getting VJ jobs in NYC

[prismaco]

so all my friends from the west coast think its funny to move to NYC at the same time (within 6 months) of one another, and was thinking of making the move.
I've done the whole portfolio, presentation, gallery show (for paintings) so i know a little about "souping" up ones work for exposure within the presentation architecture (wow, that was way too arty)
does anyone from the area have recommendations on how to get a gig.
do people have regular VJ nights during the week there in NYC?
are there any "guild"/community structures to get jobs (am i mentioning a union?)?
what/where are there resources in NYC for people to get introduced to jobs as VJs?
thanks for any recommendations.
pco
Black Eyed Peas then Them make for a good mix:P

Everyone should have the beatbox album Human Element.
my boy just passed through town and let me copy it to cd.
just an idea...

Uh oh. It's starting again.... I came across the continent from the West Coast in one of those mass flocking eastward migrations.

Come to remember, I actually went to SF in the first place in a westward migration....

click the link below. We host a VJ party for VJs. We've traded several jobs back and forth. Not a "union" per se, but definitely a close scene.

Ask VJ Rei about getting jobs in New York.

holly,

Ahh, that would explain your brash and flamboyant personality. Everything's bigger in Texas!

holly,

Tsk tsk. I was hoping you would be much less high-maintenance than that.

Since when is being "brash and flamboyant" an insult?
