getting paid / having fun

like... whoa guys. way serious stuff being discussed on 'da blog. in my experience, most of the edgy, fun stuff is done out of love for it. like... free (or next to nothing). you gotta balance your life though, so you do it anyway. check this short clip on carson (shot by the equally awesome hillman curtis). listen closely to what he says at 2:05. he was totally broke when he did beach culture and raygun... but he had total freedom. nobody's gonna let you totally go wild if there's lots of money involved, but if you take on the low-budget stuff as well, someone might notice (as was the case with him).
