Hey there Dutchies…I forgot to mention that I found a new place…
Korbett, my teacher, arranged a place for me to stay until the 7th of October so I had 1 month to find something else. So, that should be plenty of time you’d think right? Well I scavenged the internet, craigslist and all sorts of studio/room/house/ apartment-sublet sites but everything is OR to expensive, OR the contract is untill april, may or June or it is too far away etc. But luckily for me my colleagues from Loaded Pictures we’re very helpful with finding a place and Sarah brought me in contact with a friend of her who is going to New York for three weeks. So I got a place for until November 1st. 2 cool roommates (read female roommates) and pretty close to work which is great because it is getting colder soon.
Now I only had to find something for the last three months. And I had to keep in mind that Mark is coming over from December 1st till the end so it had to at least a 2 bedroom place. And we are also getting some other guests from Holland so I needed to have enough room… Well everything is solved ladies and gentlemen and it’s freakin’ awesome!
Loaded Pictures is, let’s say, in the ” basement” of a big building. Right above Loaded Pictures lived a couple of “hippies” who got kicked out two weeks ago without any notice. The landlord gave them until midnight to pack their shit and be gone. So that sucked for them but they really made a mess of the place and always played loud music so it is understandable from his point of view but still… The good news for me is that Sebastian new the landlord pretty well so he went up there and asked him if he maybe could get the place and he got it!!! So he offered me to live with him. It is a big fucking place and he gets to draw a floorplan which the landlord will build for him… and it will be finished on the 1st of November!
