Hmmm, "what I need to remember" sounds just all wrong... I was never
involved in traditional tv or moviemaking, so I would have no idea I'd
need a permit to walk around a major city with a video camera.
See? It always comes back around to money. The cities wanted to make
money off of big media, and we have to suffer because of it. Sigh...
