Wanna get paid to paddle?

I knew that would get your attention,
OK, so here's the deal.

A talent agency is shooting a commercial for Arkansas parks.
They want to shoot at the new Boaters Park in Siloam Springs.
Below is the communication I received.

Arkansas Parks and Tourism is coming in Wednesday, July 23 to shoot at the Siloam Springs Whitewater Recreation Park and we need some kayakers there. The call time is 7:45 a.m. and shooting will begin promptly at 8:00 am. It will wrap up around 11 am.

Here’s what the production company is looking for-
5 kayakers
· Colorful kayaks preferable
· There CAN NOT be inappropriate wording, stickers, etc. on any gear.
· Would like to have a mix of ages and sex
· No tattoos visible

The production company can pay up to 5 kayakers for their time. It’s $100 for anyone 16 and older and $50 for anyone 16 or younger.


Here is my take on it.
I am going to be there to paddle.
If they chose to pay me for what I want to be doing anyway,
I am going to donate my check to Jon's family.
The only thing I need is for at least four more to post back that
they will be there so I can report back that the shoot will be successful.
Thanks,
Steve

I have tattoos and a" Damn Arkansan" sticker on my boat. I guess I'm too "hard core "for the tourists. -M- :wht:

Well I am an open boater, protected by a killer chicken, and a member of the nude whitewater paddling club (so the stickers say that came with the boat) so I guess I'm out.

Well I an't colorful and I don't have a Yak, but I am OLD. So that covers the various age groups. :angel: I'll come just to watch. And play after the filming is done.

I'll bring my new, bright red play boat and my old, worn-out kayaking body and join you in donating the proceeds to Jon's family.
