<p>Well, well, well. Well. Huh. It looks like Mr. Van Sant is having yet another open casting call for his <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/09/10/sean_penn_to_pl.php">Harvey Milk biopic</a>, <em>Milk</em>. Seeing as how are the Gena Rowlands of bit-part/background acting, we're going to attend the casting call. <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/11/12/win_the_chance.php">Again</a>. Clearly, our picture taken at the last audition was either destroyed by a envious auditioners, or it was lost among the riff-raff of local flavor. It looks like we have to do it all over again. But this time we're a) totally for reals getting a speaking part, and b) <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/11/19/gus_van_sant_ha.php">snapping a picture of the </a><a href="http://www.indiewire.com/ots/onthescene_030525cann.html">Palme d'Or-winning</a> <em>auteur</em> no matter what the cost. (Except jail, we're not going to jail. Or putting out.)</p>

<p>We hear, via our fine commenters, that you might have an edge at the casting call if you dress up circa <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_City">San Francisco in 1970s</a>. So don't forget the oversized sunglasses, poppers, and bushy chest hair, kids. </p>
