HELP

lucyrulesok · 09.19.2009, 01:03 AM

ok, so... i'm in new york and my hostel has been closed down because it is a fire hazard, so i have nowhere to stay and no money for a hotel and generally am pretty fucked, so if any of you know of a patch of floor that me and my friends could sleep on (we don't need much space or creature comforts) then i would be eternally grateful.

seriously. any help at all would be appreciated.

pbradley · 09.19.2009, 01:06 AM

Holy shit, wish I could help but I'm on the other side of the continent. Good luck.

davenotdead · 09.19.2009, 01:22 AM

if this had happened yesterday you could've slept on a couch with davenotdead and a floor for yr friends

lucyrulesok · 09.19.2009, 02:07 AM

well i appreciate the sentiment guys, but not that helpful!

dave... where are you now? got any ny contacts i can tap?

jon boy · 09.19.2009, 02:12 AM

if cryptowondertwat offers then i would decline, he will be taking pictures of you while you sleep no doubt and not in a good way.

davenotdead · 09.19.2009, 12:21 PM

lucy, i don't really, my main contact up there actually left the day before i did.

and crypto isn't in nyc

notyourfiend · 09.19.2009, 01:36 PM

aw man.

i feel really bad.

i'm at the rents so i dont think i can offer any space.

have you considered couchsurfing?

SYRFox · 09.19.2009, 01:38 PM

Man this sucks
I live in France so I can't help but I hope you'll find something :/

lucyrulesok · 09.20.2009, 01:27 AM

ok don't worry, we found somewhere to stay with one of the guys who works at music inn (4th st and 6th ave in manhatten) which is a crazy world music shop where they make weird instruments and comic books so all is good.

not that you actually were worried... heehee

davenotdead · 09.20.2009, 01:29 AM

You really thought somebody here would help? Now THAT is funny.

gmku.... Sometimes you exhibit yourself to be an ember in Delmore Schwartz's fire.

amerikangod · 09.20.2009, 03:22 AM

I live in New York. If I lived alone I may have offered, but given that I have a roommate it'd totally be out of the question.

But that is a moot point given that you no longer need help.

pbradley · 09.20.2009, 03:27 AM

^ You sure are given a lot. I'm jealous. But is your roommate that uptight?

ploesj · 09.20.2009, 05:11 AM

good that things turned out ok :-)

Keeping It Simple · 09.20.2009, 06:17 AM

I would've pointed out there's more than one hostel in New York.

gmku · 09.20.2009, 09:55 AM

I would've pointed out that poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on ours.

kids these days

Did you always do things perfectly when you were a kid? I strongly doubt it.

I often find myself given as it is an easy way to draw a relationship between two ideas whilst writing.

My roommate (who is also my friend) is not uptight at all. If I lived alone, any risks or awkwardness involved in having complete strangers from the internet stay with me would fall entirely upon myself and, given (yeah baby) my mood, might be entirely inconsequential. But asking a friend to deal with those potential risks and awkwardness is totally uncouth and also potentially a strain on our living situations.
