My friend, Anne H won a pair of free tickets on The Morning Show, and invited me to come along to the Greg Brown concert Friday evening.

It was a sold out concert, with Bo Ramsey as warm-up act, and instrumental accompanist to Greg. I wish my memory for lyrics were better: there were a lot of great songs I hadn't heard before. Some very topical (ABC, NBC, CIA) and others very humorous, like the 'eulogy' song. (Introducing this, Brown commented, "Whether or not there's a God, we need to pray.")

I wonder if The Morning Show knows that its tickets were for the worst seats in the house? (At the very back of the wheelchair accessible section. I couldn't get in and out without hooking my clothes on somebody's breathing apparatus, and the stage was only half visible. Fortunately the acoustics were so good.)

I like Greg Brown. I listened to his music on my drive home from Mn.

And about friends....the one friend I thought I had in Portland dropped out of touch when she heard I needed help. I'll check craigslist for cheap moving guys with a truck, but I need someplace to go first. The owners are threatening to call the sherrif to remove me....I don't know if that's legal, so I'm scared to death. I have to get my Kiwi out of here, and take him to the bird-sitter for an extended stay so he's safe!

I wish I had an answer for you. If you were in Mpls; I've got futon on the porch where you could crash at least temporarily. I don't know anything about the Portland area. Have you looked further afield? Seattle maybe?

I think I will be able to get one here- it's just that today is Sunday, no one is open, and I'm supposed to be out by midnight. I know I can't do it- I'm just sad that it looks like I'll have an official eviction on my record....which will make it near impossible to rent in future.
I will get through this! I just feel so alone and beat up right now. I thank you for all of your help and thoughtfulness. Just staying in touch and knowing people are there helps. :)

I had a thought last night- to just put everything in storage ($100/mo) and come home for a month until my apt. is ready. I did find one- at a smaller complex- that is only $625!! for a 2 bd townhouse!! and they liked me....it just won't be available until Nov 1st. I'm so stressed I can't tell if that's a good idea or just wishful.

Temp storage sounds like a great idea to take care of your stuff until you've got a place. In the meanwhile you'd have more choices: visit home, or friends in other cities, check for things like YMCA or other short-term lodgings.
