Did not see this posted yet, thought I should throw it out there.

Kinda surprised the mayor actually signed it.
I know there are some options for shooting floating around out there that look good outside of LA. Just thought I should mention that Nshvill TN had the issue raised a little while back when there was advertising for what was suppose to be a film of the largest blowbang or something.. some people complained, and the newspaper ran an article with interviews from the DA attn gnrl metr chief and similar people - they all said they researched it, and since the filming was not open to the public there was nothing illegal about it, it falls under free speech and thats that. So if anyone wants to do some shooting out this way, it appears that it's actually more friendly than some other places.
I've got names of the best local lwyrs that deal with adult, and a few friends that shoot some contract stuff in the area. Rent is cheap out this way and I have been considering shooting some new stuff for net only release again myself. Anyhow, thought I'd throw it out there for those who may be scrambling for ideas. The entertainment industry is taken pretty seriously around here in many ways.
Prefer not to post much here publicly, but I get pms.. discretion is always a good thing in my book.
