Wow, that's detailed. We didn't walk through the Canal last month, but I know exactly where you are talking about. Sounds like a cheap date, my husband would like that.
It's fun to go, the only problem is that a lot of what they show stinks. Still, a couple of months ago I made $ 40 just watching some commercials, rating them, and then being interviewed for about 40 mins regarding Capital One's 'Identity Protection' ad campaign. Not the most exciting thing, but $40 for just answering some questions is ok!
At The Alladin I saw the pilot movie for 'Eureka' about three months ago, a new show coming on SF and that was very good, slick, and well done. I look forward to the series. 90 minute movie, 15 mins of answering questions, and a crisp $20 for my trouble. Not bad!
Let me know what you screen there! :-)
