Acting : FUN POLL: Stuff or Services? by Karen "Kay" Ross

Karen “Kay” Ross if you have a moment, please answer my questions on the case study, trying to give you’ll a copy while I wrap up another one this week.

Shingle malt scotch from Isly Island.

I would use for services that would assist with projects (professional development).

Good question. I would like to see the money go to services. I think most of us have enough 'stuff' (and I know you mean gear to advance your mission) but stuff is quickly outdated unless you go Doug's route and there's nothing wrong with that! I like the idea of services because you bless others and build relationships with someone other than the one trying to sell you said 'stuff' :)

new background for selftaping; good mic and 2 new studio light .

That is a fantastic answer, Shane Stanley! I, too, like employing services whenever possible, and partly because getting other people involved energizes me more than having stuff. In fact, stuff slows me down! But I like your view of it better - very gracious!

no frivolity re Shane's thought — still, am I the only one who thought pizza is both stuff and services? still plenty left over for headshots and ....

Combining both works for all.

I would spend it on photos and a really good showreel . Or otherwise purchase some insightful classes online

Headshots, I guess.

Half would go for script consulting 30min call and the other half to pitching sessions.

Use it for Stage 32 script services. :)

Thank you all for unofficially helping me ;-) I purchased a new ring light and voice-over classes WooT! You are quite right, Tasha, combining both DOES work! I'm saving those headshots for later in the year when I've had a chance to work off my COVID 15 LOL!

Your welcome Kay. If you would like a fun Monday analogy for the Entertainment Industry. Frommers Guides Frommers.com. City and country guides that allow you to live on daily budgets sometimes as low as $50 USD per day. When I lived in Europe, I used it and it served me well.

Definitely services. due to current circumstances

1-Renew services

2- apply and obtain jobs

3- be able to afford all my other necessities

While you all are deciding, is bitcoin stuff or services?

Oh goodness, thank you Tasha, I was just joking with the hint there might be room to invest a bit. It was one of my two answers to Kay's poll that don't fit either category or both — I am too far from all this, and truly appreciate the link. I had no idea there were ten! I am going to mine it for script ideas.

Rohit, thanks, the only value here was mining it for stories and fun (see Kay's title of the post). There will be cryptocurrency scripts soon — and every screenwriter is rich enough to mine the gold in it. It's not all snake oil. Regardless good caution, yes, it's the wild west. Or east. Darn, political correctness.

Bitcoin reached over $60K in value. All types of businesses are using it for products and services.

Screenwriters can mine it for free.

Three hundred dollars is not enough to do a full on splurge-crazed frenzy. I'd go with what Doug Nelson said. But I'll name my favorite: Laphroaig 10 year. The smell and taste of dirt is great :) ...okay, it's peat, but I call it dirt.

Ooo, @Richard I just learned of Laphroaig from watching Men in Kilts. I typically have Glenfiddich, but now I can't wait to try this one! Thanks for the reminder!

:)
