jazzfish: an open bottle of ether, and George conked out (Ether George)
The Plan:

Virginians, start showing up on Satyrday the second of August (hey, that's this Satyrday!) at my place around ten. Stuff, starting with bookcases and other furniture and proceeding on to a gazillion bankers' boxes, shall be hauled next door and up a flight. (I'm moving from 1647 #1 to 1649 #3.)

Marylanders and DCists (Districtese?) are welcome to pop down to my place, or up to [livejournal.com profile] uilos's to help her load. Normally I'd be delighted to haul people to my place from the West Falls Church metro, but after an encounter with a vicious parking pillar, Straylight will be spending the week in the body shop. The 3T bus departs the metro every hour on the hour and is about a fifteen-minute ride. Once it turns onto Anderson off of Chain Bridge / 123 and passes through one more stoplight Magarity and passes the ex-Safeway on the left, pull the cord. Get off at the next stop; I'm across the street. ETA: Or call me (phone # in contact info post) when you get aboveground, and I'll either go get you or send a minion to do so.

At some point, hopefully by noonish, [livejournal.com profile] uilos will call me to let me know that she and her truckload and her minions are on their way over. At this point Vocelli's will be ordered in copious quantities. Shortly thereafter will be the ritual Devouring of the Za[1]. After this we empty the truck and finish moving whatever's left in my apartment, and then collapse.

I've got a decent amount of misc Stuff that I don't feel like keeping. Show up and you're welcome to what of it you like.

To quote [livejournal.com profile] uilos, because what she says goes for me too: I'm looking for a headcount of how many people are going to be able to help with moving. I'm also looking for what kind of pizza you like or don't like. If you want something to drink other than water while we move, lemme know in advance and I'll see about getting some. There'll be sodas and such for lunch [but let me know if you have particular requests]. I have the apartment for another two weeks, so I'm not at all concerned getting it into returnable shape this weekend.

I swear I think about things other than moving. One of these days I may even post about some of them.



[1] I cannot use this "word" without thinking of Sloan calling out "Hey babe, za's gettin' cold," followed by Ellen explaining to Geoffrey Richard, "I have to go. The za is getting cold."

"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen

Yeah. That sounds about right.
