Yardsale!



Who doesn't love a yardsale! It's an excellent way to thin out all the crap-o-la in your house and clear some space in the garage.

One of the uncomfortable realities of Hollywood life is that the biz has peaks and valleys. We are in a valley. So we had a yardsale for one of the Uncoolest reasons on the planet: we needed the dough. So we set the alarm for 3:00am, hung some signs around the neighborhood and started pulling out the stuff.

You'd be surprised (at least we were) how many people arrive fully intending to scam and rob you. We lost a ton when a gang of Russian gypsy mobsters arrived and stole half of our books while we weren't looking. Then they somehow talked us into bringing liquor out of our house, then they robbed us of that. Finally, my wife had to practically throw them down the driveway once they spotted her jewelry (which they got some of anyway).

I made a killing selling off my kids toys.
