Call for Entries


I realized a couple things after the last blog post: 1. Although not working as an Art PA on Spanish and occasionally Japanese language commercials has greatly reduced my overall anxiety and depression levels, it's left me with a lack of ridiculous, hard-to-believe stories about stuff that's happened to me on jobs, and B. People still read this blog. And while I was considering making up some stories about fake jobs, I decided it might be more fun if other people did it.

So this is my call for entries: Write your own Blog is Mark Brinker blog post. It can be any theme, style, or topic. Maybe you know an actual event that's happened to me that I haven't written about, or maybe you know of a fake event that should have happened to me, either way, this is your chance to make that event, true or untrue, be counted in the pages of history.

Then just e-mail your entry to brinker.mark@gmail.com (NOT mark.brinker@gmail.com, who does not tell people when they incorrectly send him e-mails meant for me, and then I find out weeks later that I never got some important e-mail because mark.brinker can't hit reply) and I will post it up here. All submitted entries will be posted, anonymously or nonymously, whichever you prefer. If no one submits anything, I will go back and delete this post and claim that it never existed, just like those people that Stalin had airbrushed out of photographs or whatever.

If enough people submit then there will be a round of voting and prizes will be awarded.

-Mark Out.

P.S. After a second day of class that mean teacher from the last entry turned out not to be so mean. It was, as I had suspected, largely an act to get us to take the program seriously. She went out drinking with us that evening, and told us that so far only one person had failed the class, and we knew what person she was talking about, and it wasn't me.

I'm sitting at a video shoot for work right now staring at all the PAs here thinking, "this could have been Mark, if Mark wasn't in LA. And if Mark was still doing this work."

But alas, no Mark at this shoot. Well there may be a Mark here, I haven't bothered to learn any of the names of the people here, and frankly haven't had much opportunity to considering we aren't supposed to talk or even move while they're rolling. So one of these guys (or girls) could be named Mark, but it wouldn't be the Mark we're all thinking of.

This didn't really have anything to do with this post, I was just here and all.
