MOVING PARTY

Aug 28, 2008 13:42

So, I officially have a new place. Do you know what this means?

MOVING PARTY!

Come help? Pweeaaaase?

When: Monday, September 1st, the Day of Labor. (Or see below.)

Where: Medford, near rts. 16 and 93. (Details by private email.)

What: Help me carry my tons'o'stuff and I will feed you. (Within reason. I can't take everyone out for lobster, but pizza, Grasshopper's, something in that range. Copious water will be provided.) Or write you fic. Or something.

Full Logistics: So I will confess up front that this may be a rather hectic move. (Like anything I do isn't?)

The good news: My stuff is in storage at U-Haul, my new place is less than a mile from there, and getting the stuff out of storage is relatively easy, though it may be a bit of a zoo. Everything I immediately need or want, which is to say everything but a few bits of furniture (mattress I don't use, desk I don't need, bureau which can wait 'til later), fits in a car, though it will be multiple (hah) trips.

The bad news: I couldn't get a truck. (Because everybody else moves at the beginning of September too.) Like I said, getting the stuff out of storage is the easy part; what I need is help getting all of it into the house. (Because there's only so much my hands or back can carry.) Books and kitchen stuff go up one flight of stairs, everything else goes up two. BYOC (bring-your-own-car) will be highly appreciated, as this will be many runs to and fro.

Alternate dates: If you'd like to help and be fed and generally loved, but are not available Monday, Sunday and Tuesday are also possibilities. Monday is my preferred date for this, but arrangements can be made.

Specific times: Storage closes at 5 pm on Sunday (and I will not want to be working much longer than that, as I have other matters to take care of), and 7 pm on Monday and Tuesday. I don't think either I or the housemate will want moving madness any time before 10 or 11 am.

RSVP: By email to arkady [dot] lizard [at] gmail [dot] com, with intended date/time, food preferences, transportation requirements (ie a ride from such and such a t-stop), and number of hands and vehicles.
