I plan to spend the summer sleeping and shooting video (including top secret svx project #1, shhh!) ... anybody want to pay me for that?

Hehe.. Chris - I've found that places are a lot more likely to hire for summer internship style work if you can talk to someone outside HR. A manager or someone who can see the value in starting to build ties with you that hopefully they can exploit once you graduate. HR folks seem to be a little more focused on "do you meet X X and X requirements" ... offering to work cheap helps too
