Here's an interesting gig:  do y'all know anyone who could drive a
Japanese film crew around the Outer Banks (and presumeably inland) for
ten days next month?  $300/day.

Tom,

I've had an odd request come through my office. A film crew from Tokyo is
headed to the Outer Banks next month to do a documentary on the red wolf
(which is apparently near extinction). They're looking for someone local who
can drive them around for about ten days out in Manteo (see specs of the job
below).

Are you interested or do you know of someone who might be?

Cheers,
em
