No, it's not my money. I had volunteered to help count donations for the Love Parade in San Francisco. I like a lot of movies that show piles of cash, so handling it is somehow satisfying. Best of all is getting our pictures taken with the pile at the end of the day. I don't want to say how much it is but it's a lot.
