i need zombie makeup... know any one good in the oc area?
um, no but I can recommend the best stuff to use... however, the kinds that will look the best cost a bit more than you may want to spend on Halloween makeup...

i need zombie makeup... know any one good in the oc area?www.yellowpages.com ... I'd lay bets there is a half decent supplier in Costa Mesa, or a wholesaler over in City of Industry.

Where in OC are you? I used to live in Placentia (technically, I lived in OC, since our pocket was unicorporated by the city, but had a Placentia address). Worked in Rancho Cucamonga, Irvine, and Pasadena at various times as well.

I let my fingers do the walking for you - Costumes Galore (http://www.costumesgalore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT) ... located in Orange.

jonathanlondon

11-13-2006, 03:02 AM

I got a question for Jon! How did you become a screener, b/c i want in.

I'm not a screener. I'm a coder. I don't recruit people for screenings. I just do the coding afterwards and help write up the results for the filmmakers for editing. I found the job through a friend who started working at Universal out of college. She got me the job and it's just part time. But I get free concessions and that's awesome... unless you're my waistline.

If you want to be a screening recruiter though and pass out fliers, try and get people to come to screenings, I see ads for the job on Craiglists in the tv/films section all the time. I know they're always looking for people but I dunno how well it pays. Check though. Or call the marketing departments of the studios and see if they need coders.

yeah, i went in for this, but to hand out fliers for movie screening flier passer outers, you have to have a car and the ability to get to and host screenings, etc. i heard it's good money with ok hours, though. and craigslist is the best way. either that or call Nielsen Entertainment.

Ok, go. I'm waiting.

satori

11-14-2006, 06:09 AM

JLo, here's another math question, and this is for JLo, no helping him!

If I were to drop a quarter from a set height, to the ground it would have to travel half the distance in order to get to the final destination... then to get from that distance it would have a halved distance that it would now have to travel again, and so on and so on for infinity because you could just go on and on halving the distance... and yet that quarter does actually hit the ground. Please show and explain the mathematical equation that would explain this dilemna without the aid of pornography or mountain goat.
