Get a bar job. Jeez.

for two weeks at easter? for one I have no bar experience and two no one will hire for that short of a time.

when i was younger skating around town i had a great idea when we had no money - we had no supplies of any sort and we were thirsty from skateboarding around town



i decided to go to all the apartments around where we were and have scavenger hunt - first person to open a door i told them we were doing a scavenger hunt then asked if they had a pen and paper



next i made an actual list of things, random things as well. first we were thirsty so we asked for soda, we asked for some food, snacks, candy, then it got random with a playboy, a quarter with a certain date on it - stuff like that - we never checked off any of the stuff but a few items we wouldnt be able to use like yesterdays newspaper - so every house we went to we got at least a soda and some other crap, it was a great idea for a punk skater who was thirsty and ended up making a few bucks while i was at it

I meant if you're saving money for a trip, get a regular bar job.

Hmmm.. shorts and a tank-top t-shirt...



I believe prostitution may be the road to a quick buck....

mowing lawns is always a good idea, very few people like doing it, its a chore, charge $15 or $20 to mow & weed and clean up - as long as your not doing any huge houses then i'd charge more

strip

Fair enough, to be honnest I'm either working in a vegatble sorting factory over summer or Roberts Bakery. Either way its factory work.



But I want to earn some quick cash, it'll wipe out my over draft this holiday and if its enough code be seed money for something else I'm working on.

be awesome, then have someone pay you for being awesome

Depends on the size of the lawn, if you'll be using your own mower/weed eater and how overgrown the yard is.



Charge $15 for small yards that need only a little work, and go from there. Be prepared for many "no's" and to be negotiable with your prices.



If you can, find an upscale neighborhood.



My cousins used to do this, and while they could get $20 from one yard in an okay neighborhood they could get $50 or more for the same sized yard in a more upscale neighborhood.

Make up a bunch of cool-ass flyers and paper the whole area, everywhere within traveling distance. That knocking-on-the-door stuff gets old real fast and those "nos" are depressing. Let them ring you up. If they want it done, they'll let YOU know (unless you're a kick ass salesman, and if you are, what the hell are you doing wasting time cutting grass?) Put them in grocery stores, drug stores, coffee shops, etc. You'd be surprise how many calls you'd get.

Thanks guys, I live in a fairly upscale neighborhood, there very keeping up with the jones's people (as in every weekened out washing the car, that type of thing) its actually quite sickening.



Right so flyers it is, this will be intersting oh and I will be providing a mower.



Thanks guys.

I like Miss Threadless' attitude here

Well its not like I have any other skills I can put to work at short notice un like some I'm not lucky enough to be blessed with artistic ability so I cant get commisions off of people.

you're probably awesome at something, you just have to figure out what it is - or is that hollywood bullshit? nah I reckon everyone has something they excel at

Believe me I'm working on stuff for the future, right now I'm putting a load of new stuff together for my webzine and I might be putting on a gig which if successful will turn into a mini tour, which means I'll be able to pay for a proper website.



Basically its a case of I need to spend money to make money but I dont have money to spend.

Oh and I'm a fairly good sound man, its begining to look like I'll be the sound man for the rest of the course on productions.
