Party space

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

I'm toying with an idea for an empty house party, but, of course, my and all my friends' houses are full! If you or someone you know has an empty apartment that they might consider renting just for a weekend in March or April, drop me a line.

Kitten Wanted

Does anyone know of a kitten that needs a good home. I am on Cameron Avenue and would love to adopt a kitten or two. 

Do you have an abandoned RCN remote control?

[larsks.livejournal.com]

We're cancelling our RCN services (moving to Comcast for the time being to save a few tens of dollars/month). It looks like sometime in the last decade we lost our RCN branded remote control (a multifunction remote meant for use with a Motorola set-top box), which means they're going to charge us for it when I return the equipment. I'm curious if anyone here has one lying around they'd like to get rid of -- maybe left by a previous tenant, or something.

Thanks!

If you're appealing a parking ticket,

[lissie930.livejournal.com]

*make sure* you follow up to make sure they received your letter.  I got a parking ticket, sent a letter, didn't hear back for a while, called in and was told "don't worry about it, it takes a while", and now I'm being told "oh gee, we never received your letter and it's way too late to deal with, sorry, you're SOL."  Apparently they also won't return phone calls to tell you this, so don't bother leaving messages.  I am so frustrated because I thought I was being diligent and following up (I spoke to one person who apparently didn't know that there was a time limit to deal with these things because they told me to fax in my letter and leave a message, both of which I did and never received a phone call back). 

So, the moral of the story is, make sure you call to confirm they got your letter.  Silly me, trusting that sending something through the mail would mean it would actually get there.

Soleil Café: Followup

[horizon-radar.livejournal.com]

For those that didn't catch what ron_newman said in the last post, Soleil Café has in fact closed, and according to a note left on their door it has also been sold.

( A photo of the note. )

I'm not really surprised; they have amazing food, but nobody was ever there. More than once it took them 10 minutes to make a bagel with cream cheese.

EDIT: Deleted the first post due to html problems. Sorry about that, Ron.

Ben Kweller tickets

[chantyourmantra.livejournal.com]

I know it's super last minute, but...

I have two tickets to see Ben Kweller tonight at the Somerville Theatre at 7:30 PM. They're in the center mezzanine, row EE. I'm selling them as a pair for $48, the face value, but at this point, I'll take the best offer. Let me know if you're interested!
