The deadline to register to vote in Massachusetts is fast approaching, so I figured I'd send out instructions on how to do so.
You can read more here, as well: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleifv/howreg.htm

There are two ways to register, by mail or in person. You can also register at the RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles), but I do not recommend it.

Knit & Sip Crochet Soiree (Sun, Oct 14th)

[toricosta.livejournal.com]

Our annual Wrap Around Sale to benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition is just five weeks away! Join us at the Gallery this Sunday as we knit and crochet our support for SHC.

Come on by for yarn and conversation, and check out a very cool art show--The Big Bad.

Light snacks, drinks, tea & coffee will be there. Please feel free to bring some munchies if you'd like.

About Knit & Sip Crochet Soirees

Each November, the Nave Gallery hosts Wrap Around, a sale of affordable handmade goods. All proceeds help fund the amazing work of the Somerville Homeless Coalition, and anything not sold is donated to them.

Join our monthly meetup, and knit, crochet, and create items for this November's sale. This is a really fun way to get your craft on and help keep someone warm during our very cold winters.

To keep up to date on events, join the meetup group at: http://www.meetup.com/Knit-Sip-Crochet-Soirees/.

Bedroom for rent in Medford - $566 a month plus utilities

(I know this isn't Davis Square, but we spend all of our social time in Davis and it's only a half hour bike ride/45 minute walk/15 minute drive away!)

2 roommates looking for 3rd for November 1. We are both young professionals, 23/m and 24/f looking for other young professionals or grad students. Apartment has spacious kitchen with dishwasher, a living room and dining room with cool accents, back enclosed porch, and our own dedicated laundry in the basement. The apartment was recently renovated and the landlords are ridiculously responsive and nice! On-street parking, and walking distance from Medford center, Tufts, and buses to Davis and Sullivan Squares. Conveniently located right off of Rt. 16, Mystic Valley Parkway, and 93. We're both on the quiet side, 420 friendly, and have two ridiculously friendly cats. When our current roommate leaves, we will be down a dining room table and one of two couches, so if you have stuff, you're more than welcome to bring it!

About us:
Me: Higher ed professional woman working in Waltham. I like to experiment with cooking, keep up with my aquarium, and blog.
Him: Technical writer in Burlington. Likes to fiddle with gadgets and disprove any preconceptions you have about English majors.

We have oil heat, but we're on the 2nd (top) floor and the place is well insulated (and we're big fans of using blankets!) so we expect to keep heating costs low. We do not have cable, but have been doing fine streaming Netflix and Hulu+.

Applicants will need to pass a credit check from the current landlord and pay first and last month's rent. The lease turns to month to month on Feb. 1, though we plan on staying at least through the summer if not longer. We would prefer someone who plans on staying until at least the summer.

Note: While our roommate who is leaving has a cat, we'd like to try to keep the cats down to 2. These two get along really well and if possible, we don't want to throw off the balance. We will, however, consider one more cat.
