any tips on finding one?

find the addresses of all the places you may want to intern and stand outside with a large well-designed plaque stating you want to intern there.
do it around lunchtime or in the evening while the employees are walking in and oout of the building...
a friend of mine got a highly successful job and MC Saatchi using this approach.

Intership in what? Design, Film, Programming, Web?

i would like to find something that is a balance between print and web design

did your friend really stand outside of saatchi? i can't decide if i think these kind of approaches are humorous or humiliating

humorous and humiliating both. exactly what a company is looking for in an intern
and if the plaque is designed nicely, then hey, i think he's winning

one time this guy just walked in at the firm i was working at, looked like a deer in the headlights, asked if anyone was looking for work... 5 silent seconds later he explained that his girlfriend won't get off his back to find an internship. nervous as hell, didnt have any leave behind or resume or anything... if he did, he would have been working there i think. good enterance, but he fucked it up....
anywho, start calling people and lets see a good portfolio!
