This is Portland, we do what we like. This is Portland, we do what we like.

Whenever, I work swings aka The Lush Shift.

Not playing favorites tho, when some pseudo-lurker moves here in a year or two, f'real, let me know. Gotta weird Quantum Leap ethos wrt PDX noobs.

so fucked :(

nah man it'll work out. if you've got a job you'll find housing pretty easily, it's plentiful. it's jobs that nobody can find.

I didn't hear back.

Plus I have to be out of my friend's place by Monday and don't have a month's rent's worth of money.

So as of now, I have no job, no place, no money.

hey we have a small empty Airstream trailer in Eugene if you get desperate, just sayin'. we could put you up for a week at least with no problem. but it might be hard to commute for jobhunting.

Yeah, Eugene is a bit too far away to be useful. Thanks for the offer, though.

Not as fucked as I thought.

What is your job and how soon do you need a place?

Plus I have to be out of my friend's place by Monday.....So as of now, I have no job

Money is no longer an immediate issue, though.

Well that's good.

Ugh. No one has space until the first. And I can't stay where I am. I might have to leave back home tomorrow. So freaking bummed.

Shit, worst case scenario, just hit up one of the hostels around here.

Or craigslist.

I've been all over craigslist trying to find a place, but like I say, no one is trying to fill a room til the 1st.

Are you on Livejournal? Post to the damnportlanders community.

not on lj

What about this sort of thing

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/sub/1385836715.html

I mean, totally not ideal, but cheap and with an immediate move in.

Feels kinda spammy, but I'd rather do it here than on a Trumans thread.. Trumans Water/Castanets show at the house here (Woodstock area) on Saturday if anyone goes for that kind of thing.

so, I am staying in the nw hostel for now, hopefully to have own place soon

Which hostel, rev? You might in my hood.

the nw hostel, like I say

Ah. If it's the one I'm thinking of I am like five blocks away from you at a bar. HEY!

what bar?

I was just at the blue moon and another one I didnt note the name of

The matador. It's my local. Stop by if you'd like! (but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be out tonight tbh.)

Oh I was there a few nights ago. I think I will drop by shortly.

Good prospects on a place on 74th NE off Sandy

Nope.

Still can't find a place, super frustrated.

Gorgeous day today, though, amirite?

Meh. I'm couped up inside scouring cl anyway.

Okay, so I got called back by someone offering me a place. Way SW, practically in Lake Oswego. Not ideal, but doable. I hope the people whose house I checked out today get back to me tomorrow so I can have a better location.

Found a more desirable place, right off the 82nd St. MAX.

Tomorrow I become an official Portland resident!

yay!
(boo)
yay!

My landlords wife is renting rooms at 57th and NE Sandy, if anybodys looking for a place

Okay srsly and for real:

Saturday night. Drinkin'. All are welcome. I'd love to do it at my local (the B-Side) because it's v. friendly to me and has a covered/heated smoking patio, but alternative venue/date suggestions can be made.

oh man that's my birthday, otherwise i'd be there with bells on.

alternative venue/date suggestions can be made.

Important information for u 2 consider.

:) :)

It's a trap!

What about earlier in the day? On Saturday night, they're doing a singalong versin of Hedwig & the Angry Inch at Cinema 21, and I'm probably heading there.

The HP Lovecraft Film Fest is also this weekend. I'd volunteer again, but I've done that for the last 4 years, so I'll take a break this time.

Sing-Along Hedwig and The Angry Inch
October 3 at 10:00 p.m.

It’s back! Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the fiercely inventive rock and roll movie musical returns to the big screen and this time you can sing-along! An emcee will get you warmed up and provide you with props to use as the movie plays. There’ll even be a costume contest with special prizes!

Will be there, no doubt.

we should do a pre-show boozey fap

Indeed. Working that day till 7:30, tell me where to be at 8 and I'm there. Wouldn't mind if you made it earlier with me as a late arrival, either.

what are you booing at tz?
