I was walking past the public library today and decided to go in and look around. The Public Library, I admit, is not a place that I visit frequently. While feeling like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest--I fortunately came across a book that I read around 15 years ago. The book was titled A Pound of Flesh: Perilous Tales of How to Produce Movies in Hollywood, and was written by Art Linson. I always thought this book should be a requirement for anyone interested in making film a carrier. I had the book in my hands while I walked up to the check out desk--only to learn, What happens when you are drunk and dressed in a pig outfit should stay with when your drunk dressed in a pig outfit. College! I was not going to stop there. That was not the end, but the beginning of an afternoon crusade. I picked up my cell phone and called all the bookstores I could find til I found one that had the book. I not only bought the hardback edition for myself, but mailed five of my friends new to the industry each a copy. I wish I still had that pig outfit.
