Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

You're doing great, Suela. Keep at it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Good luck, Gud!

$94/night in SF sounds cheap to me, even with a shared bathroom, but I don't really know how SF hotel pricing goes. (In Manhattan, there's basically Expensive and Shitty, without much in-between.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tommy, last year I stayed at the Carl.

What's the Carl? The hostel I linked to?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The Carl Hotel, on Carl Street about two blocks from Haight Street, Cole Valley and GG Park, not to mention right on the N line so pretty convenient to downtown. Dirt cheap but clean.

I don't know that hostel at all, but it looks excellent. You might also want to give Hotwire or something similar a try; I'm pretty sure I have booked nicer-than-hostel rooms for about the same price you're being quoted now that way.

I got a very small room with a very small, but private, bathroom, for $89 a night. I was kind of restricted because I don't do well on stairs - there's one small section that has minimal stairs, the others are all up a steep full flight of steps. But still - $89 struck me as a major bargain (I checked the place we'd had the F2F .. and it was something like $300 a night).

Thanks, JZ. The Carl looks cool, but so far I don't see prices. Anyway, I'll talk to Monica tonight so we can pick a place.

eta: Ooh, Toddson has the price.

I just agreed to foster a chihuahua puppy for the weekend. This should be fun.

I can see doing that for a weekend. Or maybe a day.

Tommy, that was last year and it was probably their smallest, least expensive room. The bathroom was so small (insert joke) that the sink was in the main room. Also, there was no separate light in the bathroom, so I took showers in the light that filtered in from the main room.
