Hmm, it’s almost time for me to move to Porter Square and start enjoying the benifits of living right across the street from a T station. The truck is rented, lease signed and ready for me to pick up, utilities cancled and moved to the new location on forest street. All that is needed is for Colin and I to occupy the place. Great thing about picking up a roomate is that the price we pay per month drops dramaticly. Biggest bummer about this place was the initial outlay which amounted to 4 month rent up front. Basicly we payed first, last and security deposit plus full brokers fee. It was worth it as this place was a find. It is super clean with no warping or scratching on the hardwood floors or walls and great natural lighting in every room. We move in Saturday and are trying to get others to move to Porter to start the Porter contingent to combat both the Arlington, Somerville and Central Square posses.
The weekend after the move I am planning on having a bar stocking party where people bring hard alcohol to mix their favorite drinks and whatever is left over at the end of the night stays for the next party. Hopefully I can get people I have met from around the area interacting with those I know from the Linux world. It will be interesting since I predominantly know people from work and the Gnome community but I am sure there will be enough alcohol flowing that it won’t devolve down into talking shop the whole evening. Having good friends come over to celebrate settling into a new home should be fun nonetheless.
