If you sublet here...you would be looking at pictures of your house right now
I am headed off on a summer adventure, but my room gets lonely! Want to sublet it from me from June 13th (ish)-Sept 30th(ish) (aka, dates are semi negotiable)?
This is the front stoop.
This is the glorious kitchen
And this is my room. excellent mattress, room for 2 people to do yoga at the SAME TIME!, no closet, but nice shelving/hanging space. It gets GREAT afternoon light. the room can come with guitar and mandolin if you are into music...
The house… is small. It has been rented for many years "as is" so it is a little rough around the edges. we have four bed rooms, a decent sized kitchen (with stainless steel prep table and lots of good cooking stuff), a small bathroom with a sink, toilet and a shower, and a storage room with a futon in it(used for storage, guests, and dinner party over flow). No living room. Located in the panhandle neighborhood. One block from the 21 and the 5 bus line, 2 blocks from the park, central and fulton, google it! The rent is 450/mo + 35/mo for internet, electricity, toilet paper & dish soap. I would like either all money up front or some sort of deposit/agreement. most apartments in SF are expensive, the smallness of the apt is one of the ways we save on rent.
The roomies:
2 cats: rainbow and bean. Friendly, potty trained, and otherwise tolerable/cuddly
roomie 1: in his 40s. works a lot, keeps to himself, but is very enjoyable (in my opinion) to be around, mediates
roomie 2 (me): in her late 20's, working at a cafe and Hayes valley farm, riding bikes, yoga, and living the city life. vegan
Roomie 3: in her late 20's, musician, fun gal, works @ a cafe, loves life, and is going on tour this summer, so she will be gone for a few weeks too.
The vibe: the house is small & the walls are thin. We are open to establishing rules/expectations that help everyone share space in the most comfortable of ways. We all ride bikes, and keep our bikes in the hallway. We live light, or at least try to. We mostly enjoy the party outside of the house, but have friends over for dinner occasionally.

Urban Eating League
The Urban Eating League is a monthly locally-sourced progressive meal with a competitive tilt. Host sites buy and cook food (the cost is covered by the entry fee from the eaters). The teams of eaters travel around to all the different host sites. Eaters score the host sites on various categories (flavor, execution, hospitality, and creativity). The scores are tallied at the dessert potluck after-party and prizes and awards are handed out to the host sites.
Interested in being a host? Read the details below and e mail UEL@wiggparty.org to sign up for our next brunch (April 17th, BRUNCH! Or May 15th, in the evening!)
Host have the opportunity to show case their food, hospitality, and creative skills with a captive audience. The hosts are really the most important element of the event. These are the folks who put in the hard work to make sure the eaters have such an amazing time. Top scoring host sites win prizes, fame, and Internet publicity (posted on multiple bay area community websites). Plus, it’s FUN!
The hosts are responsible for planning a menu, finding the local ingredients, cooking the food, setting the environmental ambiance and overall experience, and generally making it all possible. To help entice people to be hosts (because it really is a challenging workload), we make sure to line up prizes to be awarded at the end of the evening, and we also offer anyone who helps on the hosting end status as “Very Important Eaters” i.e. they get first crack at being eaters in the next event (a serious draw considering the demand far exceeds the supply of eating slots in each UEL event).
We recommend that each host site has at least four people there to help during the event. The host sites need to be able to greet the teams upon entry and engage them in some sort of “front of the house experience” (e.g. performing a ceremony or a skit, setting expectations for the menu, explaining the theme, etc), have at least two people focused on cooking and plating the food, and have someone available to wash dishes in the time between each duo of teams leaves and the new duo arrives (we’ve found that 30 minutes at each site and 15 minutes to travel between sites works well - that means each host site has 15 minutes to “turn things over”).
Interesting in being an eater? Sign up at the Grove st. (@ Divsaedero) Farmers Market starting at 10am till we sell out (we usually sell out before noon).
