Hi everybody,

Well, I have to move. I have loved living in the back of a used clothing store, but I always knew it was a temporary situation. I have submitted a business plan to the owner that involves me throwing parties as a marketing campaign for his stores, so the parties may continue...maybe.

I am suppose to be out of Clothes Contact by the beginning of the year. I have been very lucky with my living situations so far, but where to next? Well, I don't know. I would like to stay in the Mission. I definitely want to stay in San Francisco. I would love someplace odd and interesting like my current situation, a cool warehouse or a Castle, but know that is unlikely. I also wouldn't mind a house with regular house mates, a shower and a kitchen. Any suggestions?

I am working in Palo Alto.  I take the train every day, so I am usually gone from about 9am to 9pm M-F. Living in the store was great, not only because I had the best living room in the city, but because Max would hang out in the store every day and is a very happy dog. Therein lies my biggest dilemma; what about Max? I need a place were Max, one of the happiest, sweetest, cleanest and quietest dogs I have ever met, can be comfortable. He is seven and now is content to lay around most of the day. He can easily keep from going potty for 12 hours, but I would not want to make him do that every day. So a place with a backyard or roommates that don't mind letting him out on occasion would be ideal, but a dog walker is also an option. The bottom line is I need a place where Max is welcome and comfortable.

Please let me know if you hear of something!

Best wishes to all of you,

~Paul
