hey, if anyone is interested in this, let me know, I can try to put in a word for you... this is probably good more for people on the Producer / Consultant / PR sides of things... keep in mind it's part-time so you probably can't buy a house with this, but it might be a good step to help you shift careers or move to NYC or whatever
