decided he’d never give a dime to the Red Cross either.

    Robert, no matter what job we’re doing, we pay ourselves and spend the money on exactly what you mentioned. It’s all good.

    Thanks Steve.

    By the way, I like your website and reel. I noticed your are from AZ. What is the video industry like out there, if you don’t mind me asking? Moving out west has crossed my mind a few times, and a few friends of mine took a road trip to AZ and had a real good time. So we’ve been thinkin about it. I heard they don’t have good pizza though.

    We have great Pizza. We just don’t buy it from Pizza Hut.

    We have 5 film schools and a glut of video/film people who will work for free. Of course, the quality level is all over the map.

    We have a great state which is buried in debt but at least if you’re homeless, you probably won’t freeze to death.

    It’s warm in the summer if you consider 117 to be warm. Some think it’s hot as Hell. I think that Hell is probably around 125 – 130. It’s been 122 here, but only for one long miserable day.

    We actually have more forest land than desert but we keep that a secret (Don’t tell anybody).

    “It’s warm in the summer if you consider 117 to be warm.”

    hahah, I dunno man. Have you been to the east coast? I think I would enjoy 177 degrees in AZ more than 80 degrees with high humidity on the east coast.

    I’m from Ohio. I’ve lived in Florida, in the summer so I’ve seen 95 degrees and 100% humidity.

    At 117, we work under shade and try to start early and finish early.

    [Steve Wargo] “At 117, we work under shade and try to start early and finish early.”

    Now that’s a bit wimpy Steve. I’m really shocked…

    I once shot exteriors in Old Tucson, in Late July, when the temp. was 125. We shot all day, from sun up to sun down, for a week. We were real men in those days…

    Oh, but it was a “dry heat.”

    Love when people say that.
