Ahem. Request for help re: moving. Only people in Princeton or Boston-area will be remotely interested.

Boston-area people: Does anyone have space in their basement for me to store stuff for the last two weeks of August? It doesn't have to be a lot of space - a bunch of stuff will go in my parents' basement - but if it doesn't all fit down in my parents' basement, it would be nice to have a backup plan. I can't really think of any of you that have vast empty echoing catacombs in your basements, but I thought I'd try. Also, help unloading the truck on the evening of Monday, August 14 would not be turned down.

Princeton-area people: Anyone want to help me load up the truck? Standard provisions of yummy thank-you meal will apply. I need somebody to help me move everything into the living room on the afternoon of Sunday, August 13 (so my dad doesn't have to navigate stairs) and help loading up the truck on Monday morning would be super-awesome-nice (again, so my dad doesn't have to do any heavy lifting.) I realize Monday morning is just about the most terrible time to ask someone to do anything, but just one helper would be really awesome. Oh, wait...Craigslist! Maybe I'll post an ad for moving help there.

In case you are wondering, this plan means that no, I have not found a job yet, so my plan is to move my stuff to Boston into storage, wait until Sept. 1 to see if anyone outside Boston wants to offer me a job, and then move into the cheapest apartment with the non-sketchiest roommates I can find.

Not huge catacombs of space, but I do have some basement space you could use (Somerville, near Davis).

No promises yet on the helping unload, but it's a possibility.

We have a lot of space in our basement, but are going to be out of town for a week starting August 13th, which seems to be an issue for your timing. I'm sure we can arrange something if we turn out to be your best option in spite of not being around.

Oh yeah, and I was going to say something about how 'sketchiest non-roommates' sound cooler than 'non-sketchiest roommates'

But I forgot.

We've got attic space. The downside: up two flights of stairs, and stuffy. But plenty of space.

The Hedgehog Memorial House for Wayward Girls can put you up for a while while you try to find the least sketchy apartment possible, if need be.

Hey, isn't [livejournal.com profile] ltlbird looking for a roommate? I think she posted that she'll have a spare bedroom available in JP.

Don't really have space, but do have a friend who may want a roommate in September. They're in Somerville, near Powder House.

Monday morning is obviously out of the question for me, but I can help on the Sunday afternoon.

I'll be in Vegas and unable to assist. I'm sure, though, that you will find plenty of hlep.
