“Dear Yenta, The non-profit I work for needs a videographer for 2 hours of filming, very light (almost no editing) and DVD burning/duplicating. Do you know anyone who needs the work and could give this lil’ ol 501(c)(3) a good price?”
My first thought is that Janet Strauss would be great for you!! She is really sought after, but is also committed to helping others, especially Charities.

Mobile restaurants are the rage right now in LA. It seems like they’re everywhere. Most are on twitter, where they announce their locations throughout the day. Just think of the possibilities!!!
