[pct-l] OT: Anyone in SoCal want to help w/ a film shoot this Thurs/Fri?

[phix at optigan.com (Pea Hicks)]

hi all-

sorry for the off-topic post, but we're trying to come up with some 
volunteers to help with a film shoot on thursday evening to friday 
morning, june 23-24 at ghost mountain in anza borrego state park 
(visible from the pct near mt. laguna! i knew i could make this on-topic 
somehow!)

anyway, a documentary is being made about Marshal South (1930s desert 
hermit/writer/proto-hippie), and while it's a professional production, 
at this point it's being made as a labor of love and volunteers are 
always needed to help carry equipment up and down the mountain. because 
of the heat, we need more volunteers than usual to share the load, and 
right now we're coming up short. this shoot is specifically to get 
footage of the agaves in bloom, with sunset coverage on thurs and 
sunrise coverage on friday morning.

this is from diana lindsay, who is coordinating the shoot:

*********************
Dates are set -- June 23-24 to meet at Yaquitepec at 4 p.m. to haul
equipment up the mountain so that blooming agaves can be filmed around 
the ruins of Marshal South's home. We will haul down the equipment about 
9 a.m. We need lots of help. It is hot and if we have more people, it 
will be easier on all to carry things up. Last time we needed 8 people. 
  We will need at least that many again. Bring empty backpacks to haul 
equipment.

Plan on bringing overnight gear if you can stay over and potluck to 
share. Let me know asap if you can help. Need to make sure we have 
enough people helping. Thanks for your support!

also, here's a link to diana's book on marshal south (which i helped 
research) in case you don't know anything about him:
