[Chicago] jan video

[Carl Karsten]

I am looking for a number.   Given I am going to ask people who are my
friends, it would be a conflict of interest if I came up with a hight
number,  and I might insult them if too low.  So I would rather not be
the one coming up with the number.

I would like to send some emails "can you video chipy? they will pay $X."
