Thanks for coming out

So, Artbeat was long, and hot, and humid...

Thanks to all who stopped by my booth and introduced themselves. It's always cool to be reminded that cyberspace is populated with real live, living, breathing, interesting people.

1st project right now is for me to get prepped for my impending apartment move. After that, the Davis Square Bookcase is next on the list. I'll keep you all posted about progress, and when it'll be showcased.

Grasping at apartment straws

Hey folks, my boyfriend and I have been unable to find a place to buy in a timely fashion. We need to find a place to rent for a while, starting 9/1, while we look for a place to buy. We really don't want to be stuck in a lease for a whole year. Problem is, finding sublets starting at that time and lasting for a few months is difficult, and finding places that will allow tenancy at will without the tenant having been on at least one year's lease there already is very difficult. No one needs to tell me how unlikely it is that we will find this. I am getting that impression already. However, I thought I'd throw this out there, just to see if we get lucky.

We need:

* 2 bedrooms
* unfurnished if a sublet (we need room for OUR stuff)
* close to public transportation (doesn't have to be in the Davis area though)
* available on a month-to-month basis or for maybe a six month commitment
*1500 or under

I've put in my name with one rental agency (Maven) to notify me if they get any tenancy at will places available, and suspect my boyfriend has had to go the same route with Apartment Rental Experts today, more than likely. I keep scouring Craigslist, and have found a total of one apartment sublet that might actually meet our needs, almost.

Anyone know anything that could be helpful to us?
