Since my landlord lives in London, England and my apartment is in a
house in downtown Accordion
City,
he’s paying me nicely to place classified ads and show the place to
potential renters. I enjoy schmoozing, the apartment is quite nice and
the applicants have largely been trios of very charming young women,
so
it’s no great hardship.
Thus far, the visitors are all responding to a posting I made in the
Craigslist, in which I point to this blog and specifically
entry with a lot of photos of the house.
A number of them have gone on to read other parts of the blog, as at
least half the visitors have congratulated me on my engagement. One
even enjoyed the Worst Date Ever
series of stories!
The best line to come from a potential renter thus far came from a

Ha! that totally sounds like something I would say.
I hope you have pointed out to all these charming young women that Big Trouble in Little China has a very active alumni associationg that likes to be invited to regular reunions there.
Also are you planning to have Big Trouble in Little China go out with a bang or just a whimper? It is the end of an era so surely the neighbours would understand just one more hot tub truck...
It may have to be a whimper, as my last two weekends in the house are booked. This coming Saturday, I'm at a friend's wedding. Next weekend, I'm scheduled for a trip to Boston for my wedding dinner tasting. I think we should just enjoy our party memories of this house.
Of course, I'm not ruling out a party at the new place...
Are you making sure to take photos of these visitors so you don't have to make a wonky drawing like the guy in your previous post?

Is there a new place yet? Still anxiously awaiting part 2 of your apartment hunting adventures.
Oh no. That means sometime in the past while Big Trouble in Little China jumped the shark
me too! me too! did you end up finding a place?
