Things work different every where... I may be wrong.

I'm just now seeing some of the replies to my post. I am a part time provider and I do not tour much. I did not realize I would actually have a chance to participate in the hobby until the last minute. I didn't know if I could visit an agency or what my best option would have been. It was all kinda last minute. I promise I was not up to anything "fishy". I hope to be back to New York soon. If I do it will be well planned. Thanks for the help. Sorry if I alarmed anyone . I Love NY!
