Im not too far from l.a. and I think it will be fun to be an extra. How do I get into this? Where do I go? How am I picked? Any websites out there or agents? also, i can only do it on weekends--

Sorry but you're going to have a really hard time if you can only work weekends. Movies film mostly during the week and for continuity reasons you may have to commit to many days of the week for certain projects.
Try these sites:

http://billdancecasting.com/
http://extrasaccess.com/
Central and Bill Dance charge a fee to join and yes that is normal for companies that hire extras. They are not 'agents' they are companies that do a service and that's that. ExtrasAccess is new to me. It's an offshoot of ActorsAccess which is more for people looking for principal work and even though I've never used it, I trust it because of the people it comes from. Getting started is free, I'm sure there's a fee along the way somewhere, but I've never used it so I don't know where that comes in.
good lucK!

Best way is to sign up Central Casting. They do most of the extra work in LA. Here's the website for info:

A long shot, but worth a try
